1999 plus 10

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

I had a slightly odd experience shopping on New Years Eve 1999.  I was visiting some friends for a new years party and needed supplies so I nipped round to the local superstore, at the time it was a Co-Op.  It was pretty late in the day and the first thing I remember was that […]

Snowfall

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

First I knew of the latest snow in Liverpool was the announcement on the news that Liverpool Airport was closed. A quick shot of the snow on the tree in my back garden taken from a window so I didn’t have to go out in it.  Taken without flash, camera clamped to the window frame […]
