I certainly have - I just hadn't gone through everything yet. Here are a couple more for now:

Thanks.

James, just been browsing your homepage (quiet morning at work, no bodies). Some of the images seem awfully familiar & Im fairly certain I've seen copies in a gastropub (think it was called The Angel) in Bowness on Windermere. Were they yours?

Superb pix Jimmy. Some of the best I've seen.

They could almost make me fond of the old tub.

Great photos Jimmy. It looks like it was nice day on the Tyne.

 

Keep up the good work.

Not unless my "fame" has spread a great deal more widely than I had thought! Last time I visited the Lakes the gastropub concept hadn't even been thought of!

 

In any case I'd guess that they are unlikely to be mine as the images on the site are deliberately very low resolution to prevent people printing them. I' wouldn't have though it would be possible to print anything much larger than 6" x 4" and even that would look pretty crappy.

 

Were there any particularl images that looked familiar?

You are too kind G.

 

Perhaps if Ms Marlow is looking in, she might link a print or two for her office wall. My charges are low - 14 days on QM2 should cover it (itinerary not important).

It was indeed Eddie - unusually fine for Tynemouth.

Can't find it now( pressure of works increasing), but, if you'll forgive the technical description, the one that sticks in my mind was an orange tankerish thingy, moored midriver.

Sorry, but the Alzheimer's has kicked in. I'll probably remember more about 02.00.

That sounds suspiciously like a compliment!

Suspect all you like but you have no proof.

It wouldn't have been hard to get better weather than when she was on the Forth! Boy was it wet and windy.

 

Eddie :)

WOW...as always Jimmy, your photos are fabulous. She looks incredible. Thanks for sharing.

 

Cheers, Penny
