They Stole my Petrol 1

Last Sunday I got into my car to drive to church. But I only got to the end of the road before the car stopped and refused to start again. At the time I assumed the fuel pump had broken, but after phoning Mike the mechanic I checked the fuel line and discovered that the ...

Stinking Cold 1

Well, I’ve not been out taking photos much recently because I’ve had two colds – the first of which I got in Scotland, the second I got back here. Which is pretty grim. And I’ve been busy working on a website for a customer which I finally got done last night (Hooray!). Hopefully I will ...

High Speed Photography

Put on by the Nexus Academy of Music Ministry, it was the students’ first chance to show what they’ve been learning over the last few months, and after seeing this performance I can’t wait to see what they’ll be like by ...
