Walking around our village. The idea for a bird feeder snowman came from the Wild Britain Facebook page.

Jules Allen: Double Up at Leica Gallery
If you are in NYC at some point until January 5th, highly recommended is the current photography exhibition at the Leica Gallery.
Jules Allen – Double-Up features photos taken at Gleason’s Boxing Gym in the mid-80s. Gorgeous, grainy, smoky, black and white photos that evoke a world you feel privileged to get a glimpse of.
Some of my faves:
Reminded me of how much my dad loved to watch boxing.
Steve was blown away by the depth of field in the photos, commenting how difficult it is to do even a mediocre attempt at something similar in photoshop.
Also on show in the Oskar Barnack Room find German and Austrian Photography including photos from Freud’s office!
Today was the second time I’ve been to the Leica Gallery - both times what was on offer was superb.

The Forbidden Corner
The Forbidden Corner is great for a rough and tumble nearly 2-year-old, also for a 9-year-old but not so much for the 5-year-old who is afraid of water and the dark. Also, Tom got me good at the water feature at the end by asking me to read something.

Retro Royal Knees Up in Hartlepool
Featuring Big Boy Bloater and The Puppini Sisters on 2 June 2012. Thanks to Phil for thinking of me and Clare and co. for keeping me company. Asda kicked ass for cheap fleece blankets that made great forts and juice boxes…so did the guy who turned the leaflet into airplanes and danced with all the young ladies.
