2025 calendar

My favourite photo

One of my photos that I got in a local calendar for this year. There was a photographic competition in the summer. People were asked to submit pictures of our local village of Penkhull for it to raise funds for the village hall.

In the end three of my pictures were chosen, that’s a quarter of the twelve monthly images! There was also a thirteenth one that was chosen for the front of the calendar. I’m so proud to have had my work included for 2025.

My bike

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

45 years ago I bought myself a ladies mixtie frame 10 speed bike.

It cost £120 which was a lot of money then and as a student I had to pay monthly to get it. I think it took me 6 months.

But it got me through college and into the first jobs I had. It was my method of visiting family and friends. I must have ridden thousands of miles on it.

Bikes are a means of transport for all sorts of people. Who needs ebikes. Keep cycling.

Descending stats…

Oh dear, I must be a bit more interesting, my monthly stats seem to be descending… But like everyone else I’m a bit limited in where I can go. And do you really want to read about face masks and social distancing.

So what can I talk about? My hair is growing, it seems to be evolving!

It’s turned frizzy and white (not overnight, and not from fright). I did mess it up a bit on this photo!

So if you don’t mind me, I will keep posting bits and bobs here.

Stats have changed?

What is happening here? My stats pages have changed. Perhaps they have tried to simplify them but now you are directly sent to the insights page and then you can choose whether you see stats for days, weeks, months and years. But it’s not the same. The bar charts look different and I’m not sure how they relate to the old ones.

I wish I knew where we get information from to tell us what is happening  Is there a page which you can look at to tell you what is coming up at WordPress?

It seems to happen everywhere. Facebook is constantly tweaked as is Instagram. You just have to try and pick up what is going on. I don’t think things should stay the same but it would be handy to have some information before hand.
