January 3rd – This is the entry I wasn’t going to make. I really wasn’t going to continue. Then, I had my mind changed. You can read about that later today on my main blog.

So when it came to actually taking pictures for it, I was still wrestling with whether I should or not on the way home. So, with the gorillapod at the bottom of a tea-logged saddlebag (don’t ask) I headed for the industrial estate on Maybrook Road, Walsall Wood, and then checked out the rapidly decaying Wheel inn, nearby on Lindon Road.

There’s something about the actual act of taking photos I like. It gives me a buzz. I guess, in the daily grind, and terrible weather over Christmas, I’d forgotten that. The joy of the hunt. The pleasure in finding a really good photo.

Sadly, I think it rather eluded me today.

But hey, tomorrow is another day, and tomorrow never, ever knows…

June 23rd – swinging down Maybrook Road on a wet afternoon commute, I took a look at the new factory being built there on the former site of the Walsall Wood Pit spoil heaps.Unusually, it’s a new engineering facility, which is a rarity these days. Sadly, it looks rather hideous, but it’s jobs I guess, and you can’t have everything. This land has been idle for decades and it’s good to see it now being used.
