The Needles at dusk.

Photo taken on Sony Phone at dusk from our (unofficial) camp on the IoW. If you avoid the Victorian tourist towns on the East coast this is a really unspoilt island. The only town I would visit over and over is Cowes. It's very colourful and jolly, loads and loads of boats, pretty little streets and marinas, shops and eating places. Just love it! Like being "abroad" which I suppose it is as you have to get there by boat! W :-)

Isle of Wight


Was supposed to go to Knoydart again NW coast of Scotland but the forecast was severe gales, horizontal rain and 1 deg C. No fun there - so finished up on the Isle of Wight. Camped at an 1860's battlement hiding from the wind and overlooking the Needles. Lots of sunny weather and some great cliffs, some are higher than the White Cliffs of Dover. (not many people know that!) Here are a few pix taken on my phone...

Melvyn Warren-Smith Exhibition

Well. First night was last night for Mel's art exhibition. Fantastic turnout. Sold quite a few paintings in the first hour. Loads of magazine articles published about him. Show goes on until Monday 4th May. Must get it all on his website now! Lots of nice comments about the website and all the print items I did for him. Including two wacky posters to use as direction signs for his remote location. Met a lot of cool people there!   Warwick. :-)
