Late finish

Monday 24th November 2025, 6.25pm (day 5,205)

My present camera has stuck it out for about two and a half years now, which, I must admit, is longer than I thought it would and now longer than the average lifespan of my cameras which, after all, see daily use. In all that time, though, it has never really been able to take a very satisfactory handheld night shot, whichever setting I try. This one is nearly too out-of-focus to get away with, but I suppose it will do. Taken from home, looking down on the Calrec Audio car park: like this person, I also had a somewhat late finish to work today.

On the roof

Wednesday 12th November 2025, 10.45am (day 5,193)

On the roof, 12/11/25

This is not a time of the year when much seems to happen. Four years ago I was on St Helena in November but even then, 12/11/2021 was being spent in quarantine (and battling ants). There have been a couple of late November trips. But right now I’m just happy not to have been in Manchester today. Meanwhile, shot n+1 of ‘bloke(s) working on a roof’. With autumn leaves.

The turf roof senses autumn

Sunday 28th September 2025, 11.25am (day 5,148)

Turf roof, 28/9/25

Took me a day to decide on this one, if only because I am now going to end up with two consecutive shots taken from the same place, viz, the back of my house. But never mind. There is a clear sense of autumn on the turf roof on the extension to the mill — younger than this blog, although it doesn’t feel like it.

Bird and stonework

Sunday 9th February 2025, 11:05am (day 4,917)

C said she liked both the bird (‘magnificent’, she put it) and the stonework. I, myself, can see no other reasons to like the shot. So these things will do as a title.

Dusk, with Jupiter

Tuesday 9th April 2024, 8.50pm (day 4,611)

Nutclough dusk with Jupiter

Another depressing day of rain. I’m glad I’m off out of here on Thursday, yet it looks like I am going to miss out on spring entirely, as it certainly hasn’t started here yet. At least my penultimate evening at home was clear: good enough to see Jupiter, anyway, which pops into the shot to the right of the mill tower. But it seems it won’t last.

Arriving at t’mill

Thursday 21st March 2024, 9.10am (day 4,592)

Arriving at work, 21/3/24

The building at which these guys are arriving — Nutclough Mill — now makes audio equipment instead of fustian cloth, but I guess this scene would have appeared much the same if seen from my house 130 years ago. The cobbles won’t have changed at all. You must promise not to notice the telephone wire though.

View from the house

Saturday 2nd December 2023, 11.15am (day 4,482)

House view, 2/12/23

Continuing a theme, but why not — this was definitely the nicest thing to be seen today, and it didn’t even require leaving the house.

Still working on the roof

Wednesday 25th October 2023, 9.15am (day 4,444)

Roofers and mist, 25/10/23

The roofers have been working on Nutclough Mill for weeks now. Months, even. But there are worse mornings to be up there.

Today is, as you may notice, day 4,444 — twelve years and two months, more or less. I did think about finding something 4-related to mark it, but this photo was always going to be today’s shot once it was taken. Nevertheless the number is worth noting, particularly as Stafford, last Thursday, was place number 444. Which if nothing else shows I am maintaining a steady diet of one new place every ten days.

The roofers: still there

Thursday 24th August 2023, 8.45am (day 4,382)

Nutclough Mill roofers, 24/8/23

For some weeks now these guys have been pretty much the first thing seen as our curtains are opened in the morning; work to redo the roof of the Nutclough Mill has been going on forever, it seems. Rain or shine, and it was definitely rain this morning.

The home region

Wednesday 22nd February 2023, 12.50pm (day 4,199)

Nutclough from Lees Road, 22/2/23

Life at the moment is having its uneventful spells, and this is the middle of one of them. But at least the immediate locality continues to provide sufficient photo opportunities.
