  • Porto,

    We were quite busy after Vilamoura so didn’t really get much time to post stuff. Porto, in my mind, is a slice of old Portugal, with narrow streets and high buildings it can feel quite claustrophobic as it is inundated with tourists. Sadly some of the most beautiful buildings are in need of some TLC…

  • Liverpool and Chester

    This weekend it’s been Liverpool for a Merchant Navy Association AGM then Chester to meet up with two of the kids and their better halves Originally hoping to go round Chester Zoo, at £40 per person there is no chance we were going to spend £240 for a 4 hour visit! Instead it was lunch…

  • Faro

First here in Vilamoura then next weekend we go north to Porto. Arrived yesterday so it’s the marina…

  • V&A Dundee

    Three iPhone photos from our day. I used the opportunity to take a number of photographs with my Boronica ETRSi, both black and white (Ilford HP5) and colour (Kodak Ektra 100). This weekend is devoted to developing and printing.

  • Dundee

    Off to the V&A in Dundee to see a photo exhibition

  • More Skeet

    I couldn’t add this to my earlier blog, dunno why. Anyway, dusting clays is great fun

  • Skeet

    Something a bit different. My other passion after shooting with a camera is shooting with a shotgun. Today a wee practice before a competition tomorrow. Pleased with the results 24/25 and 20/25 at English Skeet
