    📸 September 2023 photo challenge. Day 23: A day in the life

    Saturdays from September to April = hockey days. Slight anomaly today as playing in goal with all this clobber on (we won 2-1 btw).

    Fully kitted up field hockey goalkeeper minus helmet which lies on the pitch before them.

    Pre-match nerves on another level today, making my annual cameo in goal 😬

    P.S. Forgot to say that this is another cheat day. This photo was taken back in 2011 on a visit to New Zealand.

    📸 September 2023 photo challenge. Day 18: Fabric

    Digging into the archives today because the story’s so good. An internet friend sent me a bow tie, it arrived just in time for a wedding we were going to and was the perfect match for the dress Izzy had picked out to wear. That’s magic 🪄

    📸 September 2023 photo challenge. Day 13: Glowing

    My first cheat of the challenge — today’s photos were taken by my wife. It was a no brainer given there’s a hot shop where she works.

    Found a nice quiet spot to spend my lunch break… then turned around and saw the vampire rabbit was watching me 😱

    I adore Lucy Rie’s creations and picked up this catalogue of her work on a recent visit to the Centre of Ceramic Art in York.

    I have two questions about ITV’s rugby World Cup coverage…

    1. Why have they set it up to look like a political debate?
    2. Why are they making the pundits wear suit jackets in this heat?

    I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed watching England play rugby. All change tonight - a George Ford masterclass and finally playing like a team 🙌 🌹🏉
