Back from Greenbelt
There is now much to un-pack, dirty clothes and lots of notes on scraps of paper – photo’s will have to wait as I had to use an ordinary camera!! Once the clothes have been washed and the scraps assembled, I might even have something coherent to say. It was good to catch up with…

A week in the wild west

High rise

Cash is spent?
You may have seen an advert like this, well similar, I reconstructed this one while on the train, wasn’t quick enough with the camera!! Since there was nothing much else to do I started pondering the advertising, obviously offering some alternative to cash, turns out the old switch cards are now these, so basically another…
