Winsford Soul

Aid. Believe it or not but Pete is now a solicitor. he knocked about with my younger brother Jeff Smith who used to go out with Janet Whittle from Penketh Ste

Aid. I think then he joined a cruise ship as a pro dancer after his stint in London, cant remember properly but something at the back of my mind is telling me that. Ste

Chris I think lived in Cuerdley cross for a while. Top lad and class dancer Ste

Think it was because we was all special needs Ste

Little Dunc, Top lad from Penketh originally. Neil Mercer from Runcorn moved up to the north east in the 80s not seen him since. Still bump into Frank booper now and then Ste

Hi Simon. Hope your well. As Barry said the only one I can think of is the sink club. 15 miles to the East of Liverpool is a town called Widnes where I was born and bred. Now that's a totally different story in the 70,s and early 80,s there was a Soul nite at a different venue 7 nites a week, it was a special place to be. Ste

Hi Peter. Hope your good. I,ve only had a camera for 2 1/2 maybe 3 years it was a canon eos 1000d with a standard zoom lens that got me interested, after 6 months I was so hooked I spent £500 on a 2nd hand camera body which was much more suited to wildlife and the elements. But its not the camera that gets the shots its the lens and your knowledge of the subjects your interested in. I subscribe to 2 photography mags. Outdoor photography and photoplus which is a Canon specific magazine. I found them invaluable. Ste

I lose out on the wide angle with the 50d but gain with the telephoto reach Ste

Got a battery grip for the 50d. Only have a few lenses though a fab 70 - 200 f 2.8L is usm mk 2 with a 2x converter plus a 17 - 40L series wide angle I also have a proper baby Canon 1000d with a 18 - 55 kit lens Ste

They growing up fast Peter, nice pics Ste

Bit behind you mate, I,m shooting with a Canon 50d. Thought it was a wild un but just had to ask. Makes it a even better shot Ste

WOW. That's a great photo Davie. Can I ask what kit you used for the shot ? and was it a wild Stag ? Ste

Love that screaming sound they make when they twisting and turning at high speed Ste

Cheers Peter, heard this years chicks earlier today, will wait a week or two before I have a look Ste

Forgot the other day to post. Seen loads of Swifts on Thursday on my way home from work Ste

Fishing at Hampton springs near Whitchurch today and yet again no Cuckoos. That's 3 areas in the last month that normally support them and nothing. That's a very worrying situation. I knew they where in serious decline but this is so sad Ste

Still waiting to hear the cheep cheep of blue tit chicks in the nest boxes this year. here,s a few pics from last year Ste Cant upload for some reason

Still not seen any swifts in Manchester. Whats happened to them ? Ste

What about Terry Callier. Ordinary Joe on Cadet Ste

Godbless you mate. Rest in peace Ste and Lou
