Here's an unusual one - for some reason, BLODWEN is seen here visiting the Waingroves Quarry running shed ;)

I wonder what's afoot?

It appears that Brinsley Lodge is "full" and the shed foreman is having a fit - rumour has it that the T.I.T.S film crew have also been spotted out-and-about ;)

Could there be something special going on at the W&L?

Great to see lots of activity at the WLLR again, and a nice atmospheric 'shot' of Brinsley Lodge MPD.

As well as Halloween I guessing that filming will be taking place for another annual event shortly after, although I see they have not started their countdown clock yet!

Correct! :D

and your right Chris, but I think the countdown's delayed since this years dates are 16th and 17th of November - it's also a "Fun Run" this year with no prizes, but I expect the number and level of entries will be as high as ever since it's such a pro-active forum 8)

If you are looking for extras Gwndaf Evans my deceased quarry manager is looking for an inactive role complete with coffin. He has yet to be laid to rest.

A free download editor, "Photoscape". Highly recommended (even for computer dunces like me! ;) )

Was going to ask you a question but found the answer on Google - it does Sepia Tones. Just need to find some spare space on my hard drive - Thank You for the recommendation.

Lovely to see a spot of activity in this splendid thread. How many people take their photo snaps after Christmas and save them for the next one's cards, I know I've been sitting on a photo since February!
