For 2014 I set myself a project to take and publish a photograph every day. Hopefully. Here are the results.
It had been a dark and stormy night, and then it got worse. Rain and Wind. Storm in western areas with wind speeds in excess of one hundred miles an hour. Floods rising because of more rain and sea surges, interruptions to electricity, trains cancelled and roads closed. Oh it’s been such a wonderful year…
I may, just possibly, have mentioned that the beautiful city of Bath is famous throughout the world for it’s gorgeous Georgian buildings. The Royal Crescent is the best known of these and a picture of it is the ‘go to’ shot whenever Bath is mentioned in the media. The length of one short street away…
Today we decided to walk to Chelsea Road to do a bit of shopping and generally look around. Obviously this was because it wasn’t raining and despite the warnings it wasn’t too cold either. On the way home we spotted this which amused us and I hope will amuse you too. 10 February 2014
Wow! Day 40 of this project, I have to say that I didn’t really think that it would get this far so well done me. I do look forward to the weather improving so that I can get a bit further afield and take some more interesting pictures. Today has mostly been rain but with…
Today has been completely mad. British readers will be aware of the problems on the Somerset Levels and Moors caused by the flooding. For those not aware this is an area of historic water meadows that have flooded since time immemorial. It rains; it floods;it drains away.This year however the volume of rain has been…
Once again it poured down during the night and early this morning but then . . . . . oh goodness, the rain stopped and the sun came out. To celebrate Mrs Sixwheeler and I took the bus into the city and, without any agenda, just browsed a bit, stopped for coffee and came home.…
It is becoming almost impossible to stay away from the dreadful weather we are suffering. The television news and the newspapers are full of reports and photographs of the washed out main railway line at Dawlish, the seas breaking over the inner harbour at Porthleven and the ongoing disaster that is The Somerset Levels where…
There is a much acclaimed group of six butchers shops in Cumbria called Cranstons Butchers who I have been following for some time on Twitter (@Cranstons1) as they represent the best in butchery. They work with local farmers and producers to provide excellence and have been doing so since 1914. Their Twitter feed is both…
Today the good citizens of Bath have been terrified by a strange bright light in the sky. Old boys in caps and wizened crones were seen scratching their heads as they tried to find a memory of this strange phenomenon. Then we all realised that it was that thing unseen for so long – the…
Drove home from the Lake District today and, mercifully, it stayed dry for the whole journey, in fact it was bright enough to need sunglasses for some of the time. It is always a pleasure to stay at our club’s cottage which is a useful base for exploration of the Eastern Lakes. Like most climbing…
