A full moon far outshines the streetlamp in lighting the road that runs through our little hamlet.

The Brame

The River Brame flows quickly over its rocky bed up in the woods near the village of Thiat.
Before the baling

Cee’s latest Black & White Photo Challenge looks for some wavy or squiggly lines.
This image was captured about half a mile from our house, just after the first haymaking of the year had seen the grass cut, but not yet baled. Driving past in the car, I couldn’t help but notice the strong (but, crucially, not straight) leading lines in this field. We stopped, I jumped out and took the original photograph with my iPhone 7.
Memento Mori
Posted on December 20, 2019
In the village of Rancon there is to be found one of comparatively few remaining ‘Lanternes des Morts’. These were memorials to the dead, quite common in medieval times. In this sense such a Lanterne could be described as a memento mori – thereby meeting the theme of ‘two Ms’ for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week.
A working environment

Back to a previous life this week for Cee’s Black $ White Photo Challenge with the topic of Doors and Drawers.
This was my office on the twenty-third floor of the headquarters of the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, where I spent the last – and best – ten years of my working life. That’s the door on the right and obviously those are drawers underneath the desktop.
What I can’t get over is how tidy it was. My desk at home is an absolute tip.
On the tiles
Posted on November 22, 2019
It’s a few years ago now, but our builders asked if, as a temporary measure, they could leave a pallet stacked with old rooftiles outside our barn.
‘Of course not’, we said. ‘Just collect them when you’re ready’, we said.
They’re not ready.
