Bunked off school this afternoon with Brian and Ted for a spot of photographism at the Purton Hulks near Sharpness - I may put up a gallery of the outing if I get time, there were ceraintly plenty of photo ops t keep us happy for a couple of hours

We were blessed with lovely blue skies and some extraordinary light when we started out, but as the weatherists had forecast this morning, the clouds soon bubbled up from the south-west and our shooting came to a close

This shot is looking SW across the mudflats of the Severn (the tide was out today) towards Lydney and the hills of the Forest of Dean
