Just popped up a couple of small photo-galleries.

garden birds and Hook Norton brewery.

I hope to take more bird pics soon. They are changing - colours becoming more defined, feathers moving into place - as the year is aging. I think many of these were just the young from this spring's hatching.



Hooky has been brewed on that site for about 150 years, and the building itself is over 100 YO. Quite a fascinating place, with much of the original machinery still in place and - like the grist mill - working. The old steam engine isn't used as a power source any more, although it can run.
