Day 139 Lights Will Guide Us Home
Totally stuck for inspiration tonight then was drawn to the lovely reflection of my fairy lights on my living room blinds. Not a great photo but at least something a little different.

Day 136 On The Bandstand
It was a beautiful sunset tonight. I didn't get long to take my shot as I had to stop at the side of the road to take this on my way to my friends house but I couldn't resist stopping to take a few. I know most people would like the people out of this shot but I don't mind them here.

This is a little blurry as I didn't have my tripod with me and had to hand hold in poor light. I like the effect though and may have to try again one of these days

Day 127 Let Me in Through Your Window
Ham house is a beautiful 17th Century house along the Thames, whoich I got to see on Sunday.
I've played with the saturation and colour on this photo to add drama and make it look like a haunted house, i love the effect that the house is almost glowing under the stormy sky!!!

This photo is of the under-croft, designed as a drinking den for James the 1st and his friends.
After soaking up a bit of historical culture we headed to the West End for a bit of literary culture in the form of Mojo The Play. If you get a chance check it out, it has an amazing cast and is really funny as well as gritty.

Dad gave me his record player this weekend as he couldn't get it working on his system at home. Luckily for me it works with my amp and this is me playing The Sound of Music. I only have 5 records at the moment so might have to make a trip to the charity shops to get some more!

Day 114 We fell In Love Down At The Pier
There was a gorgeous sunset yesterday but by the time I'd got down to the seafront it had almost set! So instead I tried to photograph Brighton Pier from a different angle than usual. This isn't perfect but I like the way the railings lead the eye into the photo and along the pier.

On Sunday Tracey and I visited Virginia Wolfe's house in Sussex. Its pretty small but set in lovely gardens with beautiful views of the South Downs. This photo shows the reading corner in Virginia's bedroom.
Nestled in the heart of rural Sussex, Monk’s House is a tranquil 17th-century weatherboarded cottage inhabited by Leonard and the novelist Virginia Woolf from 1919 until Leonards death in 1969.
