Walking in the Winter?? wonderland

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Guthlac

I know I know I’m banging on about the weather but it was genuinely surreal walking through my local park this morning. On the ground was a slushy mess and the trees were covered in the same mess. It was … Continue reading →

Slush

Phew… what a difference a day makes

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Guthlac

Well I think this proves that one should keep one’s mouth shut. Yesterday my only solace was that it wasn’t snowing. Today I don’t even have that. This is all caused by high pressure over Norway which is happily sucking … Continue reading →

Glum old day….at least it has stopped snowing.

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Guthlac

Well it is not quite as bad as this, but never let the truth get in the way of a blog entry. Oh photography and truth there is a murky bog into which I don’t want to stray. But it … Continue reading →

Where do ideas come from? The hunt for the infinite monkey

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Guthlac
