Day 127 – 365

Day 127 – 365 / May 7th 2015 In case you were wondering, and to prevent any confusion, I took this picture of a polling station sign displayed outside the station we were at today. And, furthermore, I took it shortly before we opened our station. Sarah and I were two small cogs in the huge wheel…

Day 126 – 365

  Day 126 – 365 / May 6th 2015 This was a first for me. And a nerve wrecking yet exciting first too. Tom Fletcher from Bantams Banter invited me to appear as a guest on tonights West Yorkshire Sports show on BBC Radio Leeds. My fellow guests, John “Graham” Duckworth and Angela, discussed all manner of…

Day 125 – 365

  Day 125 – 365 / May 5th 2015 Here are my two little monkeys, Barbados Monkey and Berlin Monkey, looking after my photo of Grandpa. They are doing a great job too.

Day 124 – 365

  Day 124 – 365 / May 4th 2015 I’d forgotten that Bethany, Georgia and Emma had taken the trouble to get every Bradford City player at last weeks Player Of The Year Awards to sign this autograph sheet. I think it looks rather fab. Thank you girls.

Day 123 – 365

  Day 123 – 365 / May 3rd 2015 We paid a visit to my parents this afternoon to say hello and give my dad his presents ahead of his 74th birthday this coming Thursday. When we arrived he had just put some shortbread biscuits into the oven and, 20 minutes later, these beauties were ready. Very tasty…

Day 122 – 365

  Day 122 – 365 / May 2nd 2015 A heavy, leaden sky with just a glimmer of bright sunshine and a field of golden yellow rapeseed. This was the pretty scene as we travelled to York to visit friends for the day and I thought it perfect for today’s picture.

Day 121 – 365

  Day 121 – 365 / May 1st 2015 One Post-It note, one brown Sharpie pen, one pair of scissors and one biscuit. Combined they make silly faces. And a tasty snack. And crumbs.

Day 120 – 365

  Day 120 – 365 / April 30th 2015 Last Friday we were in Bradford to see a play. You may recall my image for the day that showed the delightful murals painted on the underpass. I enthused about the beauty that is not often seen and goes unnoticed. Regrettably we also saw the opposite side…

Day 119 – 365

  Day 119 – 365 / April 29th 2015 When I’m not blogging images for my “365 Project” or selling caps or trying to write my novel or any of the other shenanigans that I tend to spend time on, you can find me at my day job doing signs, graphics and things of that nature….

Day 118 – 365

Day 118 – 365 / April 28th 2015 I may have asked this question before. Have any of you seen a common theme throughout some (many?) of my “365” images? Well, if you have not, then pictures of Bradford City and/or claret and amber shenanigans run through a lot of them. Tonight saw Valley Parade play…

Day 117 – 365

Day 117 – 365 / April 27th 2015 Another season is over. Well, we have one more away match to play on Saturday but our home games came to an end at the weekend with a 1-0 win against Barnsley. So, this years season ticket is added to my collection of those from recent seasons. How…

Day 116 – 365

Day 116 – 365 / April 26th 2015 What a better way to spend your Sunday than to engage in a wee bit of “stealth marketing”on behalf of your favourite new British author? The picture for today is of my, rather natty I think, Post-It notes encouraging folk to buy the new book by Tina Seskis….

Day 115 – 365

Day 115 – 365 / April 25th 2015 It’s match day – again! Today, the final home game of the season, sees our club pay it respects to those lost on 11th May 1985. For 30 years Bradford City has held a quite and dignified tribute to the 56 fans who did not return from Valley…

Day 114 – 365

Day 114 – 365 / April 24th 2015 We were in Bradford city centre this evening to “The 56”, a play about the Bradford City fire. Emotional and powerful, the play moved me to tears as I expected it would. Whilst making our way from the car to the theatre we used the underpass at Jacobs…
