A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Painting & Leeds Castle Fireworks 2021

 

So Saturday saw me up at Julia and James's to help start painting the wood panelling that they recently fitted - well on one side of the fireplace at least anyway!

Two coats of a primer "wash" later and it was home for lunch and to get ready for James to drop us off at Leeds Castle for this year's firework extravaganza. Wow - so good to be back, fireworks were awesome, music somewhat less so but then as we have been going for quite a few years now we've become quite the critics when it comes to these annual shows. Space was this year's theme and the music selection was quite vague at times, any song with some sort of loose association to space, moon et al in either the titles or the lyrics obviously made it a contender to be played. And there was me thinking more along the lines of Holst - The Planets!

Still it was a good end to the day, the drop off and pick up at the local hotel made getting in and out very easy - parking is a nightmare on these evenings, as we walked down the driveway it was just a sea of red lights! We've also misplaced the car before now, totally unsure of where exactly it was parked ;-)

These were just a few pics snapped on the phone, we'd decided not to try and photograph it properly this year, too much faff given the current Covid-19 situation still and to be honest it gets uber chilly just sitting around for hours waiting for it to get dark. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt!
