Friday, 1st December 2023 - Snooker

Today I travelled up to York to spend the weekend with Mave's immediate family.  I stopped at Doncaster on the way to have lunch with one of Mave's oldest friends , GL,  and her son M. It was good to see them again - the first time since the funeral.

Then back on the road to York and the mist gradually thickened,  but not dangerously.  R had cooked a very nice lasagne for dinner and then S and I spent the evening  at York Barbican where the UK Snooker Championship was being held. It was the second quarter final session and S had got us tickets. I didn't take a camera but did take a few (poor) phone pictures to remember the evening. This was the view from my seat

The  matches we saw were Ding Jonhui vs Mark Williams (won by Ding)




and  Mark Selby vs Judd Trump (won by Judd)



It was my first experience of live snooker and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 
Thank you S.

Friday, 8th March 2024 - HATFIELD WATER MILL

Image
Today, the U3A Photography Group visited the Water Mill at Hatfield. Unfortunately any catering facilities they may have were not open today so we met in the nearby Tesco cafe for the almost essential coffee before going to the mill, ready for some photography.    The inside of the mill was lit by sodium lamps. They might be good for the eye but not for colour photography.  To avoid those problems, I processed these images in black & white and then added a sepia tint which I thought suited the subject. And finally, my personal favourite of the day ... Thanks for checking my blog   🙂 Den

Sunday , 4th February 2024 - Farewell Band Gang, Hello Band Crew

Image
Well, we went to the Anchor for lunch today as the Band Gang, had a very enjoyable meal, and then departed renamed as the Band Crew. Apparently the original name could somehow get confused with another "activity".  It's beyond me but if someone could explain it to me I'd be most grateful  😜 _____________________
