Re: Ray's Photos
Still 1989, mostly early autumn late summer: lurking in London in Part one and out and about around Bristol and the Forest of Dean after that

Re: Ray's Photos
A short and sudden sojourn in 2021, with a few from last month, which was as sodden and gloomy as February usually is in south-west England, and also pretty damn cold. And both my cameras were playing silly buggers (get your excuses in early, lad)

Re: Ray's Photos
Part Four
Reflected Glory
More old and new in the City of London
Complimentary
The only international I ever attended, a freebie for sub-editing a book on tactics for Charles someone-or-other, an FA bigwig and promoter of Direct Play, which was based on a complete misunderstanding of statistics. Didn't have the heart to point that out, just got on with it.
Daylight
Sobering to thing that, 30+ years on, I still have everything in that picture (including the hibiscus!) save for that rather handsome frosted glass vase.
Cote D'Azur
Tropical Hot Dog Night
Wow, Man, the Textures
More very soon (I hope and trust)
