15 January 2012


We took a walk along the seafront at Westgate today, sadly a lot of the buildings are looking very rundown. I hope that they get a facelift before the summer season starts.

1 January 2012

Yesterday marked the end of 2011 and the end of the daily posts on One A Day, but it's not the end for this website. The project started out as a challenge to myself, to see if I could take and post one photograph everyday for the whole of the year. I made it through to 31 December, sometimes it was tough, but most of the time it was fun and because of that I intend to carry on posting photographs throughout this year and maybe even further.


The only difference is that it isn't going to be done daily anymore. I intend to post interesting pictures when I've taken them, hopefully regularly.


Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by and look at my photographs in 2011. Please come back now and again to see what's been going on, and don't forget to tell your friends about it.


Colin.

31 December 2011


All I found was cigarettes and alcohol - It doesn't seem that many years ago when vending machines like these were a common sight on walls outside of newsagents and corner shops. This old Senior Service cigarette vending machine is in Deal, Kent. The most impressive vending machine that I can remember was at Canterbury swimming pool in the early 1970s. You inserted some coins and after a short wait a portion of hot salted chips was dispensed. Discovering this machine after living on the edge of a cliff in Cornwall was like being promoted from The Flintstones to The Jetsons.

29 December 2011


Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg - Both Lin and myself have had colds all over Christmas, but today mine has taken a turn for the worse and developed into the deadly Man Flu virus (no, I'm not exaggerating, it is deadly!). So all week, fresh lemons and root ginger have been our best friends, and probably because I've also been adding raw garlic to the mixture they have been our only friends.
