Graffiti artist

I spotted this article on the news today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-56243680 Quite recently a Banksy was removed by taking a section of wall from an unsuspecting house in Nottingham. Apparently it was sold for a six-figure sum to a gallery owner in Scotland and is now being restored. Amazing that Banksy artwork has become so valuable –

A host of golden daffodils

I love the poem ‘Daffodils’ by William Wordsworth and I’ve thought of it sometimes during lockdown as it’s very poignant. The poem is lovely and the flowers themselves are so pretty and such a welcome, vibrant colour in the spring – just cheerful without doing or saying anything. Last Sunday I went to the riverside

Privvi at the London Eye

It was slightly embarrassing standing on Westminster Bridge trying to photograph a small box, particularly as it kept falling over and the wind meant I had a 30 second window, now and again, in which it stayed upright. Managed to snap it eventually. Most people on the bridge were walking and chatting or taking photos

Mission complete

I had a really productive afternoon on the Southbank Saturday and the journey was quiet and straight forward. Really relaxed atmosphere on the riverside – people being pretty sensible but enjoying the scenery and walking in the sunshine. Managed to get plenty of promotional photographs for Privvi, which is great. http://www.privvi.co.uk

The power of image

This is one from a set of photographs my son took last summer. His challenge was to take 100 photos of nature during lockdown. He took some amazing photographs (which I may show you at some point) but I think this one is particularly striking because of the colour and the flying bug which was

Coffee cake

Sometimes I like to bake – I find it relaxing and it takes my mind off things in a productive and enjoyable way. We’ve done much more during lockdown which is useful as we’re eating a lot while we’re all at home. Not so great for our teeth and waistlines though. My favourite cake is

London mission

I’ve been very restricted with my Privvi work due to lockdown and Monday’s news means I need to forge ahead quickly. My first task is to run a Facebook promotional series using the lovely images from San Francisco, Tokyo and Sydney. The box I sent to Prague still hasn’t arrived and I may need to

Shorty

This is Bertie my snowboard and it took me 28 years to buy one of my own. I’m very proud of my board but to be honest, It’s a little on the short side and the edge catches sometimes. It’s a powder board and I needed a longer, heavier carving board which I hate to

Could I become ambidextrous?

At some point this year I’m due to lose the use of my right hand for about two months when I have my operation again. At the end of that time hopefully I’ll be able to use it but it depends if it is successful. After all I’ve been through it’s hard to let myself

A bear behind

I wasn’t going to write on the weekend but when I saw this, I had to show you. Even Privvi couldn’t assist anyone with this toilet danger: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56136249 “I got out there and sat down on the toilet and immediately something bit… “ http://www.privvi.co.uk
