In the run up to Dementia Action Week, the Forest Of Dean Dementia Action Alliance are hosting a number events during the coming week. I am privileged to be asked to talk about two projects which will be covered through two Zoom sessions  as follows:

I HOPE YOU CAN JOIN ME

I managed to take advantage of some pleasant weather this week with a couple of rambles around the small village of Tidenham; see my Villages page here, and to a place I've been wanting to visit for a while, Clanna Ponds. This provided me with a new Picture Story in the shape of Ron the fisherman; read about him on my Picture Story page here.

Our local village was partially closed off this week whilst an episode of the popular TV series Casualty was filmed.   The scene involves an incident on the railway crossing with a classic MGB GT and a young girl in sixties costume.  There must have been more than 50 crew and security people with only three or four actors.  Although 'challenged' by security I managed to get few photo's of the proceedings.

Thrilled to again have one of my images accepted in the Leica Foto Internationalé gallery for Symbols and Structures. Check out my others here

Take a virtual walk around the latest village in my Villages of the Forest of Dean project:

Getting out and about when it snows isn't always easy but I managed to get down to my favourite place Mallards Pike on a lovely sunny morning.  A selection you will find in my Home Page Favourites. This is another that has proved popular on Facebook with over 300 Likes.

It's been a while, mainly due to Lockdown restrictions that I've been able to meet people to chat to on my photographic wanderings, but today I has the pleasure to meet Bernie. Read her story on my Picture Story page here.
