#PROGRESS: we returned with wire cutters and stripped the tree of the bit of fence that had been wrapped around it - previously used by people sleeping in it. I do not begrudge anyone a spot to sleep off the ground, especially an area prone to flood, but this was getting spiky. We trimmed it and added it to the den. Junior also found a ripped tent that had been discarded and a swimming kickboard thing which we tied and hung to provide some shelter. Thank goodness for the humble Swiss Army knife. A good few hours work away from comics, iPads and being cooped up. #den #richmond #leicaq2 #leica #growingup

#DEN: bordering Princess Loewenstein’s beautiful Petersham Lodge lies a little patch of woods which is perfect for den-building, especially when the light floods it in the afternoon. #richmond #thames #petersham #leica #leicaq2

#EVENING: managed a short but sweet birthday walk circumnavigating Ham House, always forgetting that modern cameras work in the dark. #leica

#WALKIES: they’ve been together for fifteen years, and the long story is that she came back to him as part of a debt repayment. She prefers buses to trains. #bluegoldmacaw #macaw #neighbours #streetphotography #twickenham #pets #leica

#AVEBURY: a walk through the stones. I have only admired #Stonehenge from afar and never actually visited, but this is my fourth or so visit to Avebury over twenty years. It’s a bit more organized than it once was, and many more people, but still a magical place at a human scale. #henge #stonecircle #prehistoric #neolithic #worldheritage #worldheritagesite #countryside #bwphotography #blackandwhitephotography #leica #leicaq2 #summilux #rural #ruralbritain #britain

#RWC2019: try not to look too #shocked when South Africa beat us. Could have been worse, at least we gave the #AllBlacks a good kicking, less good that it does send #NZ domestic violence through the roof. Nice to be back in #Whitton for the game, though. #rugbyunion #rugby #rugbyworldcup #twickenham #england #pub #leicaq2 #leica

#LEICAQ2: goodbye M9, hello Q2. The first month shows that this is the closest possible modern-day equivalent to my beloved #ContaxG2, the fixed lens is unimpeachable, it is whisper-quiet and 47.3MP means huge flexibility in cropping. Perfect EDC camera as it’s pretty weather-sealed. And wifi pictures straight to my phone. Amazing. The #Canon1DX is up for sale too now :) Another ten years for this beast… #leica #mirrorless #rangefinder #summilux
