A Spring in my step...

Ok, I'm being slightly deluded, but I'm grasping at every sign I can find that the Spring is on the way .. the whistle of a song-thrush at three-thirty in the morning, the welcome nudge of a crocus through the decaying leaves of last year, the Easter Eggs in the supermarkets .. and the two-for-one deals on Hot Cross buns!

It does help, of course, that all 'my' brides are talking about June and August, so I can focus ahead on the warmer days to come and forget the fact that my garden fence just blew down in the 70 mile an hour winds! I've been busy organising my forthcoming photographic exhibition, to be held at Corvino's Deli in Culcheth, and am surrounded by my pictures of bright flowers - Florescence, great bands -  Joy Division and The Smiths (to name but two) and humourous moments caught on camera - Don't Miss This.

It's photography's ability to capture memories forever that really puts a Spring in my step!

A little social-networking...

Enjoyed a nice little get-together last night, 'social-networking' with local business people as varied as a mortgage advisor, a private health provider, the owner of an industrial estate and a South African guy who used to farm chickens and now renovates houses! What a mish-mash! Had a great chat with a lady about music, too. She was raving about my Joy Division photography, and I was in awe of her living in Georgia and drinking coffee at Michael Stipe's bar, but the best thing to come out of it - for me - was the fact that I might be in line to stage a new exhibition of my work! The owner of the deli where we all met - Corvino's, in Culcheth - said she's seen my work online and would love to show it on her walls. Exciting stuff, and I'll obviously keep you informed as to how I get on. Hey, I'll even invite you to the opening. You can network with me .. socially!
