Total panic this afternoon as this little devil disappeared from the garden and had me in a total panic. I don’t know if she had got out or if she was hiding but, thankfully, she was home when I returned from driving around looking for her.
Day 202 – 365
Day 202 – 365 / July 21st 2015 An early image of the day for you this morning. I have been busy working on a graphic to show folk how to measure their heads for caps and trappers. The graphic will be used on our website, which we are currently putting together ahead (sorry, poor…

Day 201 – 365 / July 20th 2015 From today’s The Times newspaper. Happy Birthday to Nicola Benedetti – don’t overindulge, we have tickets to see you in September and want you in tip-top form!
Day 200 – 365
Day 200 – 365 / July 19th 2015 A close up of my garden table which I revamped and tiled last summer. Once again the colours are part of a recurring theme with me.
Day 199 – 365
Day 199 – 365 / July 18th 2015 A close up of my Washington DC badge, bought during my previous US trip to Washington, after I secured it to my trusty Billingham camera bag.
Day 198 – 365
Day 198 – 365 / July 17th 2015 Elphie The Mini Schnauzer Puppy has a large box full of her toys. Inside it she has assorted soft toys, balls, chewy rubber pulls and the odd plastic bottle she has rescued from the recycling bag. Here you can see some of her favourites. From left to…
Day 197 – 365
Day 197 – 365 / July 16th 2015 I spotted this little chap as I returned from a local job lettering a vehicle in Mirfield. I’d just spent the previous three hours applying graphics the both sides, bonnet and rear doors of a Mercedes Sprinter van for a client. The sun was high in the…
Day 196 – 365
Day 196 – 365 / July 15th 2015 ***CAUTION – YUKKINESS*** The footwear on the left, my oh so comfy, trusted and claret and amber themed Doc Marten’s, have had to be put to one side for a few days in favour of the monstrosities on the right. Why? Well, this is where the yukkiness appears, I’ve…
Day 195 – 365
Day 195 – 365 / July 14th 2015 What better sight than a fridge full of beer? And cider. Cider’s good too. American beer and English cider. US and UK – kinda sums me up. I love them both (or is that all?) I rather enjoy a bottle of Budweiser and, freshly returned from The Good…
Day 194 – 365
Day 194 – 365 / July 13th 2015 The news has been full of references to and stories about Pluto. The planet not the daft cartoon dog created by Disney. So, imagine my delight when, late at night and tucked in bed reading on my Kindle, I came across this reference to that very planet in…
Day 193 – 365
Day 193 – 365 / July 12th 2015 Before we went on holiday the weather was atrocious. In the main it followed us to America whilst, annoyingly the UK basked in record temperatures. Then after landing back home last week, the rain and dull conditions continued. Until today. Beautiful sunny and warm weather saw us spend…
Day 192 – 365
Day 192 – 365 / July 11th 2015 These words are either; A) gold dust, an early draft of what will be considered, in due course, as among the very best of modern day novels. or B) total rubbish. Either way, on the flight to America, I penned five and a half pages of what I hope will…
Day 191 – 365
Day 191 – 365 / July 10th 2015 Lavender in my garden looking lovely and smelling fab. We planted these as teeny, tiny, little “plug” plants two years ago when we had the garden dug out and these gabbion baskets built as a retaining wall for the “top” garden above our nee patio and conservatory. The…
