Day 95 – 365

Day 95 – 365 / April 5th 2015 When your site box tips over in your van and the drawers open it appears that the contents spill all over. But, that means you have to sort it all out and this allows you to reorganise it better. And doing it in the warm sunshine is…

 Day 94 – 365 / April 4th 2015 This is what happens to your puppy’s paws when you cut the grass and she chases around on it. “Grinchy Paws”!

Day 93 – 365

Day 93 – 365 / April 3rd 2015 “Paradise Alley”. A 1978 film starring Sylvester Stallone. A film that I saw in the early 80’s, possibly 1981, on BBC TV. I loved it! Especially the title song sung by Stallone himself. The lyrics are fab and Stallone’s delivery is great. I bought the album for…

Day 89 – 365

Day 89 – 365 / March 30th 2015 You may be aware of my part in creating caps from a bespoke designed tweed. The caps are being sold to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the Valley Parade fire and all the profits go to the Burns Unit at Bradford University. The pocket square I’m wearing…

Day 88 – 365

Day 88 / 365 / March 29th 2015 Whilst looking through today’s Sunday Times Culture section I spied this advert. Now, as a fan of Charlie and Craig Reud, aka The Proclaimers, I get emails warning of upcoming releases and tour dates. One came through a few weeks ago and I looked at the venues where…

Day 87 – 365

Day 87 – 365 / March 28th 2015 Taken from inside my van after today’s match against Oldham Athletic at Valley Parade. We had just beaten them 2-0 to maintain our hopes, rather slim in my view, of reaching the promotion play-offs this season. Two strikes from Billy Clarke, both late in the second half…

Day 86 – 365

Day 86 – 365 / March 27th 2015 The view of the Holywell Ash Lane end of Valley Parade as seen from just inside the six yard box in front of the Kop. I was on the pitch today, along with Jeremy and Liz from BantamsFlatCaps.co.uk, for a photoshoot following a meeting with Bradford City…

Day 84 – 365

Day 84 – 365 / March 25th 2015 I recently added a “365” image of the new street lamps on our road. Today’s image is of the old lamp – yes, they’re still there, alongside the new ones. If you have ever wondered what the inside of a decommissioned electric lamp post looks like, then…

Day 83 – 365

 Day 83 – 365 / March 24th 2015 We are all familiar with the experience of registering for various online accounts – shopping sites, social media, travel, entertainment and sporting sites for example. Often, when registering your details, you are given the option to use a title beyond the usual Mr, Mrs or Doctor. When…

Day 82 – 365

Day 82 – 365 / March 23rd 2015 A simple picture for today’s “365” image. My Mac is set to have the desktop background change regularly from the selection of rather fine images stored on it. This particular one drew me with its drama and I felt it worthy of being included in this project.
