Colourful

The weather was a mixed bag. It looked very promising first thing but then kept darkening from time to time with sudden showers. I escaped with just a little sprinkling of rain during my lunchtime plod. It was a lovely colourful walk though as loads of trees, hedges, verges and gardens are full of flowers and blossom at the moment.

I had a productive work day and also enjoyed a webinar to learn more about the Mass Observation Project.  If, like me, you enjoy the journal aspect of blip as much as the photography then you may be interested to join in on 12th May to keep and submit a diary for the day.

“ In 1937 Mass Observation called for people from all parts of the UK to record everything they did from when they woke up in the morning to when they went to sleep at night on 12th May. This was the day of George VI’s Coronation. The resulting diaries provide a wonderful glimpse into the everyday lives of people across Britain and have become an invaluable resource for those researching countless aspects of the era.
We don’t know how life will be on the 12th May, but we would like your help to document it. Please tell your family and friends. It will be valuable to have a collection from people of all ages across the UK.”
