For 2014 I set myself a project to take and publish a photograph every day. Hopefully. Here are the results.
It is The Independent Bath Literary Festival time, mind you there’s always some festival or other going on in Bath. Last night I went to see the legendary Count Arthur Strong which is always a treat and tonight Mrs Sixwheeler and I are going to see the cookery writer Claudia Roden who has long been…
As I’m going out tonight I will do today’s picture rather earlier than usual. Today has been a day of glorious Spring like sunshine and as I have been occupying myself with first Gloucester Cathedral then Sherborne Abbey I thought that I should also include our local and glorious Bath Abbey. So here it is.…
On the recommendation of our friends at edwardsdorsetdays we visited the Dorset town of Sherborne. This is about fifty miles from us and for about forty of those we drove through, well, nowhere at all. This corner of the West Country really is empty apart from farms and villages that you pass through and would…
Today has been one of the highlights of the year in Bath as it saw the annual running of the Bath Half Marathon. According to BBC Points West there were over eleven thousand starters, thirty thousand spectators and the sum raised for charities exceeded two and a half million pounds. All this is very good…
Following the third most ugly building in Bath, here is part of our favourite Bath feature, The Circus.

Obviously not everything in Bath is completely beautiful and to prove that point here is a picture of Kingsmead House which was recently voted the third ugliest building…
I know that I already used some crocuses for one of these shots (see Day 40) but when I saw these I couldn’t resist. The colour is so intense in the sunshine; Spring on the way? 27 February 2014
Today we happened to be in Marshfield and it turned out to be a very pretty village indeed. Apart from several pubs and village shops there is a shop that used to be a haberdashery but is now selling pet food, papers and all manner of things from the original shelves and drawers. It looked…
Maude and I were enjoying a delightful walk in Royal Victoria Park today. It was dry, warm and the sun was shining. But we had a sinister feeling that someone was watching us. 25 February 2014
On the pretence of visiting the Gloucester Quays outlet centre I took Mrs Sixwheeler to Gloucester today. As I had hoped the outlet centre was frightful, avenues of rather desperate shops with hardly anyone about. We had a coffee and decided to walk into the centre of Gloucester and have a look round as we…
