I may be confusing some people by going back in time a few weeks, but I believe you’ll understand why it’s worth the wait.
I’m also, of course, rather biased in my opinions! I love Barry’s photos. I fondly recall my first visit to Gisborne, from 2001 to 2002. I used to love looking at the images on display at his photography studio on Gladstone Road, Gisborne. I had no idea, at that time, who’d taken them, or that one day he’d become my best friend and husband.
Barry’s a little busy (hurrah!) at the moment running his business The Home Brew Boat, but he’s also managing to begin to focus on photography once more which pleases me a lot. He has such an amazing talent. Finding this passion again is wonderful to witness.
Check these out – there won’t be a lot of labels or commentary, the pictures are perfectly able to do most of the talking …

Jovial Jim, previously from Nb Starcross, who met Barry and stayed a couple of nights to help with locking – thank you again Jim

All set up to convince punters of the merits of brewing your own at the Etruria festival

I adore this image! The historic Working Boat Maria glided slowly past, being punted. It’s a horse drawn boat, but they couldn’t use the horse on this stretch due to the moored boats
There’ll more magnificent shots in the near future, of our travels from Etruria to Middlewich, and then on to Manchester where we’re currently moored until tomorrow.
Watch this space!
