If anyone fancies a copy of Home End (out of print for several years now), there's one in the shop at yorktonebooks.bigcartel.com along with the last few copies of All Gone Away and Final.

A sobering reminder of where York City FC used to be.

A bit of snow at the Devil's Arrows

1/35 WW1 British tank crew assembled and ready for priming. Having not built a kit for years I've never used Tamiya extra thin cement before and it's excellent, a big improvement on the claggy old tubes of poly cement.

Good evening from the Devil's Arrows...

Some lighter browns and some rust tones on the exhaust. Really enjoying these acrylics.

Tempting.

That'll do for today. Never really used acrylics before. Like them a lot, very easy to move with the brush. Colour is excellent too.

Planes just don't do it for me sadly. Not enough mud - but just fucking start one will you! It's a great way of wasting time you didn't think you had

During lockdown I built a Tamiya 1/35 Mk IV tank. For years it's sat on a shelf primed but unpainted. Time to slowly give it some colour.

Old ways, new years.

Tidying the garage...

Tesco just arrived with the Christmas delivery. The driver handed me the crate and said ‘There’s a couple of substitutions in there, a sprig of rosemary and a haddock’

I said to him ‘mate, this isn’t the thyme or the plaice’.

America doesn't even pretend to be Bedford Falls anymore does it? It was always Pottersville, but it knew it should be ashamed of the fact.

I love this film. Gets me every time.

A priest, a vicar and a rabbit walk into a clinic to donate blood. The nurse asked the rabbit: “What’s your blood type?”

“I’m probably a type O,” said the rabbit.

Delighted that my photo of the Devil's Arrows has been included in the rather splendid Thornborough Archaeology Group 2026 calendar. Already looking forward to some more volunteering with them next year.

Since when did Paddington become the celebrity grim reaper? A furry harbinger of death.

A vague whiff of marmalade as the darkness draws in, and you finally gasp your last breath.

Bought a cheap fisheye lens, and I love it.

A Devil's Arrow this morning.

Found a cheap m4/3 fish eye lens on Ebay and it's alright. A very dark day for #photography though.

Remember, in this cold weather birds will be struggling for food. So don't put anything out on your feeder as it will only make them reliant on handouts.
