My daughter, slightly grubby, on the beach back in 1993. These days we wave her off to work four days a week to spend 12 hours tending residents on the nursing floor of a care home. Looking back and forward to happier days.

Happier days when we could have an F&C meet up with our friends, take some photos, have a pint in the beer tent, then cram ourselves into a railway carriage on a hot sunny afternoon for a bit of a laugh. May such times return soon. Canon EOS 30v, EF 28-135 IS on Kodak Ektachrome 100.

I usually visit Mablethorpe (my childhood seaside haunt) for a day-trip each September. I'm hoping that the lock-down and travel restrictions will be reduced enough to allow me to do so again this year too.
