Nostalgia isn't what it used to be

I always loved this saying - but during my development of GhostViewer I have found it too be true

Captured this with my Olympus Pen EE - loved the half frame

I should not have sold the camera - still have the wonderful poodle

I like all my Olympus Cameras - wish they had continued the innovation

Search a shame they are not ground breaking and other camera makers such as DJI and Insta360 have taken the lead in innovation

Crowdsourcing old and not so old images of Berkshire - to help people see through time. Can you help build the collection?

I am collecting and creating an archive of images of Berkshire (and other parts of the UK) to help people see through time. The GV creation button will show a GIF of then and now.

It is easy to add an image if you like to or post one on the comments - building, streets, landscapes and more.

The link will take you to the collection.

Many thanks

Richmond Yorkshire 1945 and now

A now and then with the 'then' taken this morning. So many changes here, the Penny Bank to the left was The Yorkshire Bank when I was growing up. Heron's foods is now just the old facade with a complete rebuild behind. It was done around 1980, after which Woolworths moved in.Take a look at the old shop fronts, so interesting!

Anstruther Harbour (Fife) - 1885 to 2010, See Through Time

The original photograph shows the harbour at Anstruther Easter. The harbour is lined with large, open fishing vessels of the ‘Fifie’ type, a local design of two-masted boat which had a vertical stem and stern. Dominating the skyline is the Chalmers Memorial Church. It opened for worship in 1889 and was demolished in 1991.

From bare UK new build lawn to thriving wildlife garden (4 years transformation)!!

When we moved into our new build 4 years ago, the garden was basically just a rectangle of turf and fencing… no character, no life, nothing for wildlife.

Slowly (and very much on a budget), we started transforming it. We added veggie beds, a greenhouse, a shed, trees, herbs, flowers, and started growing our own veg. Now it’s a space full of colour, food, and constant movement from bees, butterflies and birds.

It’s still not “finished” (not sure gardens ever are..), but looking back at where we started vs now feels pretty amazing.

If you’ve got a plain new build garden it can become something special. Just start small and keep going.
