Day 51 – 365 / February 20th 2015 Now this, the 51st image in my “365” Project, is one that I am very happy with. If you have been reading any of my recent blog entries then you will know that I am involved in a project to raise funds for the Bradford Burns Unit…
Day 50 – 365
Day 50 -365 / February 19th 2015 Fifty up. If I were an England opening batsman I’d be walking to the middle of the wicket, removing my helmet and raising my bat into the air. I would then turn to each side of Lord’s and point my bat towards the fans in the stand by…

LR#25: “When We Were Friends” by Tina Seskis
Anyone seen Spinal Tap? Yes? Then you’ll be familiar with the “Put it up to eleven” quote. This book, for me, is in that vein. Don’t bother looking at the bottom of my review to see how many moustaches I give it…I’ll tell you now, it gets six out of five. The story is of…
Day 48 – 365
Day 48 – 365 / February 17th 2015 A display and sign seem tonight at IKEA near Leeds. Whilst I do not doubt that summer is coming, on this cold night in February, I disagree that “Summer Is Almost Here”.
Day 47 – 365
Day 47 – 365 / February 16th 2015 It’s nice to spend some time in the limelight. Failing that it’s nice to make a sign that says “Limelight”. This is one such sign. Acrylic letters mounted onto a composite aluminium substrate using plastic locators. The substrate is faced in two shades of green vinyl. The…
Day 46 – 365
Day 46 – 365 / February 15th 2015 That hand you see here, apart from being a fine example of a left hand, is clenched into a fist. A fist displaying delight, determination, celebration and joy. It is a also my fist and was formed split seconds, possibly at the very moment, after Jon Stead…

Day 44 – 365
Day 44 – 365 / February 13th 2015 One of life’s little, but great, pleasures awaits in this image. Namely, the moment when you peel that seal from the top of a new jar of coffee. The rich, wonderful, smell of coffee that greets you. The deep breath you inhale as you savour the heady,…
Day 43 – 365
Day 43 – 365 / February 12th 2015 My dad taught me to tie a necktie. Specifically he taught me a Windsor knot, as shown in today’s image. I’ve taken to wearing a tie most days, including weekends. This is one of my favourites; a lovely wool tie in a tartan. Can you spot why…

The Bantams Flat Caps – 30th Anniversary of the Bradford City Fire At the start of December 2014, I got a phone call from Jeremy White from Bradford City Badges. I first met Jeremy a few years ago when I became a subscriber to his range of City badges and, in the subsequent years, we…
Day 41 – 365
Day 41 – 365 / February 10th 2015 I came into our kitchen this morning and was greeted by a brilliant, warm golden glow cast by the rising sun onto our workshop. It illuminated our bread bin and my bottles of Uncle Jack that, for some reason, reside next to it. The image looked quite…
Day 40 – 365
Day 40 – 366 / February 9th 2015 Guess what? I’m back to taking pictures of my beloved Bradford City for use in the “365” Project. This image was taken at the very end of the players pre-match warm up routines before this evenings match against MK Dons at Valley Parade. The players shown are…
