A colourful relief of a buddha obscured by electrical cables

I love it when children's play parks become a back door for artists to make public art without the pomposity

'The Remarkable Pinwill Sisters'

The true story of three late Victorian women who broke the mould and became professional ecclesiastical woodcarvers. The book has won two awards, one in Devon and the other in Cornwall.

Have a look at my website and if you are intrigued, do order the book. It's also available from independent bookshops listed on the website, or order through your local one.

The cover of a book entitled From 'Lady Woodcarvers' to Professionals: The Remarkable Pinwill Sisters. It features a semi-kneeling praying angel that forms the support for an altar rail at Plympton St Mary, Devon.

Have you ever visited Wendron Church?

I love my (shamefully under-utilised) world touring Thorn Nomad bicycle.
This is what happens to the tyres riding out-bush after a rain squall.

A bicycle resting on a pedal. The tyres coated in sticky red mud on a red dirt track. To the left Winnie-dog looks on.

Yes! Tiny yet magnificent. We need more things like this...

Roshnara was my grandfather Jocks' boat. After returning from India Jock my grandmother and Jocks 'batman' cruised around the coast of Ireland.

My grandmother some years before she died told me that Roshnara was later used in the Dunkirk evacuation. After that she heard Roshnara was left a rotting hulk in a forgotten estuary.

Also on that page are those beautiful quatrains of Omar Khayyam,

Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.

With Earth's first Clay They did the Last Man knead,
And then of the Last Harvest sow'd the Seed:
Yea, the first Morning of Creation wrote
What the Last Dawn of Reckoning shall read.

The back page of one of my old notebooks. Omar Khayyam stanzas accompany a photo of a motor vessel labelled Roshnara - Ireland.

some dangerous plants!

Fujisan really does look like it is on another plain

Wow, thanks :)
I'd love that. Not for a long while I suspect.

Thanks for that. To be honest I have a perfectly wonderful bicycle. Maybe some day I will fly to Japan and buy one to pedal around on a for a few months. Wouldn't that be great?

Things that go through my head while out cycling, "You slaaaag, No you slaaaaag, you slag, you slaaag, shut it you slaag.
Hiya. Can I have a large cod and chips, two battered sausage, chicken and mushroom pie, can of Shandy Bass and a cherry Tango."

That is my awesome Thorn bicycle leaning against a Slag St sign

Winnie dog back when she lived by the beach.

A staff dog trotting along the beach past a sea-urchin. The sand is wet and her reflection can be seen below her

You just reminded me I was going to take a snap of our local bike racks, they are hilariously useless.

That's really impressive.

This is a lovely shot. It makes me want to idle my way down a Copenhagen street on a late summer afternoon. I can hear my bicycle tick ticking as I trundle it down the pavement.

Anybody in Copenhagen fancy swapping houses with me for a bit? We have dust, flies and sun that will burn your skin so hard it mutates the DNA....
