Prelude to ‘Along the Wall’

Here we go, the start of a very long adventure.

Fiona has kindly set the prelude to the images we currently have of the course of the wall. Yes we are aware of the photographic jump between Wallsend/Tynemouth and Hexham, but that will be rectified as soon as we can get into Newcastle. The images also stop at Wall Town but as this is an on going project we trust that you will forgive the omissions for the time being. I hope you enjoy the video and welcome your thoughts!

That was a bit hairy!

The school run this morning was no fun at all. Heavy rain before midnight followed by a sudden drop in temperature led to a severe frost and black ice. Gritters hadn’t been dispatched because of the wet weather and the roads were in a treacherous condition. Cars slithered and slid, back wheels spinning. Fortunately everyone was very sensible, no one went above 30mph on the country roads.  Even the traffic on the A69 crawled along at 50mph on the dual carriage way section towards Hexham.

Today was the 10 year olds first day back at school following the Christmas holidays. He was keen to get back, eager to compare notes with his friends over presents. J went back yesterday and has settled in to school life relatively easily. He goes swimming today with his school so that should help maintain his momentum.

I’m back to work. Dividing my time between creating new images for spring, composing ‘Along the Wall’ and preparing a course for beginners in composition which I intend to have up and running soon. Starting to feel productive again after the holiday period and have to admit I’m ready for it.
