We've just spent a few days with my parents at their home in Gloucestershire which was very nice. While there I was able to take some photos of an unusual but regular visitor to their garden - an Albino Backbird. He was quite shy so I could only get photos through the double glazing but …
Basildon parkrun #37
Yesterday (12 December) I was volunteer photographer again at Basildon parkrun. I hadn't intended to be out photographing parkruns with Christmas approaching and an evening out to see Bombay Bicycle Club but they were in need of someone plus they were going to be running in the reverse direction for the first time so I decided …
Palace Theatre Tour
A fortuitous tweet this morning alerted me to the fact that our local theatre - literally at the top of our road - was having an open day today. Well this was an opportunity not to be missed so I hot-footed it up to see what I could see and photograph. We have seen a …
Southend Egret
Yesterday I was supposed to photographing the inaugural Brentwood parkrun however a nasty RTA in Southend mean't that I was held up so long that I didn't get there (sorry again guys). I returned home in a bit of a foul mood and decided as I had all my warm clothes on and my gear all …
Southend Fireworks – The sequel

So I head down again this evening and had another go. The weather was much better this evening - dry and …
Southend Fireworks
A quick trip out tonight to have a go at photographing fireworks. Southend Council put on a free firework display on the seafront every Saturday night through November (at least) so there is plenty of opportunity. It was dry - if cold - when I went but turned out to be very windy on the …
Southend Kitesurfing
It was a sunny morning so after doing the dad taxi thing and dropping my girl off in town I wandered down to Southend seafront to take some photos. The tide was high (very), the sea was choppy, and the wind was blowing hard off the estuary. It was really rather nice and I spent …
Braintree BMX
This afternoon I traveled north to Braintree to go and watch some BMX racing. This was partly as a friend was taking part as she and her lad are members of the club there. I don't recall ever going to watch BMX racing although I'm sure I did watch some at the 2012 Olympics on …
Warmwell Snowsports, Dorset
Last week we had a most excellent week staying at the Parkdean Warmwell park near Dorchester, Dorset. We have been staying at Warmwell for a while and this was our 5th and longest visit. We had a great lodge and the park facilities are very good - thoroughly recommended in fact. One of the big …
