Mrs Fat Lad’s Seb Rogers Photography Course Fun: Sunday
March 24, 2009 – 6:07 pm
A better nights sleep had us ready for the day ahead and once the big breakfasts had been devoured by all over yet more bike chat we headed into the coach house for the last classroom session. The day was to concentrate on shot composition initially and the rest of the afternoon daylight on whatever […]
Mrs Fat Lad’s Seb Rogers Photography Course Fun: Saturday
March 20, 2009 – 9:49 pm
Ever so slightly roasted by our room we were the first to reach the breakfast table. A poor nights sleep coupled with feather pillows had brought back Sarah’s previously almost non-existent asthma. The better half of the Shaw double act made the decision to take up Mike’s offer of locations to drive to minimising the […]

Speeding South after the grind Sarah’s car had been loaded in a luggage tribute to Tetris. Only 3 hours in we stopped over in concrete bland nastiness of a cheap motel chain for the best nights sleep we could manage. Once more in the automobile the road trip ended only a few hours later with […]

Another big ride done: GPX TEST That’s two for two. March will see us hit Ladybower for a loop to keep the (at least) one big ride a month going. My legs are still cooked Wednesday though…. Mrs Fat Lad is a giddy as a school girl for the upcoming Seb photo course and I […]
Fat Lad’s Hope
February 25, 2009 – 1:51 pm
Due to drinking commitments for the Saturday evening and the very high probability of a hangover on the Sunday I managed to drag Pete out of his hibernation long enough to recon for a future ride. Leaving the dry central heated abode to drag the skill compensator out of the garage I propped it up […]
Fat Lad Photo Special
February 7, 2009 – 10:39 pm
First up, this photo was missing from the last write up: I’m sure you’ll agree that the below tale of cold weather is now complete. Secondly, we looked after my neice last night and this morning we baked. In between making chocolate nests she also conjured up smily faces. Apparently this one is me: The […]
Fat Lad is so unfair……….
February 2, 2009 – 8:30 pm
Now there is lots of snow outside at the moment…… enough to do proper snow angels and have to walk to work because my german piece of shite engineering car won’t get up the drive in the snow! Anyway.. The demon photographer in me thought it would be FANTASTIC to leave one of Al’s bike […]

FL in FL: Thursday
January 9, 2009 – 2:06 pm
Thursday The thing about holidaying with my wife is that because of her insatiable need to experience new things and see, well, everything I rarely get a lie in. “Let’s get up really early and go photograph the dawn. It’ll be fun…” Uh Uh? Alrighty then. So when the opportunity does arise I try and […]
