..from me to all of you.

For mark & dom…

…and shortly will be getting fat, therefore it’s not to early to be dropping Christmas present hints…

I WANT THIS ONE

thank-you…

I went to the Penistone Show t’other Saturday, the better half convinced me to enter the Gentleman’s Victoria Sponge contest, and also the Photography show…

…whilst my cake placed nowhere (it was however - delicious…), my photographs took second and third places in the P1 class..

…results here

…w00t me!

These are the (almost) winning pix

2nd place.

3rd place

I won five quid!

This…

…ought to be on here somewhere…

…got rid of the splash page, it was doing nothing for me…

…In recent news, I have a broken wrist, my triquetrum, apparently it’s the second most common fracture of the wrist.

Heavy rain has brought flooding to many parts of Sheffield, this is totally unseasonal and well out of character…

…global warming? …natural cycles? …apocalypse? …who knows..?

Deepcar, Station Rd.

The Little Don has over flowed its banks and the houses there are (were) under severe threat, water is at least 10 feet higher than normal and is at or above ground floor level.

My fiance’s house is (luckily) higher than most on station rd, the cellar is flooded but the house itself is thankfully still dry. water is just under the patio level the shed at the bottom of the garden is under water.

The bridge at Vaughton Hill/Wortley Road is closed and water is running over the top of it.

Her shop at elsecar heritage centre near barnsley is also flooded.

Mill lane has water over the tops of parked cars and boats are being used to rescue residents.

This is now personal.

The (in)famous Sheffield nightclub ‘Gatecrasher one‘, formerly ‘The Republic’ has gone up in smoke…

I spent quite a few blurred nights there in my youth, kinda sad but glad to see it go…

…mixed feelings…
