Long exposure

As the river runs along the valley in Stacksteads.

Tyre swing over the river too!

Discovered by myself and Herb this morning, as we went on a walk new to him.

Any comments welcome and no I didn't have a go on the tyre swing :)

This little lady seemed a bit camera shy but peeked at the camera every now and then...no smile offered.

This was taken on one of my fitness runs, read my heart attack to 10K blog .... peterjemmett.blogspot.com/

The neighbours put up a tyre swing for their kids. I haven't seen the children use it much recently but this squirrel was having a good look a few days ago.

I was recently asked by Manchester based web design and branding agency Creative Spark to turn their (already astro turf floored) meeting room into a garden.

So I did.

Have you ever run away from something because you were scared, or not ready, or just...just because you could?

Today we got a new car, so now is the time to start getting nostalgic about my 1971 Kombi which I'm going to sell, after 9 years of ownership. It's my turn to be one of those wistful, ex-Kombi owners who walk up to me in car parks and say "I used to own a Kombi"...

This is me and my brother on the tyre swings in our backyard. I must have been 5 years old, which makes my brother 3. This photo was taken by my mum just after my dad hung the tyres up in the willow tree. You can see the long strands of the willow hanging down from the top of the frame.

I don't know if it's some sort of "Wind in the Willows" cultural memory or what, but I LOVED that tree. It really had a sort of a fairy-tale feel about it. The tree dominated our back yard. Part of the tree's appeal for my brother and other friends was yanking down the long strands, stripping off the leaves and using the braches as a long whip!

Looking at this image, it's not just the willow tree that evokes rose-coloured memories of care-free childhood days. It's also that when I look at it again after so many years, I see not just my brother and I, but also I see my own children in there.

My children now are almost the same age as my brother and I are in this image and I see so much of them in there. I see the girly-girl with the dress-up shoes and the cheeky barefoot boy. I see the generations extended and duplicated. I see the power of nature and nurture in one frame.

Nurture does play a role; that back yard has made me part of who I am today. But you can't escape genetics.

Eventually, the willow tree got chopped down, the house got sold, I grew up. So will my own children step away from their parents and forge their own path, and build their own swings.
