These are a piece of protective clothing which is a must for anybody who ventures off track and in the rough terrain where you are walking and crawling through such items as brush, brackens, and rough undergrowth.
Website Update No2 11/01/10
Well after banging away virtually for the wole of the past week, I am now happy to say that the majority of the site has been updated and is complete, this being with the exception of the gallery which I hope to be working on towards the end of next week or early the week after. It has been a very hard slog but long over due, sorry about that. The way I have now arranged my schedule and time management system for this years work I am hoping that I will be able to continually update all the pages as and when there is anything to report or show you. Many thanks for patients in putting up with me and if you have any suggestion to make regarding my site, please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

HELP BIRDS in SNOW - 09/01/10
I am appealing to you all out there to not foreget our small feathered friends, our garden and woodland birds during this very cold and snowy spell. In addition to the usual food you may already put out for them please put the out-of-date scraps out as well. This may include such items as cheese, ham, sausage, bacon and of course fruit. All of this will help them immensely, especially the more fatty foods. Thank you.
Web Site - 04 ~ 09/01/10
This week I have putting in some really long hours amending various pages on my web site for 2010 and what we have in store for you all. The first page to be completed is the "Questions" page, however I will be continuing to complete and update other pages over the next few days, honest!! In between the many hours I have put in, I have also managed to sneak out and get some shots of the local wildlife in the snow, along with some very nice and rare snowy landscapes.
Red Foxes - 05/01/10
Today at around 8.30am we had around 6inches of fresh snow so I decided to go out and see if I could get my newly found fox playing around in the toadys snow. I could find their footprint along with other signs!! but no fox. To avoid the day being a total wast I then decided to get some really grey and wintery snowy shots showing there was plenty more to come, and yes there was, it came down later.
No 1 Newsletter - 02/01/10.
Prepare my first newsletter of the year, this will be emailed out during week commencing 04/01/10.
Accounts & Paperwork!!! - 30/12/09 ~ 04/01/10.
Throughout this period Carol and I had the boring task of completing our accounts for dispatching to my accountant, what a very un glamorous was to spend the New Year Period, however it has to be done and now it is!!
Christmas Break - 24 ~ 28/12/09.
Late on the 24th Carol and I went off to spend Christmas with my son and his family, including a 3yr old grandson, it was brilliant.
Red Foxes - 20 ~ 24/12/09.
During the week leading up to Christmas you may recall we had, for the first time in a long time, heavy falls of snow. Naturally I took the opportunity of this weather to get out and get some snowy photo's. My highlight was to see directly infront of my drive gates, two young foxes - amazing. The following I went out, tracked their footprints and found their set, since this find I have fed them and been rewarded with some brilliant images of foxes playing in the snow.
Adobe Elements Course - 14/12/09.
As quite a number of you already know, I produce two courses on every Monday to teach "Adobe Elements V7", well this finished for christmas on Monday the 14/12/09 with the majority of both courses coming together for a full 3 course Christmas lunch. It was excellent - but fattening!!
Craft Fair - 06/12/09.
We attended a large craft fair which was held in the ballroom of the Adephi Hotel, Liverpool. It was an amazing experience, we had a could display of pictures and my "One 2 One" courses and workshops sold extremely well. Over the festive period Carol and i have decided to attend some of the large country type craft fairs. Naturally we will keep you informed about these well before they happen.
BLOG Launch - 13/11/09
