  1. I'd love to get artistic with you, Ecc.

    How about we go to Shackerstone(canal, boats, railway, bridges) meet at 10.00am and have a drink at the pub after or picnic. Weather dependent. Kids and dogs inclusive.

  4. Hi Jim
    I think the railway line (steam) and station are open. Search on Shackerstone railways. The girls might like a trip on the train, the Battlefield line, it goes to Mkt Bosworth (coz girls like that sort of stuff too, but we don't feel the need to do it every weekend and write down the numbers)

    this is for suzi Paws cos she cant view my blog,she really is a problem child :-))Saturday Tog Trip

    We have been planning a day out this Saturday 10th of July and the general consensus was to meet about 1pm to spend the afternoon and evening at a location to be decided. We have included the evening in the trip as this allows for better photography with better lighting conditions as opposed to a morning start when the light is to intense with the sun over head.



    We could have pub grub early in the evening and possibly move to 1 or 2 locations.

    Eric Jim pip pete and myself are all ready to go with batteries fully charged,we need to know definites straight away to organise travel arrangements



    Pip has suggested some local sites (Shackerstone canal, boats, railway, bridges) sounds good!!or there is stratford upon Avon or Birmingham city centre and the canals,all not to far away. or anywhere else not to faraway if anybody else has got any ideas


    The weather forecast is getting warmer,so beer money essential,ya best shorts and some film in them old Nikons!! A sense of humour is imperative!!

    Post tonight on this blog or asap or ring Eric or Steve to let us know if you are coming?

    Brum is the main request at the mo
    Wed evening at Alrewas

    The Alrewas Memorial arboretum is open this Wed late until 10pm,it normally closes at 5pm. A great opportunity to get some nice late night photography around this large site. A lot of interesting sculptor's, monuments, silhouettes and sunsets,beautiful flower meadows etc. Eric is definitely going,ring Eric for meeting time
