The Royal Bath and West show starts on Wednesday and I’m looking forward to the return of French ornithologist Christian Moullec.
This is Christian flying low over the arena last year followed by a flock of geese that believe he’s their Dad.
I think he’s bringing his Grey Cranes this year.

Remember those days in the 1970s when you could get a fresh cooked breakfast with toast and marmalade on the train to
And train ticket cost less than the microwave breakfast does today, and they still had Gollywogs on the Robertson marmalade.

I always carry a small digital camera, and most of the recent pictures on this site were taken with a Fuji E900.
When I was in our cellar yesterday I spotted a small toad, using just this little £139.99 camera I snapped this picture.
The results are well up to what I would expect from £3000 worth of DSLR.

This photo (though technically rubbish) deserves to be included as Nutella fans around the world will be thrilled to see that it is now available in 5kg pots. We saw them in the window of a pancake place in Rome and couldn't walk past without taking a photo.

Well I was lucky enough to have tea with Miss Mirren in her dressing room at the Bath Theatre Royal some time ago.

I Photographed Rufus Sewell when he was at the Bath Theatre Royal, and was surrounded by the female staff members wanting to see the pictures when I returned.
I don’t think that anybody I have photographed has caused the same reaction from colleagues.
