More about me
FIRST of all, have a look at my panoramas gallery, now unlocked again!!!Link
OK - I'm a stained glass researcher,
map enthusiast, traveller,
language pedant (I'm told that should be "linguistic pedant")
Latecomer to geograph (07/07/07), when most local squares had been "taken", I got hooked pretty quickly. My heartland is East Suffolk, where I was born and grew up, and Norfolk, where I lived for nearly 30 years!
GotY shortlists - 2007:
2008: 
and I like these too:
Incidentally, I love panoramas, which are not always popular with the moderators!
e.g.
and, if you like panoramas, have a look at the panorama gallery I compiled: Link
I've also attempted to launch another gallery - a bit of a slow burn: Link
- The idea is to collect locations that have figured in creative writing. Also this: Link for those who like sand patterns. And finally, for the übergeek Link - a world of blue plaques etc.In January 2008, I reached the dizzy heights of 156th on the points table! But I was then away and my star has declined!!
Now for some controversy: my alternative GotY 2008! I'll try not to repeat themes (which makes it hard when a better version of a theme comes in a later week) and I won't choose the same as the official GotY....In later weeks, I have chosen two equal firsts to be even more different from GotY itself.
