Copped Hall, Epping - Apple Day

A sunny afternoon drew large crowds to Copped Hall for the annual Apple Day celebrations.  

Enjoyed the 'home-made' cakes and 'home-grown' apples.  Great to see the progress the wonderful supporters of the renovation of the Hall have made.

The walled garden is always the first place I go to on a sunny day visit.

Dorset Country Show - Part 1

From scurry racing to competitions for pigs, sheep and goats - it was all happening at this year's Dorset County Show.

Truman Brewery - London E1

On a visit to the 'Rough Trade' record store in the Truman Brewery, London, E1, I took the opportunity to shoot some more street art.

Another rainy summer's day

It has certainly been a miserably wet start to Summer 2016.  Still it makes for some pleasant photos of raindrops on leaves and flowers.

Wings and ...........

"Those magnificent men (with) their flying machines".  Great day out at the Wings and Wheels show at North Weald Airfield.   Superb aeronautics and fabulous models on show.

Summer at last (albeit between the heavy downpours)

The wild flowers are thriving in the hot sun and heavy downpours.  Is all this rain a consequence of global warming?  I can't remember such regular downpours in my younger days.

Spring has sprung

Millennium Bridge - Poetry in Motion

The Millennium Bridge never fails to impress me. These shots were taken from the Embankment on the north side of the Thames.  I spotted the wording on the Tate Modern building and thought it was very apt for this photo.
