This is from the Ford production line during the 1970's-80's. All the parts are from the Ford Capri and the guys on the line used to knock em up when the supervisors weren't looking!

Here's one of Barcelona's many 'characters'. Following one of his mates wandering into a group of pissed up England fans whilst wearing a Deuchsland vest, this bloke went and picked up one of the cans of San Miguel been thrown and started drinking it. So as you do, we gave him a bottle of Smirnoff - he was pretty pleased with his present it was fair to say.

I walked up the train past this interesting looking guy and sat down behind him. A dapper looking gent, properly attired, but setting his outfit off perfectly with a pair of tortoiseshell Wayfarers. I wished I had managed to snap a pic walking past but I'm just not brazen enough for that. Asking him isn't exactly my steez either so that was out. I thought I had missed my chance until I noticed I could see him from my chair. Looking at him, and at what he could see through the window through his glasses, I wondered where he was going today, and what he had seen through those glasses over the years.

The first picture was taken of the sunrise from the villa in the hills close to Santa Gertrudis in Central Ibiza. The villa is isolated so the silence was golden and the picture was taken after a villa party so it was the calm after the storm. It was a beautiful morning made even better by the hot air balloon which had just taken off not far from us.
The second picture is of the sunset at Benirras beach in the north of Ibiza. This is a secluded bay which is very popular with hippies, especially on a Sunday evening which is famous for impromptu drumming as the sun goes down. The sunset is amazing and made even better with a Mojito in hand.

These two were taken at Hydro Connect music festival which takes place in the grounds of Inveraray Castle. The first one is the sun setting over the forest, I actually enchanced the sunset on Photoshop, still learning my trade as you can see. The second image is the lasers show from Bloc Party's track, Flux. A fantastic track and hearing it live was probably the hightlight of the weekend.
These were taking at Shawfield Dog Track, Glasgow. A right old fashioned place with plenty character. First two pictures are when the dogs are leaving the traps and the third picture is pretty self explanatory, a lovely cold bottle of Tennants sitting on a wall.

This picture was take just moments (and I do mean moments) before Rosa Lee proposed to me.
Rosa Lee’s ring came in today — we’ll go pick it up as soon as she is back. Mine is still being resized but should get that in the mail directly. In the meantime, I had been wearing the ring that I gave Rosa Lee on our first anniversary as a couple (it looks just like my engagement ring), however, it gave me some sort of flesh wound that got infected so I have to take it off. That’ll teach me for trying to steal her ring.

I guess I have to wait for my own to come in.

Recently went on holiday to have a look round the old World War One memorials and was amazed at the sheer scale of just the British Casualties buried in the Tyne Cot Cemetary. Also had a stroll round some preserved trenches in the Hill 62 area which was interesting but very grim. One of the few moments in my life when I felt genuinelly moved. Got some shots of a ridiculous amount of names of those missing/presumed dead on the Menin Gates at Ypres also. I almost felt guilty for not providing a significant contribution for Queen and country. And even if there was another World War god forbid, I would be far too frightened to go and fight.
My father at the Menin Gates with 65,000 names of dead, missing or presumed dead.
And a cross tribute which a lad of about 7 happily placed down, though his father was clearly upset and overwhelmed by the place itself.

So a whale washed up and died on a beach near my house. It took me 2 or three days to go down and check it out. Seems I missed the whale; or most of it anyway.

Here's a topical picture to coincide with the forthcoming football season. The 'gaffer' looks to have had enough already.
A sneak peak at part of the background set of Coronation Street and how they manage to extend the fictional street beyond the closed set, I think a small section of this regularly appears through that bridge near the bus stop.
A Coronation Street Milk Float. On closer inspection the bottles are not full of milk, but dried paint lining the insides, I have absolutely no idea who the severed foot belongs to.

After not being able to get a taxi to the next local before town, I convinced my mates it was a good idea to walk the countryside way (takes about an hour and half and they weren't impressed).
The Carters Old No.7 picture is just a picture with my feet up at the table. This boozer is my favourite in town. The first I ever went in and the only one that plays decent music from Happy Mondays to the Beatles.

Here are some pics of me climbing Mt Whitney, 14,000+ ft. It took seven hours to get up there and camped at 12,000 ft. Got up at 5am and summited and came back that same day. The main worry was altitude-sickness, bears and summit lightening. Thankfully the weather was great at the top. This was done last August and there was still snow and a large Glacier. Mt Whitney is part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California about a four-hour drive north of Los Angles. Its total height is 14,505 ft. The climb starts at roughly 8,000 ft and then its vertical climb up. The trail is clearly marked out, so although it’s the highest mountain in the continental US it’s far from technical. It took us six months of training to get there but it was worth it.
