Sights & SoundsI think HP took us out to Belgium to visit the Euro Space Centre while trying out some new cameras – possibly the PhotoSmart 912, although I can’t be sure. I can’t be sure of date or year either so I’ve put 1995 until I know for sure. What I can be sure about is volunteering first to have a go on the Gyroscope a training device for astronauts to get them used to no gravity.

My mum died today. She’d had a couple of stokes, hardening of arteries and angina in her later years.
She was an inspiration to me – always by my side to help me the best she could with whatever I did.
She made a wrought iron garden bench in metal work night school at the age of 70. She would turn her hand to anything. Her next door neighbour had an Afghan dog. She used clippings of its fur to spin wool and made a waistcoat out of the wool for the neighbour.
She was a keen oil painter and would spend many an evening well into the early hours of the morning painting requests for her friends and neighbours and never charged a penny even though she probably struggled to afford the oil paints and materials.
As a kid she helped me with my collections, tried to help with homework although that was always a struggle, and encouraged me when I took up photography. Always there when I needed her.
She was buried in Wisewood Cemetery on Friday 29 Jan 1993
Went to see Barclay James Harvest live at Cambridge Corn Exchange with Will Cheung and Lee Frost
