chair in a forest
there’s only so far that castors on the modern chair will take you. this one got grounded in the mud in the middle of this dark forest.
page 76
here’s page 76 of the paddington station sign book in the streets behind the station.
anglesey abbey
anglesey abbey is quite beautiful and well worth a visit if you are near Cambridge.
stencil graffiti
this is a life sized stencil graffiti. it was quite incredible to look at.

llama
the llama is a quietly confident animal. and it’s not a bird (as i mistakenly explained to my daughter – oops)
a comedian (whose name i have forgotten)
when i took this photo i should also have asked him what his name was !

caution crumbling cliffs (and no dogs)
here’s a funny old thing. there were three rows of fences stopping people dropping off the edge of this cliff.
and on the furthest one away, right over the drop is a dog sign !

noisey neice
here is my neice sarah hitting her brother’s electric guitar with a drum stick. the guitar has real strings and pickups and a little on board amplifier.
the battery was running out so the guitar had a fantastic distortion sound. sarah’s drums stick bashing and scratching created a nice post-grunge throwback vibe.
country sign
this winding path leads to a disease.
disease is one of those words that if you repeat it to yourself enough times stops sounding like a real word.
that makes it a good word i think.

a finnish ice hand
we all know how scared finnish people are of ice monsters – well here is some proof (as if we needed it).
this sign was sent by ‘blog dipper’ Keith. he took it on a recent holiday to helsinki. he likes how this sign conveys the terror of the disappearing hand and so do i.

huge in the bedroom department
i wanted to take a photo of me with the docklands in the background so i did a moving self portrait.
imagine my surprise when i looked at it in full and read what the street sign said – this was totally unplanned !
(note how busy the track is around me)
