More about me
stained glass researcher,map enthusiast, traveller Link
language pedant
Latecomer to geograph (07/07/07), when most local squares had been "taken", 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!GotY shortlists in 2007:
- and in 2008:

whereas I prefer these:

Incidentally, I love panoramas, which are not always popular with the moderators!
e.g.
and, if you like panoramas, have a look at the panorama gallery I compiled: Link
I've also attempted to launch another gallery - a bit of a slow burn: Link
In January 2008, I reached the dizzy heights of 156th on the points table! But I was then away and my star has declined!!
Now for some controversy: my alternative GotY 2008! I'll try not to repeat themes (which makes it hard when a better version of a theme comes in a later week) and I won't choose the same as the official GotY....In later weeks, I have chosen equal firsts to be even more different from GotY itself.
