The face of capitalism
Was horrified to see that P&O have started to charge for life-jackets on the Larne ferry to Cairnryan. In the panic to evacuate your sinking ship you are expected to fumble around for 20p in order to save your life. Paupers go down along with the captain I suppose!
Heart beat
A short experimental film-poem about a short section of the Heart of Wales railway.
World premiere in a 2 person horse box cinema on a sloping field during Knucklas17. I’m trying not to let it go to my head.

And for reference, here’s a pile of horse shit.

A pair of swirling choughs just north of Clarach and a Great Grey Shrike high above Sarn Gynfelin. The day capped with a Dolphin lazily swimming 10 yards off shore to ale-supping delight from the deck of the Victoria Inn.
There’s a river at the bottom of the garden
The view from the bottom of our new garden. Cwmrheidol, Aberystwyth. In case you were wondering where heaven is…
The Impartial Explorer
Would you look at that… Belfast Newsletter a week last Wednesday – and the Impartial Reporter a week later. And all under a delightfully poetic headline.
