Friday 8th November 2013, 7.50am (day 806)
My train was slightly late, but this one left just at the right time. I don’t know if this picture is quite what I expected to be when I took it, but it was always going to be today’s photo.

First frost of the winter
Monday 4th November 2013, 8.15am (day 802)
The first one I’ve seen since about January 25th, the date I skipped out of last winter and buggered off to the Southern Hemisphere. A cold but beautiful morning captured as I headed for the train station to go into work.
Works lighting, Nutclough Mill extension
Sunday 3rd November 2013, 10.40am (day 801)
A day of sunshine and showers, which I think this shot manages to capture, as well as documenting the continuing growth of the building going up near to our house. My first full day in Hebden Bridge since October 20th, but that’s fine, I needed the rest.
Nutclough, dusk
Sunday 20th October 2013, 6.20pm (day 787)
The night falls earlier and earlier — but of course that is the time of year. The real shock to the system will come a week from today, when the clocks go back.
View from my house
Tuesday 15th October 2013, 5.50pm (day 782)
I worked at home and taught online today and never left the house. Fortunately for the blog in these circumstances, there’s always the view.
Among other things you get a good impression of the rising extension to the Nutclough Mill (see also here and here). Will it look OK when finished, or terrible? Well, doubtless you will find out, as will we.
Side of the Hebden Water
Sunday 13th October 2013, 10.00am (day 780)
A cute little corner of HB, particularly with all those berries out, but also a familiar one: I see this place on many days. In a way this is a stock shot I have been reserving for just such a day as today — spent mostly working at home and not feeling very inspired (for photography, or for work now I come to think about it). It becomes the day’s photo almost by default.
Drizzly day
Saturday 12th October 2013, 11.55am (day 779)
It’s been a good few days for photography but not much was happening today either with the light or with life. Drizzle and chill has probably announced the start of proper autumn weather.
Park steps and canal bridge number 16A
Saturday 28th September 2013, 2.30pm (day 765)
The bridge extends over the Rochdale Canal, and links Hebden Bridge town centre (to the right) with Calder Holmes Park. Today was another glorious day, how much longer can this summer last?
Waiting for the 7:56
Friday 27th September 2013, 7.55am (day 764)
And there it is coming in, right on time — behind the head of the woman stood second left. A glorious day today, a perfect late summer’s day, I nearly posted something about this year’s Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, but I decided I wasn’t that angry.
Up it goes
Tuesday 24th September, 2.50pm (day 761)
These girders have been erected over the last two weeks by the unexpectedly large object. They are the skeleton of a new extension being built below our house by the owners of the Nutclough Mill, a building you have seen several times before but which will be irrevocably changed by this project. Is this a good thing? Ask us when it’s finished.
