At last, nearly half way through January we have had a decent frost. All slippery roads and pavements and car crashes and journey delays; well it was going to happen sooner or later. On the plus side it cleared fairly quickly so that people could go about their business safely. I had intended to try…
The streets of Bath are notoriously busy, there are the locals, the tourists, people coming for the shopping, people coming for the rugby, or the university, or the other university or the Jane Austen Society and so it goes on. With such crowded streets there are also people attracted by the fact that the streets…
Today I will say a little about Border Terriers. Border Terriers are small brown dogs originally from the northwest of England and the border area between England and Scotland. They were used by the local fox hunts for sending down the fox’s earth to chase them out. They were also popular with farmers as good…
Once again it has been a fine and sunny day in the beautiful city of Bath. As usual on a Saturday we went to the Farmers’ Market at Green Park Station which was much busier this week but still not up to full strength in the post New Year period. As it was such a…
This slightly faded and shabby facade is the main entrance to Harefield Hospital near Uxbridge west of London. Harefield Hospital was opened in 1937 and is part of the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust.

Yesterday evening Mrs Sixwheeler and I went to London. Nearly didn’t make it as we missed our bus to the station but another came along and we just scraped in to catch our train. Phew. The purpose of the trip was that a number of climbing clubs have a joint series of “London Lectures” over…
Once again we were blessed with heavy rain this morning; I think that I may well be suited to hibernation really. Later in the morning it had changed to clear blue skies so, as we’re off to London later, I grabbed the dog and headed out for a quick walk. At the end of our…
Today did not look at all inspiring and once again I got soaked just going to the shops; frankly I’m getting a bit fed up with all this rain. However as the morning went on the sun came out and Mrs Sixwheeler and I decided to grab the opportunity to take the dog for a…
It is my intention with this project to TAKE and PUBLISH a photograph every day. That is to say not to have a bank of pictures that I can slip in if I haven’t taken one. So far so good but I dare say the time will come when I may ‘lapse’ but when I…
