Bus ride home, after the pub Long shadows over Mill Lane, West Hampstead

Bus ride home, after the pub

Hmm.. I can’t think why this picture is so out of focus except for the clue in the caption I gave it. Ten years on and I have no idea which bus, where it was going or where I’d been.

471a Finchley Road

Another messy shot of my bedroom. It wasn't quite as purple as this in real life….or was it?

Portobello Road, W10

Another lunchtime, another prowl round the area.

Shops at the top of Finchley Road Apple, when should I pick it?

Shops at the top of Finchley Road

Not a particularly inspiring shot this one, though the pink hyacinths in the chimney pot look unseasonally in bloom.

Apple, when should I pick it?

The Test Centre at Hendon

The Star, Steyning

This is one of four pubs in Steyning and always did a stonking good lunch for the money. One of the most sought after tables was the one depicted in this picture, a cosy two-seater by the window…I don’t think I realised until I came to take this picture that the legend depicted in the beams above the table said ‘Lover’s Nook’. When I did though, it seemed fairly incongruous with the rather melancholy chap sitting on his own underneath it. Unfortunately the photo was such a success with people that I removed it from the album to make reproductions and now it has disappeared…

No, I haven’t taken my test yet – just practicing

Pride Carnival, Brighton Dave bringing the cat in after a few photos in the dark

Pride Carnival, Brighton

Gay Pride in Brighton, and this man’s silver pants are a sight to behold whichever side you bat for. A weekend in Sussex was never complete without a shopping trip into Brighton for me, and on this particular Saturday we got even more Brighton for our money than usual.

Matthew Womersley, Steyning

This is my brother Matthew, making himself comfortable in an inflatable chair. Matt had been getting a few tummy aches and problems with his digestion this year but hadn’t thought too much about it until someone finally persuaded him he should go to the doctor. They took the problem a bit more seriously and referred him to a specialist who carried out a colonoscopy on him and discovered that he had some blockages and would need surgery to investigate whether they were going to be a serious problem or not.
