Late submission from Bristol Boy

Well members of the 'Text Family' are slowly waking up. Bristol Boy has submitted a wee effort : ) by text on the Friday Challenge...

Crime Solved!
Glove belonged to Michael Jackson so the banana killer was Bubbles!

One could consider this response as a mini adventure.

More Winter Sunshine...

This one is from another HLF building site Newstead Abbey, Nottinghamshire.

Late entry for the Friday Challenge...

The Text Family are storming in with creativity. Lampy from over at Way out West has posted his response to the crime scene…

“Hmm,“ said Inspector Truscott pensively, “there’s not much to go on here, but from the visible evidence our perp is a one-handed vegan, probably from Fair-Isle or one of the Western Isles. Unless I am very much mistaken, she, for it is a glove pattern only worn by women, will be heading out of town on the first train north. Quick, to the railway station, full blues and two’s."

I think this could be the start of something beautiful. If you like his style check out his blog at:

A Friday Challenge...

I’m a bit of a keen mobile phone ‘texter’ to say the least and have even been know to coin the phrase ‘My Text Family’ about those whom I speak regularly to via text. I won’t bang on just now why I think text, photo messaging and mobile video are so fantastic but suffice to say I'm way more creative using my phone as it’s always with me and my play pals are always one text away!

So over the last few weeks I’ve have started to post daily photographs to the ‘Text Family’, so today’s photograph is a bit of a challenge to the family. The ‘Text Family’ got the image plus the following instruction:

Well my dears, today’s picture I think is a Crime Scene. Death by banana, with the only evidences the skin and a woolly glove. Free feel to write a humorous short story of death. Answers by email or text!

The first one off the mark was Surfing Babe in less than 15 minutes, so her winning honor is that her short text story gets posted tonight! Will keep you posted re. the rest of the family’s responses.

Surf Babe’s text story…
Banana eats man. Revenge Attack – for all bananas eaten by man. Naked banana stuffed, can’t eat glove. Beware of the naked killer banana!



The "Wanted Banana Poster" has been kindly donanted by Ruby from Living in Bury St Edmunds. Check out her blog for her new digital adventures in a small southern town.

Winter Sunsets...

If you check out the blog over the next few weeks you will begin to see I have a bit of a thing about naked trees and sunsets. This one is from Wollaton Hall, Nottingham that is currently a historic building site funded by HLF.

So where is my home?

Home is were you begin a journey but also your destination. Its definition may change as you change. Home may not be your place of abode. It may not be the physical structure in which you live. Perhaps it's a place you mentally retreat to, a childhood dream, a sight, smell, or touch. An urban leap from the sprawling metropolis. A wholesome, hearty retreat. In baseball, a home run is returning to where you started. Just click those ruby slippers and repeat - 'there's no place like home, there's no place like home' and you're back where you belong. No matter how far away you roam, home is what you carry inside yourself, an invisible umbilical cord you cannot cut, a dream, aspiration, that formulates who you are. It's what you make of it that counts.

A small start...

Well, let's introduce you to my world. Here's the view that I finished work to this evening. As some of you will notice it's a wee image and that's because I had to shoot it on my phone camera.
