Re: Ray's Photos
The Archive stuff in Part One today is from a scanned transparencies folder and, for once, it's all easily dateable to the period from mid-1989 to mid-1990 when I lived in Belsize Road, in a top-floor flat above Bisque, a bespoke radiator shop owned by Chip's dapper plumber friend, Geoff, and his jug-eared Irish partner, Johnny Gordon.
First, more of my new lamp. I think you can count me pleased with it...
Glassy
Sort-of Selfie (Arm and One Eye) with New Lamp
Kilburn Xmas
December 1989 fo shizzle
The Comforts of Home
The Mansions, whence I had moved, was a lot bigger than the flat above the shop
Thrift Shop Scores
Across the way
Passing Thoughts
Ranunculus

Re: Ray's Photos
The usual random archive activity from the print scans in Part One, while July of this year is wound up in Part Two.
Ahem, didn't actually take many of these
Logo
Of UKFA. Not really a print of anything - I scanned the T
Toddling
I'm guessing I'm two there, so 1950 or ’51, in the back garden of 186 Clyde Road, Tottenham
Trip Mode
Tripping with Billy (who took it) at the Mansions, early 1989 I think. I'm just putting on (or taking off) Dinosaur Jr's Little Fury Things
Going Out
Celia and Grace, 168 Putney Bridge Road, 1976 or ’77
Flying Earrings
Chip, Pete and Bec's wedding, Willesden Green, 1983
Line-up
Form 3, Autumn 1958 I think, just before I was skipped up to form 1. Downhills School playground.
L to R: Me, Derek Cattle, David Tomkins, Chris Hart, Alan Glover, Neil Urquhart, Graeme Robinson, Anthony Innes, Um, Er, Alan Hubbard, Colin Read, Glyn Cornish, John Gordon, John Bull, Reno Caldarelli, not sure. Only remember 60% of girls.
Psychedlic
Took this to illustrate an article I was writing and/or editing for an antiques/collectibles partwork called What's it Worth

Part Two
The last day of July
Blue Morning
Agapanthus
Breaking Up
Dilating
This dahlia's pleased to see me
Snappy
Two snapdragons: they put on a really good show this year
A Day at the Beach
Two young women turned up with half a dozen kids under five While Scrap and I were at the beach. Never seen them before nor since, but I really like this picture of them
Back tomorrow if I get some more editing done.

Re: Ray's Photos
In part one, 3 August in Sandford, and all the usual suspects are there
Bundle
It's August, and a young boy's fancy turns to beating up the local princess. Scrap and Kizzy romping in the dry grass, while Elvis looks on
The Glade
Lots of plants transferred to pots in anticipation of a move to a new garden
Big Pink
Shocking Tigridia
Drinking from the Big Bowl
Scrap refuels in the garden pond
Flyby
Evel is in Trouble...

Re: Ray's Photos
Part Two features the continued heatwave in early August, and Him and Me off for a paddle in the Creedy
The Way to Happiness
New Territory
The Beach itself is that sliver of light halfway up the photo on the left
Lean
Looking upriver from the same spot
Who, Me?
Butter wouldn't melt in that mouth, but lignite shreds
A Shoe In
Sorry
Does Not Compute
Dog and stick on dry land, doggy dad in the drink: the world turned upside down
Stealing a March on Autumn
Tomorrow, more from the Mighty Creedy and the garden, and whatever I can scrape together from the archive files

Re: Ray's Photos
Part Two
more randomness from the print archive
Crack'd
Bristol, 2000s
Tea Party
The 'Parlour' at 186 Clyde Road Tottenham, 16/10/53. My Fifth birthday. I'm second left with the gappy grin. Others are my cousins Tony, Richard, Christine, Frances, Brenda, and June. Two now dead, one long missing, and three living in Essex
Wanna Drag?
Barney, Bristol, 1990s. This herbert played several times for England Schoolboys at football, may even have captained them
Fun on the Beach
Sallywags, late 1990s
Meld
An accidental double exposure in the camera, something you just don't get in the digital age. Bill's admiring his New Order T-shirt in the mirror, while I'm gawping at something while wearing my favourite collarless shirt. I suspect LSD had been taken. 1980s, Carlton Mansions
Merthyr Hard Man
Peter John, Goginan, 2000s
Déjeuner sur le patio
Peter John, Clive (in shadow profile), Mo. As above
more tomorrow

Slide scans first, most from the 1990s as far as I can tell
First, a few from the Trip Room
Look Out There's a Monster Coming
A Monstera deliciosa to be precise
Endpapers
Yearn
Detail
this one was up about a week ago, but the cut-down version appeared later in the archive, and I think it's better, so here you go
and a couple of skies to finish
Oldland Skyline
Silky

Re: Ray's Photos
Part Two
six more from the garden in early August
Solidago
Dahlia Bed
Sprayed Scarlet
From Seed
I'm still enough of a novice gardener to be delighted when a seed grows into a fully functioning plant:
one of several dwarf cactus dahlias
Bee Balm
Monarda, aka bergamot, tends to look a little shabby, but, true to its common name, the bees love it
Double Choke
Cut these artichokes with the intention of eating them, but they went from bud to flower before
that happened so I put them outside, where they continued to develop
back tomorrow, dog willing
