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.

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.

Our motley crew of egg producers are let out of the chicken coop on a cold, snowy, winter's day, c.1980. The chickens were never keen on the snow. 22 Rowley, Cam, Gloucestershire, UK

Our pet cat, Ginger, found the most the most unusual places to sleep. This is Ginger trying to get comfortable in a tool box – with the tools still in it.

Our family pet, Ginger, eyes-up his next meal. The hamster was quite safe behind the bars of the cage and seemed unperturbed.

This 1966 Mk1 Ford Cortina was our family car back in the late 1970s. The black cat belonged to a neighbour, her name was Twinkle. This was photographed on the driveway at 22 Rowley, Cam, Gloucestershire.

Ginger, our charismatic tom cat, gets up from his slumber in the tool box, to feel the warmth of the sun in his face. The three things he enjoyed most in life were: food, sleep and the warm sun.

I like cat pictures. Here is an old photo of our pet cat, Ginger, stretching out his paws and enjoying the warmth through the window at our home at 22 Rowley, Cam, Gloucestershire. c.1978
