I'm hoping to be back to work soon following my hospital stay and diabetes type 1 diagnosis.
My co-worker Will, the chap who writes my captions, is delighted and so am I. Can't wait to get stuck in!

WW2 Arnhem veterans talking to me at Eden Camp, Yorkshire.
That's a photo one of them is showing me- taken by the Germans when he was shot in the arm then captured.
Marvellous chaps, one wrote to me and said it was a privilege to meet me! Other way round I thought.

Frustrated my newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes is keeping me in at the moment due to crashes.
I'm consoling myself by looking at my old work & websites of other photographers who inspire me.

It's only when you have to rely on the NHS that you realise how bad it's become in third-world Britain.
With my symptoms, I'd have thought a week for my blood test then 2 more to check results is too long.
I've worked for a German firm who make machines for Africa which can do it in a day.

I'd better get the drive sorted out- my Christmas present has arrived early.
Not all of them obviously- that would be greedy!
Just the 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale in red, top-second in from right.

Rothwell's 'Jesus Hospital', founded in 1586 by local benefactor Owen Ragsdale for the purpose of accommodating single, widowed, old men. In recent times it was converted into flats for married elderly people.

Not far from the city of London are several small beaches alongside the Thames. I visited one as part of the Barcroft TV crew, photographing and filming bubble artist Sam Sam, Bubbleman, renowned for creating spectacular displays with just soap and water.

Nearly time for the Sunday phone call to my mum and dad. Both in their nineties.
I took this in their eighties, using a pop up Indian hand painted collapsible background in their house.
I realise how lucky my bro, sis and I are that our parents are still around- not everybody is so lucky.

Coffee, and more specifically, 'Bulletproof coffee' starts my day. A teaspoon of MCT oil, a knob of Irish butter,(no yak butter available), and I'm ready to kick-start my day!
See, we English don't all drink tea ;-)
