Here’s a quick shot of my new ‘porthole’, but following some judicious cleaning and polishing. . . I’ve still no idea what it is / what to do with it, but it now looks so lovely and shiny that it may well just remain on show as a bizarre talking-point / ornament.

My good friend RT sent me the following photo this weekend, taken on her travels. . .
No idea where it was shot, but I really like it! It goes well with the other signs I’ve found with my name on, such as the one on this post, and the following photo, which was sent to [...]

So last weekend, Navaro played at the Cromer Folk Festival, supporting Fairport Convention.
The whole weekend was fabulous, with lovely seaside weather, a wonderful period venue, helpful staff, great sound – an overall great gig. Here’s a photo taken by the resident photographer of the event, the excellent Chris Gill:
The gig was filmed, and a live feed [...]

My friend/playing partner Gerald Roberts has just told me that his new CD of tunes ‘Musician for a Friend’ is now available on the iTunes store.
Visit it, put his name into the search field and up they pop – I really recommend having a listen, more importantly, buying them to make him rich and famous!
Now that’s what I call a wheel hub!

I was walking home the other day when I came across the following lorry wheel hub, lying in the verge. I find car wheel hubs (normally sorry-looking, broken, plastic affairs) all the time, but had never seen anything like this! Not only is it really large, but it’s made of solid stainless steel and weighs [...]

I was mooching around IKEA the other day (like one does!]) when I came across the following candlestick, reduced from £8 odd to only £2.40!

I’ve finally got around to putting my shed (the extremely small and cluttered place where I spend a lot of my time, making stuff and generally hiding from the world) onto shedblog.com.
I’ve been meaning to do this but was finally forced into doing it so I could enter the shed into their fantastic ’Shed of the Year’ [...]
