Back to Work . . .

With time on his hands Martin has built up quite a photo portfolio over the last few months - and has even sold a few through online stock photo sites - not enough to make our fortune (at 25p a time) but far more than I'd actually expected (what do I know!).

Then this weekend, while visiting with family and flicking through their Daily Mail we found that one of his photos (a seagull tucking into a polystyrene food carton) had hit the big time (as part of a wider article on cleaning up Britain) . . .

We waited with some anticipation to see what they'd paid for it - £11 - so no, we won't be living off his photographic efforts quite yet!

Monday will also see Martin return to working life proper - so less time for snapping that next headline photo . . .
