April 2012's Blog-I'm no April Fool!

Hullo There!
Did you get 'April fooled' yesterday-I did'nt- thankfully!
It seems the morning press had there usual 'suspect' stories such as a new 'driverless car'!I can remember one year there was an ad for 'rainbow coloured' paint!I wonder how many folks were actually 'fooled' by it-the only colour visable down B&Q was red-as in faces!Another year there was news of a spaggetti farm in Norfolk-it was actually featured on BBC's 'Nationwide' programme.
I wonder what will be 'passed off' as genuine next year-watch this space.!

MARCH ing Into Spring 2012.

Hullo There!
Welcome to the March 2012 Blog.
Last year we had that very mild October and at the moment we seem to be having a rather mild late winter-in fact my garden is ablaze with colour from some early flowers.Even the trees are beginning to 'bring forth' buds-let's hope we don't go back to normal with a 'cold-snap' and find the things looking slightly worse for wear.
On the radio front,the second series of Doctor Who is in full swing(Sundays between 1-05-1.30pm) and next year sees the 50th anniversary of the TV programme-did it really start all those years ago in 1963!Plans are afoot to broadcast our third series next year to tie-in with the BBC tv series-watch this space!
From April(in place of the good doctor)we bring you 12 episodes of classic Sherlock Holmes stories,starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce-the original and some say the best!
Until next time-

February's Blog for 2012.

Hullo There!
As I sit here putting this blog together the snow has arrived!
I guess it had to come sometime this winter and one can expect having to start wearing the old green wellies to get out and about.
Talking about wellies-can you remember as a youngster having 'chaffed' shins,due to the things constantly rubbing against them,that is until you worked out that long socks were required to counteract the effect.
I remember as a child going to Ingram Road school during a bad winter and having to wear the things,only to find that some discomfort at the toes of one welly was due to one of those square pencils(remember them?) somehow getting in there.It still remains a mystery even today how it found its way down there.
Back to the weather now and the garden has turned white,so no chance of venturing out there today!

Happy 2012.January's Blog.

Hullo There!
I can't believe that it's a year since I broke my right shoulder-still have a bit of a 'twinge' now and again!
Did you have a good Christmas? Mine was very quiet-in fact so quiet that due to lack of visitors,it's a wonder the front door did'nt heal up!I guess sometimes one just needs a bit of peace and quiet-a time to reflect on the past year and by the same token look forward and plan the year ahead.My main resolution for 2012 is to spend more time 'smelling the roses'-in other words just taking time out now and again to 'chill' and stop what ever I am doing.Also,I have decided to get out and about more with my camera and hopefully fill up another as yet blank photo album.I still use 35mm film as I don't really like all things digital and besides I find 'proper' photographs,that is from negatives seem to have a much 'warmer' colour range than something produced on a computer.Call me old fashioned,but I'll keep using my 35mm camera a wee while longer.
Hope you have a great 2012!
