The Last Three Months
My submissions have gone down in the last three months which is down to a few things. I had uploaded 20,000 images (no fanfare for that) and the cost of driving out to places is not getting any cheaper but one of the other reasons is I have started blogging more. I juggle five of them at the moment and I blame the Geograph one for starting me off on this trail. So what have I been doing Geograph wise apart from posting photos of our village hall being built? 
Well a lady who lives in Colorado contacted me about using some of my photos for a book she is writing about her mother’s life as a Mental Nurse. She did her training at Fairmile Hospital 
so I sorted out some photos of the place for her then proof read a couple of chapters which ended up being the whole book.
Reading through the first chapter which was about the training which went on at Fairmile I could follow the lady's move round the site even from the photos I have taken in the last few years. 
A trip to Newbury just after Christmas was a failure due to the cemetery I wanted to visit being closed but I did manage to get a few photos from outside which formed another Blog. 
On another chapter it was off to Peppard to get a photo of Borocourt though it is a privately owned area now I did sneak a few pictures of the house though I have not posted them on here. A couple of weeks later it was back to Peppard again for some photos of the local church 
then on to Caversham and Reading Cemetery for another purpose, one of my blogs. 
The blog was about the bombing of Reading during the Second World War which had its 70th anniversary on the 10th February. I took photos of the various areas from the bombing and linked the blog into a second one about two of the victims who were girls of 10 & 11. 
You can read my blogs here but you might want to sit down with a cup of tea.
