Northumberland
I've been a bit not here as I recently spent three weeks looking after mum after her hip resection (they replaced the top bit on one done ten years ago). That didn't give me much time for getting out and about (and I had to learn uphill starts again as I was main driver and have been in Norfolk too long) but ( Read more... ) -
Spring has arrived in Norwich
But it seems to be about two weeks behind things. The magnolias at The Great Hospital were out but only just. Still worth photographing though ( Read more... ) -

Comparative Les Mis again - Eponine carries a letter.
Something a JVJ said to me recently made want to compare the size of the different Rue Plumet gates in different productions. I chose the last scene when it's used (I wanted to see how they put it back in storage) but then I realised the way I'd seen it acted in 1987, and as it's done in London now, is very different to how they did it in Germany ( Read more... )
