Without getting into the politics, I strongly believe a short sharp lockdown would have made a huge difference a few weeks ago. We're fighting against exponentials, every single day is significant.

Unfortunately it seems that the delay has led to a situation where a longer, more disruptive lockdown is necessary.
+1

I also believe that money would have been better spent helping businesses bolster their collection or delivery systems, not opening pubs or “eat out to help out”.

I’m also very intrigued by this. Looks like a very interesting development.
Looking forward to hearing updates about how capable (or not) the focus is.

Typically what you paid is a good starting place. If they’re particularly desirable then current ones for sale on eBay or online retailers helps with generating a price.
I know Lennybloke recently sold one too so a search in the classified section would help you prove yours too.

Keep spamming, these are cracking (as per).

The photo is a "spare" chilli plant - the main ones are currently producing nicely, this one never got re-potted but didn't want to die off, so it's surviving in a tiny pot
Ha! I have to say I love a good dollop of spice. Looking forward to my Apache Chillis fruiting in the future. Apparently a similar heat level to Habanero so I’ll probably make some sauces from them... or try it in a mango chutney.

Lovely high contrast stuff here J!
How are the chillis? I’ve recently planted some myself (wrong time of year I know...). Was expecting one or two little shoots but I’m up to a grand total of 10!

Llongyfarchiadau! That’s congratulations in Welsh and takes some doing after a couple of pints.

So I have had a mid life crisis and have started my degree course studying B.A Hons in Photography.

First item on the agenda to break the ice was a walk around Cardiff shooting to briefs, one being covid-19, how its shaped the city and how shop fronts have been impacted. Here are a few images I shot on the day:

Congrats on starting the BA! Which uni is that with?
Great shots by the way -I think I prefer the blacker tones of the coat in red shot, second to last.
Interestingly I very much recognise Queens Arcade from the pictures.
