Collecting for Acorns hospice.
When you are involved in the campaign to save Britain from total EU domination and an active member of UKIP, there seems to be little time for other things in your life – which is all rather sad. However, apart from finding time for the occasional beer in the Lyndon House Hotel, I do still have one hobby which I inherited from my dear old dad – photography – I’m a bit of a snapper.
My hobby is put to good use from time to time, I usually take a lot of photos of UKIP conferences and other anti-EU events, also family events and I have even photographed a couple of weddings, which tends to be more stressful than standing in elections.
To display my photos I post them on to the Geograph web-site, there are a lot I have posted on that site of my home town of Walsall, including some I took last Sunday of Walsall’s town wharf. The reason I was there was to welcome back Dave Atkins, who is the husband of my Niece, Georgina (they were my first wedding photography), along with his pal Richard, otherwise known as ‘Trigger’.
For their holidays rather than going off to the Costas or some other suntrap, they embarked on an epic 200 mile plus voyage, in a two man canoe, around the canals and rivers of the Midlands which took them down past Worcester and back again in a circular route.
Doing such paddling deeds as this don’t usually run in our family, but in this case it was all for a good cause, which was for a local Walsall charity, Acorns a children’s hospice.
Dave and Trigger had been planning for this marathon paddle for most of the year, organising other events such as a quiz to raise funds for Acorns – all they have to do now is chase up the promised donations and in a week or two they should be handing over a nice donation to this worthy cause, hopefully a few of my photos of their return last Sunday will be put to good use too for any publicity and help Acorns.
