2008
Here I am at Whistle Binkies on the May 1st 2008, Edinburgh. I know you have always wanted to see inside the place. I managed to capture three bands.
First I saw was Irregular CompanyAlas I only saw the last 3 sets.
There was a wait and then on came Come in Tokyo. Two-piece band with a tasty female drummer.
The last band I saw was The Jack. Older more traditional rock bank
All were worthwhile listening too, and these are the best of my pictures. Quite hard to get good ones in the low light, and flash is a definite no, you lose the ambience. Umm is this a new faster lens I need.

The Berkshire Cambridge Society weekend away to Sherborne, with visits to The Haynes International Motor Museum, Old Wardour Castle , Sherborne Abbey and many other treats.
Edinburgh after dark, at the start of the Edinburgh fringe festival. A walk down the highstreet and Cowgate to the Scottish parliament and back. Stopping at Whistle Binkies on the way there and back.
Family holiday to Tuscany in late June, staying in a Villa. Peter, Nick and children, Ann and Mike, Rosemary and I, and another.
September visit to Cambridge University to hear a set of lectures for university graduates, and tours of collages and gardens.
Our annual trip to Gurnsey, staying in the time share. Seems we had some good weather.
Various pictures, including Rosemary's cricket set. The machinery at Lasymead joinery where Rosemary worked. The snow in Kingswood, Ravi and Maggie outside the Oxford Bar. The beautiful Charlecote House and Park. This year we had the kitchen updated.
