Good capture Don. Fast shutter & spot metered. Well done.

Basildon going into tier 3 at 00:01 Wednesday so no hot breakfast. I brought cereal, and milk (powered cool box is now standard travel kit) so I'm covered for Wednesday morning. So tonight & tomorrow will be covered in the pub/restaurant.

Apparently there's a new mutation of CV 19 down here is the South which spreads faster/easier but they don't expect it to affect the jab negatively.

Once the roll is exposed, rewind and process............

Once the card is full, format and start again...........

Checked in at Basildon. All OK until I was informed no evening meal at 17:45 due to "some serious issue" and restaurant will be closed at 17:00.

I may get a meal delivered to my room if I walk across and speak to the manager....

I was told "you can eat it inside but must be out by 17:00 (then 16:15). Aye luv, no worries there!

Walked into the restaurant expecting people to be finishing their meals, ready to leave etc.

EMPTY!!!

I have never been the only person eating in a restaurant until today. TOWIE.

Steak, chips, a pint and a big smile and a bigger thank you.

Apparently all back to normal tomorrow. Asked what the issue was....no one was prepared (allowed) to say. Fine by me.

Just heard a bell ring......

from what I saw, it's snowing in Bedford Falls.

Wonderful

Good work Gareth, well photographed. Cool processing.

Best regards

All characteristically great images Barrie. They do seem familiar scenes.

As Hopkin sang in 68;

"Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours"

Who knew?

A fine aniseed flavoured apéritif .....

Last drank similar flavours back in 1984, Kirkuk, Iraq. Known there as Araq.

Calmed ones nerves during periods of intense cross border air activity.

Just a gentle nudge :
