No Snow

For the last six years or so we have barely had any snow in York. Today there was a smattering which is already well on the way to melting. Danielle took this photo early today.
 

Escrick

A lovely light emerged as we walked at Escrick last week.

 

Guests

We have started doing AirB&B again, with a flurry of bookings up till Christmas. We had a Mexican couple stay who left us this lovely thankyou note. We could not ask for more.

Manchester Collective

I went with friend Paul to see the consistently brilliant Manchester Collective at my favourite venue; the Howard Assembly Rooms in Leeds. This is the third time I have seen them, always a different line up, always good. This time there were two Indian/Welsh players, two Irish, one South African and one from Côte d'Ivoire.

Photography Group

For over 10 years I have been running a photography group at the Mount School here in York. The head is leaving and I am going to stop doing the group at the end of this term. The talent of the girls is amazing, and this shot is particularly good I think. The theme was perspective. 

Canal Again

It was hard to stop taking photos on the canal walk. These houses at Sowerby Bridge just could not be ignored. 

Canals

I do love walking on the old canals; the industrial past, the beautiful architecture and then strange buildings like this. Not sure whether to title it Needs Some Work, or Seen Better Days.
