Over the next few weeks I will be developing a new blog at http://zimnoch.blogspot.co.uk
Much more image related.To kick it off,I will be stealing interesting images I find on the web.Hopefully ,over time, I will throw in a few of my own creations.......that's the plan anyway.
You should also see some movement between here+ there. But it is going to be kinda gradual ( + partial?) As a result the look here will change here too .Stay Tuned!

| Pepe |
Early in the week I went to see Pepe in Halifax.I haven't seen Pepe for a while ,so it was nice to catch up.Pepe is a fine fellow!I worked with him for several years at Social Services.He was born in Italy,but when young ,the family moved to Uruguay.In his 20s he moved to England and married a Halifax lass.

| Martin. |
He's given me the address of friends in Umbria who might help with my current building in Abruzzo.We also arranged to have a night out with me & Phil The Ex-Fireman!
Pepe tells a lovely story about how he was born in Italy!His Mum (heavily pregnant) had to take a solo bus journey in the remote Italian countryside by bus.In the middle of nowhere she began her labour.The bus driver stopped & delivered Pepe while the other passengers sat and watched![ and ,no doubt,applauded]

| Joan & Hydn |
On Thursday I attended the funeral of Margery Gladys Thorpe (Martin's Mum) in Langley. A beautiful service.You did her Proud Martin!
I went with Joan & Hydn to the service.

wow man that will be cool seeing dalai lama
You've had a rich and varied week, Tony. Love the photograph, and Gillian Welch is always a great choice.
Amazing. I really enjoyed your first photo most of all. Very precious!
I had an opportunity to visit Romania, but I went to Poland instead.
I'd love to see the Dalai Lama!
Love Pepe birth story, though it must have been scary for his Mum and the Bus Driver!!
I tried to check out your Daddy's in the basement, but couldn't access it. Your photo is too funny, if that's the daddy in the basement, he appears like a scary Bob Dylan! I'll check back later! I hope your weekend is as beautiful as ours here!
Transylvania is beautiful. Some deadly fruit schnapps distilled on the farms.
And you could take a dip in the lovely Santa Anna lake in an extinct volcano in the Carpathians on the old border between Hungary and Romania - not far off the road to Brasov.
Happy memories of days gone by.
I have some pics of that time
Good luck with your new blog, Tony!
