Thursday’s been another fun-packed day here in the Pennines. OK. I lied, the weather’s been changeable at best and most of my day has been spent glued to a computer screen as I head for the home straight when it comes to scanning my old railway pictures. After nearly 30 years there’s only a couple of hundred left to do now. God, I am going to be soooo glad to see this job finished!

Not that the picture of the day will have anything to do with railways. At the moment my feet are that itchy they almost feel on fire, so here’s a picture of something rather different. It was taken at Hampi, India in December 1997. This magnificent building was actually a stables for elephants.

I pity the poor sod who had the job of mucking these out…

I’m really looking forward to getting back on the road again after the Covid crisis and heading back to this neck of the woods. Life has become far too mundane here in the UK and I need some colour, magic and the splashes of inspired insanity only Asia can provide!

I’ve a favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this blog, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course (although if you did find something that tickled your fancy would be fab!), but the revenue from them helps to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site – and right now (because of Covid), us locked-down freelances need all the help that we can get…

Thank you!
