Coming to Christmas

I have included a picture of Rae and myself which shows us in what is a characteristic daily event of cycling to the town centre. The picture was taken and given to us by Richard Brown.

Making up some Albums

Over the Christmas vacation I am going to make up a `favourite' album and start some of the camp albums. Theo, Becca, and Ruby spent hours and hours sorting the camp photos we hold into the appropriate decades! They did very well, and I want to make good use of their hard work.

Any photos for any of these camps? Haven't got so many of the early camps. Any offers?

changes to news at 10

After six months of experimenting with structure, layout, timing and what goes where, I have decided to stabilize with the following operating guidelines:

  • That the news at 10 page will be seasonal rather than monthly.
  • Latest news items will go at the top of the page pushing the rest down
  • The navigation column (left) will include an index of items on the page (news at 10 in brief) at the top of the column. A link in the index, when clicked, will take you to the corresponding item on the page.
  • The navigation column will continue to have links to items to do with the page, for example, a set of links to archived news at 10 pages (back issues), and topical photo albums. The google facility to search the site is also located there.

"a real story": breakthrough

Since I have been in touch with my cousins Lewis and Brian who are part of the Bowden family my father grew up in, I have been able to start to put together a more rounded view of the history of my grandmother `Dolly' of Edensor Place and the family who lived there together with a few more photos and stories.

It will make re-drafting sections of the book " A Real Story" a pleasure. It will be a while yet before it is up on site, but I am delighted to be able to make progress after so many years searching. The cropped picture of Dolly and Albert courtesy of my cousin Lewis.

photo albums and design

I think it's worth keeping these albums in view and on-line for a while. The photos in the left column give some idea of what's in the albums.

The designs are mine, inspired and derived from the work of stu nicholls at www.cssplay.com
and bryn harries at www.parlicoot.co.uk.

Anyone wishing to use the designs for private use is welcome to adapt them. An acknowledging link to this site would be appreciated. Commercial and organisational users should email me before use.

camp 2007 albums

The October album will continue to be updated. The ugly bug ball(2) alternative is the same album (2) but is designed to work for a number of browsers which have difficulty with more recent methods of web design.

The complete set of galleries is on the gallery page
