England

Drive-by Shot – I drive past this building most days, and I love the way the afternoon light catches it, but I have never had a reason to stop and try and photograph it.

Maisonettes Gary Helped Build — When I left college, I worked for a summer as a labourer on a building site, building these apartments.

Calm Centre (365: 135) – Many years ago I visited this spot at a time when I needed to make an important decision. At that time, I also needed a place and memory to act as a calm reference point to carry with me and help in the years to come. 3 | 2

Bad hair day (365: 134) — Up very late last night (shall we just say it was light when I went to bed), so not a lot of sleep, though I grabbed a few ZZZs in the garden this afternoon.

“Clearing Rain” by Adrian Taunton — limited edition coloured print (64/500), signed in pencil by the artist. 9″ x 13″.

Cley Mill North Norfolk by Adrian Taunton — another limited-edition print.

Painting by Peter Ross — I bought a load of these pictures in the 70s for about £5 each. Acrylic on hardboard.

Walking Home (365: 133) — This may be a strange concept to my American contacts, but I walk to the shops (1,6 miles) and home again. “I haven’t got much to get” turned into 23.5 Lbs (I checked) of excess baggage in my rucksack.

“Say it all” by Simon Bull – A particular favourite, limited edition print. 11/350.

Flickr Light (365: 132) — Until I can find a replacement bulb for my lamp it looks like my monitors are going to be the best source of light around here.

Curry Night (365: 131).

05:57 BST – Good Morning! (365: 130) — Isn’t that a frightening sight to wake up to? It gets my daily picture out of the way nice and early.

Just about Awake (365: 129).

Dinner (365: 128) — 60 grammes of brown rice a day, with 100 grammes of chicken or salmon. My main meal during the week.

Waiting for inspiration (365: 127). I had a late night, and I’m tired. I forgot my 365 days picture but luckily remembered before it got too dark.

Garden wall — This is a Virginia creeper; the leaves turn all shades of red in the autumn. The picture illustrates how tall the fence is around the garden.

Lilies — The lilies are flowering in the pond. I can’t get close enough to take a decent picture of them. 2

Shaving (365: 126).

Memories of India (365: 125) — I haven’t visited India for a couple of years, so it’ll have changed a lot. I just love the country and people; I’d go back tomorrow given the chance.

Grasp — Or should that be ‘Gr-arse-p’? Letting some of my dark side show.

Pearls of Wisdom (365: 124) — from the fridge. All too true.

At the top of the stairs (365: 123) — If I am being very good, twice a day I climb the stairs of the seven-story building opposite my office.

Buildings 28 & 29 — What wonderful names they’ve got at the university! My office is even better, 35A! Aka David Kiddle.

Nightingale Building — The cleverly named building for the School of Nursing. At least it’s not a number.
