Diary

I have my Diary for the last year at Junior School and I have been transcribing it on and off.

The Diary was a "project". Each Friday we had to sit down in class and fill them in for that week and our Form Teacher, Mr. Widdowson, would take them and read them - you can just see his red tick on the bottom of the left hand page. I guess he must have been quite amused to read them?

I realised recently that a scan of the actual document is probably much more interesting and I have just completed the first 20 images - this is one of them. I have now uploaded them all to my Flickr pages

This photo has to be displayed everywhere ! The colours were magnificent and the light exceptional - just a bit of sharpening with the software.

On Remembrance Day. The drove road going up towards Tower Farms from the West Somerset Railway.

I'm only jealous - don't think I'm capable of this sort of thing any more. Maybe I never was ?

Photo taken on the way up from Rams Coombe to the road that goes from Crowcombe across the Quantocks down to Over and Nether Stowey. This track comes out near Crowcombe Park Gate.

We spent a pleasant 90 minutes walking from Dead Woman's Ditch towards Crowcombe Park Gate and back - the harder walk was a week later up a 1 in 4 road.

This is a nice Autumn shot looking roughly South West from the tops.

But not as bad as the big milk lorry (that picks up milk from a local farm) or the bus that I once met on a blind bend on a road this narrow.

An interesting find on a walk towards the Quantocks. Thought for a second that I'd had a Doctor Who moment and been zapped across the pond.
