Thursday Doors – Photo Challenge
Here’s my submission for this weeks Thursday Doors photo challenge. I spotted this note tacked to the front door of a house in the Horfield area of Bristol, UK.

Guitar Tech Photo Shoot

To mark my 60th birthday in December 2019 we decided to try a cruise. I’d never really thought I particularly wanted to cruise. Linda was more keen than me, but if you want a holiday in December it’s a good choice for us, here in the UK.
