I have added a few pictures from a couple of days at The Asylum Steampunk Festival in Lincoln at the end of August. It was a great 2 days despite the weather and all of the costumes and contraptions were fantastic (or should that be 'splendid'?). Thank you to everyone who let me photograph them.
Although this is my first blog post for a while, I have been relatively busy taking photos and just have not had time to upload them yet. I hope to catch up soon.
A few pictures of a Lakeland Terrier named Skye have been added to the Animals gallery.
Salmon pasta bake. Wholemeal pasta in a celery sauce, topped with broccoli and cherry tomatoes, then covered with salmon and dill in a mascarpone roux sauce. Topped with grilled mature cheddar.
All Saints church, Walsoken, Wisbech. Photographed tonight at sunset.
Some more pictures of Dexter the labrador, playing in the garden.
Thai braised fillet steak marinated in Thai fish sauce, soy sauce and coriander. Served with leeks, spinach and the marinade with added chili as a sauce.
This squirrel has been in the garden quite a lot lately so I thought I'd get a few shots. Didn't have long though before it darted off thanks to some annoying pigeons.
I managed to capture some of the very brief moments of flight amid the chaos of my dad practising with his new (yet somehow already very old looking) remote controlled helicopter.
Made my mum some fish cakes. Haddock, cod and salmon cooked in the oven, mashed with Maris Piper potatoes and horseradish, then mixed with chopped smoked salmon, parsley and brown shrimps. Mixture was formed into patties, coated with a flour mix of plain flour, cornflour, paprika and sea salt, then dipped in a beaten egg, the coated with breadcrumbs. The fish cakes were then fried in coconut oil and served with a creme fraiche based chargrilled cucumber and dill sauce on a bed of pea shoots in a lemon and maple dressing.
With Mother's day, Ruby Wedding anniversary and recuperation from a routine operation all coinciding, there has been, to put it mildly, an abundance of flowers, chocolates and cake recently. These two are new arrivals from the latest batch wonderfully rich chocolate cupcakes. Thank you very much, Wendy :)
Ruby Wedding Anniversary Fairy Cakes. My parents received these for their 40th wedding anniversary.
Snapped a few shots of the neighbours cat Ronnie. Don't think he was too keen though :)
Got some shots of this mornings partial solar eclipse under very light cloud with full solar filters, approx 1000mm (DX) at Fosdyke, Lincs.
Added some pictures of another anniversary bouquet and a Mother's Day bouquet.
More Anniversary flowers :)
Mother's Day meal: 'Mapleaki' salmon (Teriyaki style glaze based on Maple syrup) with mushrooms, mixed rice and kale.
A quick picture of a bouquet my parents were given for their Ruby Wedding Anniversary. I did this in a bit of a rush and the flash has washed out any detail in the yellow. But still, not too bad :)
I am in the process of setting up this new site for my photos. I hope to start uploading some pictures over the next few days. In the meantime, I have lots of settings and layout to explore and attempt to understand. Including this blog. This is actually my first blog post, on any blog, ever. Is that a good thing?
