Charlie's WorldEaster in England 2015 – part 1
Posted on April 18, 2015
It’s that time of year again – another trip to England to see my children.
I arrived in England early in the morning and Heathrow was packed. As in 2 hour queue to get through passport control.
Luckily, I knew the epassport gate was on the left of the line, so I wiggled through to the unloved machines and was out within 15 minutes.
Fremantle
Posted on December 12, 2014
My beautiful wife and I decided to go to Fremantle for a) coffee, b) so she could get a septum piercing and c) for lunch
It’s a great place and we go there a lot. 30 mins drive from our house, it’s a proper town (unlike the shopping mall town centres that blight Perth’s suburbs) with a strong focus on food and drink and places to sit and watch the world go by.
It’s also a quirky place fully quirky people.
Including one amazing character, Mr Horatio T Birdbath.

I woke up stupidly early today for no good reason, so I decided to take advantage of the morning.
Firstly, I chatted to some friends in LA (hi Amanda, hi Tim!) and then headed out on my motorbike to have some ‘me’ time before anyone woke up!
Point Peron and surrounds
Posted on November 22, 2014
I went out for a ride on the bike in the afternoon sunshine last weekend. Not too hot, not too cold – perfect.
I’ve taken snapshots, proper pics, family pics and on-the-way-home-iphone photos of every inch of the local landscape (or so it would seem) – so these are just repeats.
But its so pretty, so my care factor is low 😉 Read More
Ride out to Lake Clifton

It’s heating up here at last. This year the temperatures have been stubbornly slow to get going, with only a fews days so far over 30C. I’d even go as far as saying that a few days last week were actually chilly.
But the last couple of weekends have been just about perfect. Perfect for a few photos with the new X100T too.
Last weekend, I went out on the motorbike to see the thrombolites at Lake Clifton Read More
Hello X100T
Posted on November 8, 2014
As you may remember, my X100 was totalled when I was hit by a rogue wave at Point Peron a few months ago.
I had it checked out by an authorised camera repairer, but no surprises, it was properly dead.
But I’m insured, so thanks to RAC, it only took a short while before I had a cheque in my hands and I could look for a new camera (actually, the cheque came later than my clicking ‘buy now, but that spoils the narrative)
