I write about my life: experience, memories and some photography.

At last! I’ve caught up. We spent five days in Florence in November. The weather in the UK was miserable but we got sunny days and 20 degree plus warmth and on our last day we enjoyed an alfresco lunch…

Looking up
With some trepidation I attended a Cambridge Photography Club Critique group. The idea is you submit photos with a theme and others present critique them. It turns out to be a fairly gentle experience but the comments given are well…

Photos of the month: October 2024
This is a special photo for two reasons. Firstly it’s one of the first I took with my new Sony RX1000 VII. It’s a powerful pocket camera and I’ve bought it to fill the gap between my DSLR and my…

Keep stretching (Dupuytrens 4)
It’s a double header when I visit Addenbrookes again two weeks after my op. First it’s back to the plastic surgery unit for Sophia to remove my cast and tell me it’s no longer needed. Hallelujah! It seems like I…

Two weeks with a cast (Dupuytrens 3)
