March 2018

March 2018 was a fabulous month. It began as I escaped the 'Beast From The East' and went to Gozo with my friend Jason who was having a troubled time. My one-time buddy and associate Derek had moved to Gozo and we reckoned that Jason would benefit from a spell in the sunshine and being scared to death by my driving around the roads there!

derek had also bought a 1980s Skoda Rapide 130 and was slowly taking it completely to bits with the idea of putting it back together again.

Gozo was a real delight. Beautiful views everywhere, nice people and cheap.

Then, at the end of the month I went to Anglesey, another island and somewhere I had always wanted to visit. the travel bug seems to have got me now.

February 2018

This month was cold. really cold, and ended with a trip to Amsterdam to see my son Russell and his new daughter Allannah. I wrote a story for her and illustrated it on the way.

Amsterdam seems to want to tell you about sex everywhere. Vaguely portentous, although i wouldn't know then.

Russell's apartment is on the 7th fllor of this remarkable block. All actually quite well built and managed. Nice park all around. Just damn cold.

January 2018

The Moon, looking good again, a fat pigeon and another rainbow to start 2018 in good style! It's going to be quite a year.

December 2017

One of many jackdaws who like to eat whatever I throw out of the window onto the new roof on the garage below.

It snowed. Unusual for December these days!

And another gorgeous sky at night as the year draws to an end.

November 2017

As I begin to go into hibernation, few pictures this month. I did, however, win 2nd prize in the Telegraph Crossword competition again.

October 2017

A harvest moon, I think, but it was impossible to focus. Nevertheless, quite an interesting photo after all!

My car gets what will probably be the last clean of the year! Looks great still. I think that is 2 years now since I bought it.

September 2017

More fabulous sky photos.

Matti and Kirri at Kirri's new residence in Derby.

I manage to get quite close to the bird I have been chasing for ages.

My brother-in-law William, or Uncle Bill as we all call him, dropped in one day with an enormous home on wheels thing. Great to see him and we always have a good chuckle.

Still trying to catch that bird...
