I need a better camera

Hmm - some photos off my phone I finally down loaded... I need a new camera, the old one bust so I'm not taking many photos currently...

A passion fruit flower in the garden. I thought this was dead after the winter and I hacked it back now it's better than ever!



Trinty church Boston - a guide was saying how this was a Norman inspired church. Maybe but it's the wrong shape - equal sided cross not a typical cruxifix like in Europe. Also despite what she said those aren't Norman arches in the windows. However it is a very pretty building which I liked.

Yes I know... must try harder!

    It is a pretty church but doesn't look norman in style.

    Passion flowers are incredibly hardy.

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show.

I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...

Guitar Review - Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap Signature 12 string

Folks will remember my purchase a few weeks back of the Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG 12 string to replace my old Yamaha which sadly has seen better days... My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic.  Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre.  I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string.  This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design.  Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
