My fellow judges were Barbie and Peter Gennard, we were looked after very well by the WCPF and we stayed at a nice B&B called the Warren near the sea front.

The "Beyond Group" are holding thier first Members Exhibition at the Octagon in Colchester, it was put up on Saturday while I was judging the Southampton International exhibition, so I missed out on helping. The rest of the members did a brilliant job, the exhibition is on for 3 months.

SOUTHAMPTON INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION

Just got back from judging the Southamton International Exhibition, Barbie was one of the other judges along with Sandy Cleland from Scotland. We judged the Nature prints, nature digital and the open digital, we had over 6000 images to go through, we started on the Friday morning and finished the Saturday in the afternoon. Had a good time and the hospitality by Southampton was excellent, my thanks go to Glyn Edmunds, Maurice Pugh, Chris Palmer and all the others.

This is a tribute to little Stormy, who died Yesterday..a lovely cat and will be missed greatly. Many tears were shead over the passing of Storm..

PARKING TICKET

We went to London at the weekend to visit the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum in Kensington, when we got back to the car, we had a parking ticket for £120, it was a bit puzzling, seeing as far as we were concerned we had not parked illegally, also we never noticed the ticket until we were almost home as it was well hidden on the passenger side under the air intake vent on the car?. Barbie took charge and contacted the South Kensington council appealing against the ticket..good news we got a letter of apologies and the ticket was cancelled..I wonder how many people would have paid the ticket, thinking they were in the wrong..good little earner ...the phrase "corrupt Council" comes to mind..!
