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!

Garden Renovations and B'day Flight!

 So this Saturday, following an uber wet Friday, why is it always wet on my day off, Dad and I joined Julia and James and their friend Dima for more garden works @ Chez Bailey. Dima spent the day moving the breeze blocks from the front of the house to the back and as we had James's 30th birthday flight in the afternoon Julia and I set to painting their neighbours garage wall that backs onto their garden ready for some batons and Dad and James tidied up the appalling brickwork on the garage extension done by the previous owners.

Then before 2pm we headed up to Rochester Airport armed with the cameras for James's 30th birthday flight from last year!

So here is a quick collage of some images off the 77D which I took along with the Sigma 18-250mm lens having lent my Dad the Big Gun 70-300mm Tamron lens. James thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got to fly the plane himself for the majority of the trip which he was pleased with and it had been something I particularly looked out for in the flight experience descriptions rather than it just being a flight trip.

And Sunday morning saw a nice chap from a local removal firm come and take away the old bricks in the garage, so it's all "bang tidy" now.

So pleased to have gotten them taken away after failing to find anyone interested in collecting them as free hardcore on the local Facebook page and then messaging a local chap only to be ignored. You snooze you lose mate!
