Well hello from a sunny/rainy Ludlow on a Saturday morning. A couple of my last blogs seem to have disappeared, not sure where , how or why - but that's technology for you.
I have been working on my photography of late and have decided to join an Image library. I don't want my pictures scattered among many so I am putting them exculsively with "Alamy" for the present. It is quite a slow process as Quality control is pretty tough and as I am new to them it takes awhile to get pictures ready and key-worded etc. Everyday there will be more added and I hope to create different genres of photographs that can be used for commercial use. I am also in touch with RHS and they are going to look at a selection of my recent photographs to see if they can use them at all. What I really need now is some good light and I would love a 24mm - 70mm Nikoor lens, cost around £1,000.00 so need to save my pennies up I think.
Ludlow had a terrible May Fair which I blogged about - Waltzer's, Switchbacks etc. It was horrible and turned Ludlow into a noisy, yob filled town for a four days. Now we have returned to normality and the Spring Fair is on this weekend - good music and food is all arranged in the Castle and the market is in full swing in the square. As it is my youngest daughter, Corrine's 22nd birthday on Monday, we are going to celebrate it at the Fair tomorrow. Cassie is bringing cake, bunting and balloons and I am looking forward to a great day. Sadly Alistair is in Spain so wont be able to join in the celebrations, but he has people viewing the house there tomorrow so we will cross our fingers once again. On the gardening front, Alistair tells me that the peas, cougettes, spinach, tomatoes and other veg are growing well and I am looking forward to getting my hands in the soil again at the end of this month when Max has Half term. Here is a picture I took last weekend up on Clee Hill of Max flying his kite. It was freezing and I had earache - but what one puts up with for ones art :-)
