I am still waiting for a clear and crisp day (I was hoping for one in November but I didn’t notice one) so that I can go and get a better photo of the TV masts than this one. (Click on the image to see it on flickr.) I went out today, well into December,…

Yesterday I was asked if I had any wintery photos suitable for the @Pace email newsletter. I gave them links to several of my photos from last year including the one on the right. You can click on the image to see larger sizes on Flickr. We have not had much winter yet, at least…

It looks as though more primary authorities (City Councils, District Councils etc.) are switching to the newer version of Public Access provided by iDox. This means that more groups associated with them can make use of my planning applications website. The latest one I have added is Edinburgh City Council. For some reason it looks…

A few months back I moved the genealogy web application to a new site on marfell.org. This was partly to indicate that the site was not to be thought of as mine (even though it is) but it allowed me to then look at doing a complete rehash of this site. Soon after that I…

In the Spring I saw Goosander chicks (you can see them here on flickr) but since that time I have not seen any male Goosanders until just the other day (27th Nov) on the Leeds Liverpool canal at Baildon. Does anyone know where the males go for the Summer?

On Thurs 24th November, Erica, Polly and I met up for lunch in Saltaire. Before having our own lunch in The Hub I scrounged some bread from there and we fed the ducks on the canal. Most of the ducks and seegulls squabbled amongst themselves over the bread but one in particular was either very…
