But first...
Dulltown, UK: Today's wrinkled old black and white snapshot is the one of me and Veronica Lake chatting over a cup of tea on the set of Sullivan's Travels back in 1940.
What a very good film that turned out to be! Click.

Hey up, dear reader!
Three or four weeks ago, I realized that I was running out of new photographs to show on these pages. I thought that I should really go out and take some.
But where would I go? This is Dulltown after all.
So, I headed vaguely for the town centre, but by way of the nearby industrial area, wide noisy roads, and then the Marina, packed full of pretty ugly white painted yachts and boats. Then I nipped across the lock gates to the pier, and looked at the people drinking beer outside the pub there, the Minerva, and then at the flat muddy brown water of the River Humber. Oh, look across there, that is the very ugly large aquarium, The Deep - people go there - and they look at fish.
I didn't take any photos, though. No, not one.
I decided to slip by the town centre on my walk home, and headed back through the industrial part of town. In the last fifteen minutes of my walk, I took seven pretty nice pictures...
Perhaps, you'd like to see one of them, dear reader?
Hm... Yes, this is a fine bit of painting, on the side of a pub. I think the pub is called the Inkerman Tavern, it's on Alfred Street. It has fish, very nicely painted, on several of its walls.
Good eh?...
