Hi Mark, and welcome.

Sorry my hello is late, but as they say, better late than never.

Had a look at your web site. Some good images in there. I don't suppose you have been approached by the Swindon Tourist Board for some promotional Photographs!

Enjoy your stay

Regards

Stoo

Oddly, no they haven't approached me...

Thanks for looking.

All the best

Hi Mark,
welcome from the Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California!

Enjoyed my visits to Swindon in the 1990s.

Hi Brac,
nice to see another Swindonian on the list, albeit temporarily. Where are you off to?

Cheers

Hoping to move to the Welsh borders/Herefordshire - vaguely in that direction anyway. However knowing how things never go to plan I accept I could end up in Scunthorpe or Grimsby. We shall see!

Come on up the A49 a bit to South Shropshire. It's much nicer than Herefordshire

Cheers

Thanks Mike. I don't rule it out - Ludlow area is one of the places I'm considering but as always with these things its a question of finding the right place at the right price at the right time. At least being retired I've got a lot of flexibility about where I go, provided I'm not too far from the places/things that interest me and existing friends in Wilts & Worcs and so South Shrops meets those criteria to some degree. Best wishes.

Ludlow for a short time until 3 years ago and I still own a small house there right in the centre - I love going there for weekends etc.

Mark, welcome from Bucks. Seeing XTC mentioned reminded me I saw them playing in the Kings Head pub in Aylesbury, when they were just breaking out of being a 'local' band. I remember shooting a film there on the old Practika Super TL2 I used then, probably on HP5.
