Yesterday we strode out in the afternoon to the headland of Vazon Bay where this impressive fortification I thought might offer an interesting photographic opportunity.

It was great to head off on Friday to visit our daughter Sara and partner Ben in Manchester – they’d planned a busy weekend for us and so it turned out. I haven’t done any street photography in a while and on seeing this interesting gentleman on the train I couldn’t help but secretly take

It’s quite small but has a village shop, tea rooms, garage, plant nursery, a primary school, both a church and a chapel, a railway station, plus a football pitch where
