Fast, funky and very short...

Every year in the run-up to the festive season, we head to our local garden centre where they put on a massive display of Christmassy things. It's an almost surreal experience: some things are more Christmassy than others, and some things have absolutely no connection to the season at all. But it's very much worth the effort to go visit if you're in the Amsterdam area at this time as it's great fun! These pics were taken with my aged iPhone 5...

It’s ticket touting, but for records instead of tickets.

Heard George Carrow first, but there's something about the over-layering of his vocals that I don't like. Darryl's take does nothing for me, likewise with The 3 1/2. And Stevie sounds as if he's trying too hard. In fact, they all do. But, if I were forced to choose one, then I'll go with Stevie.

No harm in having more than one copy of the same tune...

Can you be more specific about the record?

Thank you! The description is very apt - as we finished our walk at about 6pm, the light changed dramatically - and it really was a golden glow. Conditions were a bit hazy, so no real 'sunset' as such. Instead, we had this kinda yellowy light in front of us that was weak, but still bright enough to create the soft light effects and the opportunity to set the camera for silhouettes. Making most of the chances, I guess.

Come Christmas shopping, enjoy the fabulous museums, go record hunting, or just relax and chill while looking forward to some serious souling.

Weekend passes are €22.50 p/person. Don’t delay and book today! Full info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/312113989501948/ -
Long shot...

There are many, many record dealers out there that you could bargain with. For the fairest of them all (in my view), contact Pete Smith: pete.smith@freeuk.com

Thanks. That camera thingy sounds a bit too posh for me! I did take a few worm's-eye view shots - holding the camera at arm's length at ground level, shooting upwards while crouched over – but it was a bit awkward to do... and as a result the pics didn't work. Had it not been so soggy out, and I had a carrier bag or something similar, I'd definitely have been on the ground taking pics.

Thank you. That’s appreciated. Quite happy with them myself, but think they could have been better if I’d gone out with a bit more preparation. With fungi often being found on or close to the ground, even just having a carrier bag with me would have enabled me to kneel down and get better compositions. I have a small fold-up chair that would have been perfect today. Being a wuss, I didn’t want to spend my afternoon cycling around with wet and muddy knees or worse, a wet and muddy backside! 😂
