Tor Street, Wells, Somerset. So named presumably because of the view of Glastonbury Tor from this locality.

Andre's Cafe, Wells, Somerset. I asked the couple if they would mind my photographing them and I was so intent on making a good job of it that I was unaware of the Ray Winstone lookalike character crossing the street behind them. Serendipitously, he completes the picture nicely.

Bentleys won four consecutive victories at the Le Mans 24 Hours from 1927 to 1930. Their greatest competitor at the time, Ettore Bugatti, whose lightweight racers were no match for Bentley's rugged reliability and durability, referred to them as "the world's fastest lorries”. Fast sturdy professional lenses are the Bentleys of the press photographers. They are strong and dependable. This 35-70mm was one of the early types; there have been several updates, the latest being 24-70mm for more wide angle coverage. They are really quite heavy to carry around all day.

I come here once a year to record the decline of these doors. Photographed with a Nikon D50 and an AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens.

The writers were struggling to complete the song when an inebriated Ringo Starr arrived and supplied the line about the swans.

HST arriving at Westbury at 16.24 with a power car named 'Reading Panel Signal Box 1965-2010' at the front. Photographed with a Nikon D50 and an AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens.

Nikon D2Xs with an AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens at 75mm. This is a splendidly cheap kit lens from the dying days of film cameras. They are in abundance on the secondhand market and are surprisingly capable so long as you don't bash them about. They are fabulously plastic and very light in weight.

Whilst on the subject of death, I have to observe how jolly it has become. When I was young, it was characterised by lots of stone slabs and chippings, with occasional black iron chains surrounding the grave in garlands, and the odd aluminium flower pot with holes you could get your fingers stuck in if the grown-ups lingered over-long clipping round the edges and scrubbing the birdshit off the inscription. Now it has been cheered up with brightly coloured plastic things in the shape of flowers and carriage lamps, and circular turbo fans that whizz round madly in the breeze. Adjacent to this grave there were two empty milk cartons suggesting a recent picnic. So if you feel inclined to ask, 'O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?' the answer might be in a shipment of plastic novelties sent half-way round the world in a container ship to liven up visits to the cemetery in case no flower vases are in situ, or there are no snails to be found and crunched underfoot.

Nikon D50 and AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens. The Nikon 28-80mm G lens weighs seven ounces (190g) and is a testament to what can be done with 21st century plastics technology and sticky tape. It is capable of delivering exceptionally good performance. It was available new from 2001-2006 and supplied as the kit lens with Nikon’s entry level 35mm film cameras, and so it will work with both APS-C and full frame digital Nikons. It won’t auto-focus on Nikon’s entry DSLR’s, because they lack a built-in focus motor to drive this lens. It boasts a compound aspherical element. I don’t know what that is, but it seems to work nicely. I paid £25 for mine, second-hand. It was the second copy I’d bought. I sold the first and missed its capability to deliver nice photographs.

Once it was a toy shop, full of Hornby, Lesney, Dinky, Meccano, Corgi. The window on the left-hand side had the noses of many boys pressed against it. It is a late 17th century building in the oldest part of Chippenham. The Causeway, along with Market Place and the High Street to the west of it, is Saxon in origin. Probably a much older building, or perhaps several buildings, stood here before this place was built. Note the roof has ye olde stone tiles but the lower extension has non matching slates.
