Local Artist Tim Hulley

I have taken some photographs of canvases by local artist Tim Hulley for his publicity.  They are on sale at Whirlow Farm in Sheffield (web link: Whirlow Farm).  They are pictures of the animals and landscapes of the Peak District.

Move over J K Rowling

Ok, so the content is different and I don't write about wizards (though as I get older and grumpier the wish to have a wand that would respond to "Expelliarmus" etc is very tempting).

No, the publishing world has decided to act like buses recently and make a splurge on my photos in: the Rotherham Advertiser; Dinnington Guardian; Barnsley Chronicle; Sheffield Telegraph and (best of all) UK Tennis magazine.

At least she'll have an ice-breaker now in case we start mingling in the same circles......

Starting a long wait

Marcus Clodius Balista has finished his fourth adventure and now there is the long wait til 'The Wolves of the North' comes out.  Check it out at: http://www.harrysidebottom.co.uk

Tour of Britain 2012

The Tour of Britain is the UK's biggest professional bicycle race and a centrepiece of the British sporting calendar as the country’s largest free-to-watch live sporting event, with many hundreds of thousands more following via television and online.
Lucky enough to be able to take a day off work yesterday and head off to deepest Derbyshire and catch the riders for 10 seconds as they slow down to take a sharp left-hand turn over some loose gravel.  Centre frame is Bradley Wiggins, British winner of the Tour de France 2012.

The wonderful Pete McKee

Pete starys off one of his blog entries with: "Living in Sheffield affords me some luxuries like having the odd pint with Richard Hawley and being able to put Henderson’s Relish on my Meat and Potato pie..."
It also allows him to meet the lovely Jessica Ennis and pass on some of his iconic paintings to her.  One of these occasions was last Friday at a Civic Reception for Jess at the City Hall, Sheffield:

Jess had just enjoyed the applause from a crowd of 10,000+ in Barker's Pool.  The ballroom in the City Hall was a relative oasis of calm, but not overly-well lit so apologies for the flash bouncing around all over the place.  See more at: Jessica Ennis
