July 2009	Just got back from two weeks in north Norfolk with literally thousands (well just on 2000) photos. So far I've managed to whittle them down to around 800. I may be some time...
June 2009	Two new galleries, so far, this month covering: Belper and the Cromford Canal in Derbyshire. In addition Tintagel in Cornwall now has its own page.
May 2009	No new pages so far this month, but there are some new photos in the Swanage Railway and Corfe Castle pages. Also two new galleries covering Spinnaker Tower and the Southsea-Ryde Hovercraft service, and some additional photographs in the Portsmouth Town Gallery.
April 2009	A bit late with the update this month, what with Easter and everything, but hopefully it has been worth the wait. Thanks to winning a prize draw run by Mastercard, I was able to spend three days in Prague in the Czech Republic. Not long enough to do it justice, but time enough to discover some of the places that the stag and hen night party goers don't get to. I've also been making it easier for people to share my photos and use them in mash-ups etc. They are all now licensed under the The photographs are now licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License.
March 2009	Three new galleries so far this month: Some lovely pictures of Sidmouth in Devon, Some rather grey ones of Sherborne in Dorset, and a few, equally grey ones of Weymouth also in Dorset.
February 2009	Not much new, so far, this month as I have been busy working on my sister site Antshire, my route for Auran's Trainz Railroad Simulator. However, there are a couple of new galleries: one for the Mill House Cider Museum in Dorset and, somewhat randomly, some photos of the village of Wardington in Oxfordshire.
January 2009	Happy Yew Year everyone! I hope it's a prosperous one too, despite the current financial and economic crises. New so far this month: An extensive page covering various sites in Exeter in Devon, A small gallery of photos taken around Whitten Pond in the New Forest, An article on Lanhydrock House and one on Bodmin Jail, both in Cornwall. Also in Cornwall is a new walk on Stepper Point and there is a new article on Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire More to follow.
December 2008	I don't know whether it is the time of year or the credit crunch, but my photos seem to have taken on a rather monochrome aspect recently. Witness the new Mudeford Gallery, and the new photographs in the Sandbanks Galery. Anyway Christmas is coming and a small selection of Christmas e-cards is now available. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
