Not that you are counting the minutes or anything HG

We don't have anything to burn wood or coal. No chimney on our wooden house.

Keep warm everyone.

And there`s me trying to find ways to stay cool and dry and the grass needs mowing twice a week.
C&C welcome.

Something for Vic:
***************
A young real estate was pushing hard to sell an apartment to an old codger.

After highlighting its many features, he ended his routine with: "Remember, Mr Brown, this is an investment for the future."

"Listen, young man," said Mr Brown wearily, "At my stage of life I don't even buy green bananas."

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

This site has it : http://www.artistssignatures.com/monograms.php?page=3&letter=h but you have to sign up to find out who it is. I guess it depends on how desperate you are to know whether it is worth it or not.

Edit a bit further digging suugests Henri Le Jeune.

Thank you very, very much indeed for that Gwyn. I had in fact come across that site but did not particularly wish to sign up to it if it could be avoided. Your suggestion though of Henri Le Jeune is spot on. Initially (no pun intended) I thought the initials were H L. It was late in the day before I had the notion it could be H J L or some combination of those three letters and by that time I needed to retire to bed. Before doing so however, I thought there's nothing to loose by posting for help here in this fountain of knowledge that is the Pentax forum, and I'm glad I did so.
I googled his work and found the art that I was looking for so please accept my deep gratitude for the the time you took to research this.

skipping across water, flying through trees and the leap from the bridge at the end. Epic. Don't even think the sound track could have been better.

Never seen TOWIE. Living here has it's advantages

Nothing wrong with (parts of) Essex, but it's a bit colder than the last place you went.
