Day 14 – 365 / January 14th 2015 Full time at Valley Parade and this my daughter, Bethany, moments after the full time whistle. I cannot decide if her expression is one of delight at the result, a very comfortable 4-0 win for our beloved Bradford City, or if it is of her amazement at…

Day 13 – 365 / January 13th 2015 What is this? I hear you cry. Let me enlighten you. Tonight was “Puppy Party” night for our newest recruit, Elphie The Puppy Mini Schnauzer, at our veterinary surgery. And, after an initial briefing and before the pups were let loose, we were shown the vet facilities….

Day 12 – 365 / January 12th 2015 Say hello to Maggie The Mini Schnauzer. Today’s image was snapped in the car park at our local Sainsburys. Maggie often accompanies me when I am out in my van and here she is happy I. Her basket on my back seat. The reason for her big…

Day 11 – 365 / January 11th 2015 I’d hate for you to regard me as a curmudgeon. I’d hate it but you’d probably be right. When it comes to children I am of the old school belief that they “ought to be seen and not heard”. And, if I am being totally honest, preferably…

Day 9 – 365 / January 9th 2015 I am a dedicated coffee fiend. I have, probably, far too many cups every day. With, often, four people in our house we go through coffee at quite a rate. As a result, we end up with a number of these coffee tins which I’ve started saving….

Day 7 – 365 / January 7th 2015 ***Additional image*** Following the atrocity that took place today in Paris, I wanted to create an additional image for my “365” project. An image that reflected the loss of the journalists, artists and policemen who were killed and to show support for the right to a free…

Day 7 – 365 / January 7th 2015 I had a very different image in my mind for Day 7 of my “365” project. In fact, I had already taken the picture this morning in readiness for posting tonight. However, todays’ horrific events in Paris have been hard to shake from my mind. I do not…

Day 6 – 365 / January 6th 2015 Sarah and I have been playing Scrabble against each other since December 2013. We play on our iPhones and iPads, making turns most days. Over the Christmas holidays we enjoyed playing various Scrabble themed games with Bethany and Liam. As we like the word games so much,…
