CLICK ON ANY IMAGE IN EACH GROUP OF PHOTOS TO ACCESS ENLARGED GALLERIES When conversing with Flo about a set of photographs made at Lindum House in Newark some years ago, she told me that they were taken when she was a little older than I had thought. I then realised that I should haveContinue reading “In Lindum House Garden”

The Chinese Lantern
CLICK ON ANY OF THE GROUPED IMAGES TO ACCESS GALLERIES Today I found another batch of colour negatives, previously presumed lost. These are of Becky and Flo at Lindum House in Newark during the summer of 2002. Flo played tennis with a somewhat reluctant Paddy, the dog. She also ran about andContinue reading “The Chinese Lantern”
Waiting For A Bus
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE OR TO ACCESS GALLERY This afternoon, Jackie drove us around the forest. On the outskirts of Brockenhurst a troop of cattle exercised their right to hold up the traffic. Over Lymington River a swing has been suspended from a tree bearing a lengthy lichen-laden limb kept out of the waterContinue reading “Waiting For A Bus”
Tree House Construction Manual
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE. REPEAT AS REQUIRED The weather in Newark in June 1992 was drier than it is at the moment. Today I therefore scanned a batch of colour negatives produced during that month. The erection of a rather splendid tree house in a false acacia tree in the garden of Lindum HouseContinue reading “Tree House Construction Manual”
The Swinging Rat Pack
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE. REPEAT IF REQUIRED. An overnight thunderstorm had freshened the garden and reduced the temperature to a degree that Jackie could continue weeding, hacking, and planting; and I was able to enjoy the game of wandering around seeking her piles of garden waste for me to gather up and transfer to theContinue reading “The Swinging Rat Pack”
Memorable Fitzrovians
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE. THOSE IN GROUPS ACCESS GALLERIES THAT CAN BE VIEWED FULL SIZE. Today I scanned another dozen colour slides from July 2004. The first three are of Flo getting to grips with the swing suspended from a false acacia tree in the garden at Lindum House. The others are the nextContinue reading “Memorable Fitzrovians”
Feeding The Birds
CLICK ON SMALLER CLUSTERED IMAGES TO ACCESS LARGER GALLERIES. Mat arrived with Poppy this morning. Our granddaughter was walking about and talking scribble. She was straight into toys. She likes playing with the mice; but was soon absorbed with the seal box and its fish contents, making lots of cooing noises. Stopping for beverages atContinue reading “Feeding The Birds”
No Resolution
CLICK ON SMALLER IMAGES TO ACCESS LARGE GALLERIES. THESE CAN BE FURTHER ENLARGED This morning Aaron began taking dead branches out of the cypress tree. As can be seen, there is still much colour in the garden. I photographed him and made him an A4 print which I cannot upload, receiving the same message as yesterday.Continue reading “No Resolution”
The Prop
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE. REPEAT IF REQUIRED. On another recuperating day, I scanned a batch of colour negatives from a French holiday in the autumn of 1985. Here Becky is first amused, then contemplative, in the garden of the gite. Once Sam had given her a push, Louisa was proud to work the swing on her own. MostContinue reading “The Prop”
A Walk In The Park
Although my virus has definitely improved, it is still taking a while to clear my head, so, when I set out this morning to scan another batch of Elizabeth’s returned prints, I couldn’t face sorting them, so, instead, scanned a group of carefully catalogued colour slides from March 1973. On a walk in Westminster’s St James’sContinue reading “A Walk In The Park”
