Day 22 – Baby, It’s Cold Outside…
It’s been a pretty mild winter so far – no snow here and a few clear days too, but it looks set to change with snow forecast later today, and for later in the week. Time to get the thermals out…
Day 21 – Final Resting Place…
After a cloudy start to the morning, things brightened up as I drove through town, so I figured I could find some interesting detail in the local graveyard to set against the colourful sky. The wide angle (18mm) lens fitted to the iPhone allows for a more dramatic perspective. 
Day 20 – It’s Showtime…
So today we took our 9 and 10 year old granddaughters to the tour version of Strictly Come Dancing – one of their Christmas gifts from us. Along with another 8000 fans in the audience in Birmingham, they absolutely loved it! We enjoyed it too, apart from the hour or so it took us to get out of the car park after the show…
Day 19 – A Wartime Relic…
These few rusted sheets of corrugated iron are all that remains of the former army camp at Prees, near Whitchurch. Originally a WW1 training camp, an airfield was also built nearby at the beginning of WW2, and it later became a Prisoner of War camp. After the war it served as housing for Polish refugees and army families before being closed and abandoned in the 1950s. 
Day 17 – What’s Behind The Doors? …
Sometimes when I see an old locked up garage I wonder about the secrets it holds. Is there a beautifully restored vintage car in there, or just someone’s everyday transport, safely out of the weather? Is it full of sports and holiday gear waiting for summer or just a pile of old household rubbish to be sorted out? Maybe even something more mysterious? What do you think?

Day 16 – No Water Shortage Here…
Driving up to Doncaster today to see a relative in hospital, I decided to make a short detour to Lumsdale Falls on the edge of the Peak District. As seems usual each time I go there, it was raining, but this made for some nice highlights on the rocks. I took a few shots with my phone, but the Sony A7iii comes into it’s own with a subject like this.

Day 15 – Not Long Now…
It’s been a good few years since we went on a package holiday, so really looking forward to our winter sunshine break! Hoping for some good photo opportunities too…

Day 14 – My Favourite Pub…
Not only is The Red Lion my favourite pub, but it’s also a brewery! The pub dates back to 1623 and the brewery was built on the site in 2010, brewing Slumbering Monk ale and Green Monkey craft lager. With great food too, it’s a popular stop on our walks in the area. 
Day 13 – Baring it all…
It’s only really at this time of the year that you see the true shape of trees without any leaves on at all, and I’m always amazed at just how twisty the branches of an oak tree are…
