Rummaging
30 April 2008
Finally got hold of a reasonably priced 35mm scanner and so I am rummaging around in the trays of old snaps, and unearthing some long lost moments and the odd photograph of paintings completely forgotten about.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to bore the pants off people with the vast majority of them (and some of the early paintings are certainly not going to see the light of the lcd), but I am steadily adding to my photos section and did find one of a small painting I actually quite liked. This is mainly because it’s of an old packhorse bridge and the local heron, at the bottom of Headlam village green – a great little hamlet of a place I lived in for 6 merry years.
The Green was the biggest thing about the village, I say was, not because it’s been built-on or anything like that, it’s just the hotel there has increased in size and facility quite tremendously. Profit in these (repeat) weddings.
We’ve both left the village, the painting moving a little further than I, it now resides in Salzburg. Maybe I will return one day, to that region of largely unspoilt greens and their villages, you never know.
