Gary and Ginger Allman enjoying a campfire at Berry Bend Campground in November 2010

Berry Bend Campfire – We cheated on the fire. We didn’t want to spend a lot of time and energy gathering and cutting wood, so we bought some logs for $4 and I split them.

Sitting in the front seat – Back to work for me today, so Ginger has had to keep herself entertained. After work, we went for a walk along the beach. As neither of us took a Self-portrait during the day we did a mini-shoot in the car when we got back to the flat. 2

Doing the American tourist thing — Our route back from Birmingham took us near Stonehenge, at which point Ginger declared “Rebbie will never forgive me if I don’t go see it.”

A special event – Gary and Ginger get engaged – Okay I admit it, this isn’t a special picture in the photographic sense, but it isn’t every day you get engaged.
