A Snowy Day in February
Tuesday, February 27th, 2018Jack Frost visited last night
Thursday, December 21st, 2017This short 5 minute 1080P HD clip was recorded at 8.30am on the 19 December, it’s not snow on the roads, it’s just a hard frost. It’s at approximately 30 feet above the ground.
Watch as I miss a telephone line by inches, and also look out for Angus!
It gives me an idea of the road conditions before driving to work…as the first two miles of driving in rural Yorkshire can be very hazardous as the roads are NOT gritted!
I’ve had a cold for a week, so not been feeling well enough to concentrate whilst flying…

Saturday, December 2nd, 2017So today, built up enough confidence to fly at 400 feet, which is The Drone code Be Drone Safe proposed rules for safe flying of drones maximum “safe” altitude.
What I didn’t expect was the the iPhone application to crash, leaving my drone at 400 feet! It sounds worse than it did, because I was able to restart the application, re-connect to the drone, and issue a return to home.
I could have brought it home using the remote controller, which connects to the drone, the Phone and App connect to the remote controller, and in the event, it loses contact with the remote control will issue a return to home!
So panic over!
I managed to solve the issue with the App, by removing the video cache, and later this afternoon, re-visited 400 feet to take this photograph.

The first snowy day of 2017
Friday, December 1st, 2017So this is the first snowy day of 2017, the snow fell yesterday, and didn’t stop, and fell overnight…
Out just before dawn with the drone, as the sun rose – got to keep up those flying hours…

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017This blog post is long overdue, and it’s to notify you that I have now fully updated the Holiday Photograph Album, to include the holiday photographs we’ve taken on the following holidays from March 2015 to August 2017. If you are interested in looking at our photographs, there are a few….(and a special treat the Reviewer – Lindsey has included a few photos of herself, which is a rare treat!)
I’ll also include some written “narration” because I’ve removed Lindsey’s catalog numbers, the link above will take you directly to the album if you want to go direct to the photos for specific holidays, click below

I have got an excuse, as you know I was involved in a car accident in 2016, which delayed me completing the album, and it does take a lot of work, as I have to resample all the photos, and manually code the website, and that involves my brain and some JAVA! (not coffee, computer programming!), and the computer the code was on has failed!
Anyway another Task on the To Do List – Completed!
Andy get’s arty! – Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir #sculptureculture #Hull2017 @gormley_art @2017Hull
Thursday, May 4th, 2017and that’s Arty!
To get my steps up this lunchtime, I went for a walk around the University of Hull campus listening to music on my iPhone using my AirPods and followed the sculpture trail, as part of the Hull City of Culture gig, An exhibition of life-sized sculptures of human figures by Icelandic artist Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir is placed around the campus. The sculptures are here until 8th October 2017, so plenty of time to see them yet.
More info of the sculpture trail is available here, here’s a photo of the sculptures around the campus.

It does remind me of a lot of the sculptors by Antony Gormley, you know that bloke that did the Angel of the North and other stuff!

“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies.
“And whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
“But first, they must catch you…
“…digger, listener, runner.
“Prince with the swift warren.
“Be cunning and full of tricks…
“…and your people will never be destroyed. ”
Happy Halloween 2015
Saturday, October 31st, 2015In an Andysworld yearly tradition, Happy Halloween, and Welcome To The Great Pumpkin Massacre of 2015. I’ve been growing my large Atlantic pumpkin this year, which weighed just short of 10kg, I’m afraid I lost to my work colleague, who’s pumpkin weighed in at 17kg! So freshly picked from the allotment this morning, and slaughtered and carved this evening!

It has been rubbish weather this year for growing pumpkins, and very few fruits, set correctly, this was the only one, early in the year.
Slaughtered, and carved!
