I’m always taking photos whilst I’m out & about but perhaps more so than the average person? I look after a clutch of websites & social media accounts for community & charity groups locally so I could be photographing an event or getting library shots that I might use at a later date.

Going Green
I’ve had the right to vote for forty years but for 20 of those, as an employee of the government, I rarely used that right and that didn’t change much after I left, some 18 years ago.
