Method.

With the pics. below, I pointed camera at a bright light, half pressed the shutter to keep exposure,
then pointed at candles and clicked so they were under exposed. (Just in case anyone was interested!!)

Second black and white!

First Black and White

Photos.

The sun is shining, the trees bare and bright, even the dogs down in the garden seem to have more energy today. I've just wandered up the road to where council workmen, ever obedient to Brussels, are preparing to demolish a little stone bridge which has been deemed unsafe regardless of the fact that they took a sixty ton crane over it the other day! I've taken a few snaps of the scene. I'm unable to post any photographs at the moment. Have to get my daughter to sort me out again! Silly old fools , messing about with computers! " What have you done now?"! Gawd.
Boy! It's nice out there though. My face is tingling. Going to make a cup of tea now.

Will.

Today I thought I'd make my will,

though there's some life within me still.

So, down I sit to make a start.

To my Kathleen, I leave my heart.

Memories are the reward for living.

There were happy moments when we were young.
The war was remote for us, something the grown ups spoke about.
There were no cars on the roads.
Milk was delivered by horse and cart as were vegetables and parafin.
The sun always seemed to shine and we could roam at will to explore,
play and get into mischief.

Forgotten piece!

Since we met I've been in pain.

I think that I'm in love again.

I can't forget your lovely face or your eyes

that make my poor heart race.

One day, perhaps, I'll tell you this,

'til then I'll dream of our first kiss.
