Hello All,
Another month nearly over, where does the time go?
No, seriously, where does it go?
I swear that, as soon as you look at anything on the internet, something moves the time on at more than four times normal time. It only took about five minutes (tops) to type this, yet my watch says it took me 22 minutes! Something is going on and I think it’s about time these computer companies came clean. There must be some sort of hypnotic device implanted in all computers so that, as soon as you stare at the screen it gives you the impression that you are working at normal speed, whereas the truth is that you are working in slow motion.
Anyway, this is meant to be a photography blog.
Last week I had plans to go out at the weekend photographing this wonderful county to create stock for the 3d website. The weather, unfortunately, wasn’t kind so I didn’t go anywhere. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this weekend to try again.
This week’s update is for Compton Bishop. This village was visited when on a tour of the area that covered Axbridge, Cross, Compton Bishop, Loxton, Bleadon and Uphill. I’m finding information on Loxton, Bleadon and Uphill hard to come by, so if any of you have some information you’d like to share on any or all of these locations please get in touch. You can either leave a comment (see below) or go to the Somerset3d site and email from there. Any information would be most welcome. There is also the second instalment for Tetbury in Gloucestershire now available to view.
I need to get stuck in to my pending assignments for my Freelance Photographers Course with the BFP. I’ve had so much to do lately that I’m a tad behind with sending in my course work. Memo to self: Must do better.

‘Till next week.

Good day to you all.
A day off for me today. It's half-term here for certain schools and I’m taking my step-daughter and her friend to Bristol Zoo for the day. I’m not sure if there will be any 3d’s as a result, I’ll let you know how I get on next week.
This weeks’ update is for East Woodlands. This tiny hamlet is famous locally for the excellent food available at the Horse & Groom public house. I’m unable to add my own endorsement as I’ve never been able to book a table, but many locals have told me that it is definitely worth the effort.
I’ve also placed online the first of three pages for Tetbury in the Cotswolds. Regular readers will know of my wife’s love of the area. These pictures were taken on the way to visit Bourton-on-the-Water.
This weekend should see me out and about getting some more stock for the Somerset 3d library. I’m not sure where to go at the moment but will make some plans on Friday.
The weather here has been really fresh with a good frost in the morning a beautiful blue skies, lovely cycling weather. Unfortunately 6 punctures in two days took the fun out of biking to work a little bit. I had to walk to work yesterday as I ran out of patches at work. Are hard/solid tyres still available? I’m thinking hard tyres on a full suspension bike should work out, shouldn’t it?
I hit my hand on a door frame yesterday and I think I may have broken a knuckle. I’ve broken one before and recognise the pain. Actually this knuckle is right next to the one I’d broken before. It was a while ago I did the first one and, if my memory serves me right, I don’t think there’s anything that can be done about it. No washing up for me for a while. Bah!
That’s it for this week.
May the wind up your back always be your own.
More next week.

Hello again,
This weeks update is of Cross, a quiet hamlet just west of Axbridge. Topiary lovers will find something of interest there.
As reported on the Somerset3d website there is now a slideshow of my 3d photos on the BBC Somerset website.
On Monday of this week I emailed them asking if they would be willing to put a link to my website on their photos page. They replied with a yes and asked if they could have some photos to create a slideshow presentation. It took most of Monday evening for me and my secretary to agree on the selection of pictures and most of Tuesday to email them to BBC Somerset.
On Wednesday Rebecca from BBC Somerset phoned me and asked me about the website and myself and by the afternoon the photos & information were online for all to see.
Big thanks to Rebecca for creating the slideshow in super quick time. You can go to the relevant page on BBC Somerset by clicking here.
Happy birthday to my Mum for yesterday, looking forward to seeing all the family and friends on Saturday to celebrate my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary.
Finally, as it's Valentines Day, a quote from John Barrymore;
"Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock".
Have a good weekend.

Good morning to you all,
A brisk bike in to work this morning has certainly woken me up.
I'm getting good feedback from those of you who have downloaded the WoollyAnaglyph software. Thanks for getting in touch. It's always good to hear feedback.
This weeks update is of Lovington and, as you can see from the pictures, there isn't much there. The ice cream company of the same name are based there but I could find little else about the place. So if any of you know something about the village and would like to share it please get in touch.
Things are busy here at the moment and my main office work has been complicated by my computer breaking down. So I'm having to use other members computers when they have a break, go to lunch etc. It's a pain but it gets the job done.
I'm also busy getting things organised for my parents 50th wedding anniversary later in the month (15th) so much to do and much to get on with.
Time is that quality of nature which keeps events from happening all at once. Lately it doesn't seem to be working.
Have a good weekend. More next week.
