Rob at Sully's frameshop

Rob at Sully's frameshop
For some reason taking photos of frames has a surreal quality, your head says they should have pictures in them and with photoshop there would be nothing easier than adding a perfect frame afterwards - but the shadows and the way that you can peep through or the person you are photographing can arrange how they appear in the frame makes it more human. I liked this one eye shot of Rob.

Well, the band were playing in Falmouth so we took the opportunity to go down a couple of days early and catch up with friends and old haunts in Falmouth. Pete's frame shop was as busy as ever so I had a good time taking the opportunity to take some photos in the workshop.

Dinner with Mum, Ady and Fred and a visit to Grandad's house.

The day before rememberence Sunday we went out for a great lunch at the Swan in Lamport Northampton.   Great views over the rolling North Northamptonshire countryside and a lovely opportunity to catch up with my mum, Ady and Fred.  The sun shone brilliantly and it was a real crisp and bright November day.  In the morning I caught up with our Grandfather George Brown and also Aunt Rita, it was great to see him and he was kind enough to let me get some pictures of him.

The slides are of the whole day.

Went over to see my Grandad George on Saturday morning, it was a lovely sunny day and brilliant to see him looking so well. He is getting ready for the memorial service that is held at the chapel where he lives but was happy to let me take a photo of him with his medals before I went.
