As I wander round the villages on a Sunday morning, listening to the church bells and the birds (jealous yet?), I sometimes take small videos that I think may be interesting to you, my loyal readers.

I am now going to unleash this torrent of cinematic excellence onto the wide world and you can be a part of it.
If you right click on the links, you can download the video and savour the editing, the photography and the single channel audio for yourself.

Most videos are quite small and therefore not quite "Star Wars" quality (regrettably, video does not compress well), but if there is enough demand from broadband viewers, I will make them available in higher resolutions as well. All are in wmv format - great for Windows users, no good for Mac users. Let me know if anyone still uses a Mac and I will port them to mpg format.

If you have a suggestion for somewhere you think a video would be beneficial, please Email me

You can either just click the links below, or if that doesn't work, right click the link and select "save target as.." to download the movie - enjoy ...
