About Me
I didn't discover geograph until 07/07/07 when most local squares had been taken but I got hooked pretty quickly. My heartland is East Suffolk, where I was born and grew up, and Norfolk, where I lived for nearly 30 years! I have got lots of interests and some of them surface through my geograph submissions.
My few GotY shortlistees:
2009:
won! wk 26
2008:

2007:

Seven hectads completed: TM12[8/100], TM36[2/100], TM38[2/100], TM49[10/100], TM46[2/80], TF84 [3/70], TM25 [1/100]
I love panoramas and if you like them too, have a look at the panorama gallery I compiled (now unlocked again!): Link
I've also launched 3 other galleries:

- The idea is to collect locations that have figured in creative writing...and ...
Link
for those who like sand patterns. And finally, for the übergeek...

- a world of blue plaques etc.
In January 2008, I reached the dizzy heights of 156th on the points table! But since then I haven't kept up. I've even dropped out of the top 200 for squares photographed.
The few GotYs apart, some of my own favourites:
