Now that I am living in sunny Australia, this snow picture brings back fond memories. It shows snow covering the back garden of our home in Cam, Gloucestershire, in about the year 1980.

Darkroom in the snow c.1980

This is only a shed but, for many years, this was my personal darkroom. It had its own power supply for the MPP enlarger (medium format and 35mm), with Ross 80mm enlarging lens. A piece of black plastic covered the window. Unfortunately, the shed wasn't light-proof, so I still had to wait for darkness to fall, before I could my outside darkroom.

Not the prettiest view of a town centre, but this was how Dursley looked like at the end of the 1970s. The large building is the Market House, built in 1738. Today, in 2014, the shop fronts have changed, the geometry of the road is different, and the shop on the right 'Wilkes' has been demolished.
