Tuesday 11th August 2015, 11.50am (day 1,447)
First day in Manchester for a while. Ominous clouds, but they passed over without molesting us. I like this shot — trips to deepest Africa notwithstanding, one of my favourite ones for a while.

Under the umbrella
Monday 10th August 2015, 4.15pm (day 1,446)
I returned to work. It rained. Well, these things will happen, they still need documenting…
….and then the rain
Thursday 2nd July 2015, 4.00pm (day 1,407)
Hot and sunny in London yesterday it may have been, but in Manchester this afternoon it was neither of these things, particularly not when I had to walk all the way along Oxford Road getting soaked. At least this girl had an umbrella, even if, like me, she was otherwise dressed for rather nicer conditions.
June storm
Monday 8th June 2015, 5.15pm (day 1,383)
Was up at 5am to go to London for the day to work, and did take a gratuitous shot of Hebden Bridge at that time mainly because I have still yet to offer a shot from the hour of 5:00 – 5:59 in my near four years of doing this blog. However, this one twelve hours later was a more creative effort. Taken from the train home, just south of Peterborough.
More winter
Wednesday 28th January 2015, 3.30pm (day 1,252)
This hail storm was just the prelude, so the forecasts say. All of last week’s snow disappeared overnight on Monday — but it seems this week’s is well on the way.
Snowy sunset
Tuesday 20th January 2015, 3.50pm (day 1,244)
A familiar scene in so many ways, but we should keep our eyes open all the time, you never know when the same old view will take on a subtle character that you’ve not noted before.
A fluddle
Thursday 1st January 2015, 5.35pm (day 1,225)
It’s bigger than a puddle, but not quite big enough to be a flood. Hence, a fluddle, pictured at the back of the George pub in Torrisholme, Morecambe. However the first day of 2015 panned out for you, here in north-west Lancashire, it was very wet.
On the way to Old Town
Sunday 28th December 2014, 12.15pm (day 1,221)
I have on occasion been known to describe snow as the devil’s mange, but also must admit that the 90 minutes I spent out in it this morning, under clear blue skies, was probably the most beautiful experience of 2014 thus far. These are the moments worth waiting for in life.
White Christmas?
Thursday 25th December 2014, 12.30pm (day 1,218)
Well, it may have been snow. Only I and the nearest meteorologist know for sure. A happy Christmas to one and all, wherever you may be, whatever you may have done.
Thunderstorm
Friday 8th August 2014, 4.05pm (day 1,079)
Actually today was a relatively pleasant day — apart from this 30-minute period in the afternoon. Look in the background — even the Canada goose is taking shelter.
