MOAR Archers!
I'm one of the two scriptwriters from The Archers team who have been working on a spin-off from the main programme. 'Ambridge Extra' will launch on BBC Radio 4 Extra (the new version of Radio 7) in the first week of April.
The idea is that you'll be able to hear more stories from in and around Ambridge, and also we'll be able to go further afield with Archers-related characters.

Daily Vignette #1: Shoreham Saturday
[vimeo 20994464 w=521 h=293]
Another little project for myself: shoot short vignettes capturing the feel or an aspect of a day in under 30 seconds. This was yesterday’s.
Wonder how long this one will last? :-)
The original idea was to have these as "motion photographs" and post them to Flickr. And then I remembered that Flickr hasn't yet got its act together to provide iPad and iPhone compatible video yet, so I went with Vimeo instead.

Another photo from the most recent roll of film I shot. The film grain really enhances the effect of this image, I think.
Old & New: Film Finis Redux
A while ago, I started a project I called Film Finis. The idea was to use up all the remaining photographic film I had, enoy myself while doing so, and then switch to an all-digital future. I kinda got side-tracked with other things over the last six months, but finally, I'm going on it again. The image above is from a film I shot over a couple of weekends around Shoreham-by-Sea. In fact, it was shot on the very same walk that produced these images.
And…it is fun. It's really strange now not being able to look at the image after I've taken it; to just trust that the image has been captured. And it makes you more of a sniper - you pick and choose which images to take, rather than scattershotting, knowing you can delete anything that doesn't come up to scratch later. It's good discipline, which I need to bring back to my digital photography.
Sunday's made for beach walks…
The sun finally struggled out again today, bathing Shoreham-by-sea in a warm light that belied the cold breeze still in the air. Chilly? Yes. But not enough to stop me taking a long walk around the beach this afternoon:
Eight Years on one blog…
This is the 2,885th post to this blog - which means I've added 317 posts over the last year. That's slightly below my yearly average of 360.6. But it's not the start of a decline. I imagine blogging is here to stay for a very long time to come, and I'm convinced I'll be blogging here, in some form or another, right into my dotage...
Eight years. Eight years.
How has that time passed so fast?
