What’s it like – Great Orme Tramway
What’s it like – at Cromer Beach?
It was nice to get out last week for Zoes birthday. Lockdown with no income has been a bind. Made this little film which is a taste of what was to be in 2020 had it not been viruswiped.
Picture of the Day: Fortune Cookie – Long Buckby, Northamptonshire [2016]
On this day in 2016, Mrs Gnomepants V2.0 and I went for a succulent Chinese meal at the Dynasty in Long Buckby, Northamptonshire. At the end of the meal, they bring your bill with some fortune cookies. Which is nice. However, as Mrs Gnomepants v2.0 is allergic to dairy and fortune cookies contain milk I ended up with two.
Picture of the Day: Celebrity Ferret, Tewkesbury [2017]
Then there was this one time when we went to the annual medieaval fayre thing they have at Tewkesbury and we were wandering about looking at the various stalls and things. Then Zoe cries “Aww look at the ferrets” so we went to the ferret stall where Zoe paid to go and handle the ferrets.
It was so cute. I took photos and a film.
But then typically we were photobombed by flouncy flowery ponce interior designer Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen. The ferret is the one in Zoe’s hands, the flamboyant Jason King impressionist behind her is Bowen.
Picture of the Day: Steam Roller – Hollowell [2019]
I’m beginning to worry that my anorak is showing.
More from the annual steam and heavy horse show held at Hollowell in Northamptonshire, this time in 2019.

Sometimes days go by where it appears that over previous years there are days where I havent taken any photos. Then you get to times where there are photos and videos because of annual events. Usually around this time of year is the Hollowell Steam and Heavy Horse Show so my photostreams seem full of my visits there
Picture of the Day: Bloxham Steam Fair 2014, Bloxham [2014]
Sometimes I like to turn my pictures into little videos. I’ve been doing this since about 2008 when I learned how to do it while doing a degree in Television Production. At least it makes me feel like it was worthwhile eh?
Anyway, here is a collection of photos taken today in 2014 at the Steam Fair in Bloxham. Although I go to a lot of steam fairs I do not own an anorak nor do I enjoy flasks of weak lemon drink.
