Much of what is seen today at Mottisfont, is the work and creation of Gilbert and Maud Russell, who brought the house in 1934 from the then owner. They both restored and changed the house. During the WWII Gilbert died and Maude moved to London to work for the admiralty. It is thought offering translationContinue reading “An exhibition at Mottisfont”

Blue Sky!
A nice bright sunny morning combined with a day off has been a rarity in recent times. I had to make the most of it so jumped in the car and drove the short distance to Kingston Lacy, our local National Trust property. February is always busy as it’s “Snowdrop Time”. This year I missedContinue reading “Blue Sky!”
A solo photo of a solo flower
I’ve lost my photography mojo! About the time of the start of Covid I purchased a “Peace Lilly” from the local garden centre, where I typically have breakfast once a week. It out grew the pot and I had to split it. Another couple of years and repeat – I now have 5! So farContinue reading “A solo photo of a solo flower”
Phone/Blog
My posts have slipped from being one every two days to longer intervals. This is not a deliberate decision. I’ve done much less photography this winter, especially film, in fact in the last two months I’ve only shot two rolls – unheard of for me! The weather has been very wet and dull in theseContinue reading “Phone/Blog”
AI and the stupidness of it.
Bolstered by the non-success of my new laptop, I’ve now proceeded to purchase a phone, or is it a camera or a paperweight? The new laptop is up and running, and I’m typing on it now. That seems fine. Of course I can’t switch it on or get to any programmes or do anything usefulContinue reading “AI and the stupidness of it.”
Leake Street Arches
I’ve just come back from a week in London! More about that in other posts, but today I wanted to share a discovery I made. Underneath Waterloo Station runs what could be called an underpass or tunnel, I think actually it’s a road and it’s known as “Leake Street Arches”. It has it’s own websiteContinue reading “Leake Street Arches”
A few more from Ringwood
A post or two ago I shared some photo’s of steam engines and the steam train I came across as I stumbled my way into the Ringwood carnival. Today I thought I’d share a few more, but this time mainly of people – with a couple of exceptions. All of these were taken with anContinue reading “A few more from Ringwood”
Digital: Ringwood Steam
A few days back I found myself working in Ringwood for the day – un-usual enough. Then there was a loud – steam like whistle! Interesting I thought! Outside there was a track running down the street. Before long, there was a genuine steam engine running up and down on it. “Merlin” bore the “CarnivalContinue reading “Digital: Ringwood Steam”
Digital: The Coronation
I’ve had a three day break over the weekend. Saturday the weather was wet and horrible. I watched the coronation on TV. Yesterday the weather was actually quite nice, and we had our own garden party after a fashion, which was very enjoyable, and most of us consumed far too much alcohol. Today the weatherContinue reading “Digital: The Coronation”
Digital: A bit more street!
Street photography doesn’t come naturally to me. I’d like it too, but I feel I need much more practice and nerve. I think I’m slowly getting better than I used to be, maybe this summer I’ll make some better progress. These images were mostly made on a cheap, cheerful and old Panasonic bridge camera. IContinue reading “Digital: A bit more street!”
