About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.
Pete Ashton

Congratulations!
Did that photo really come third in a flower show?? The world’s gone mad.
Full title is “Bournville Festival 2006 Flower and Craft Show”. Photography is a craft, not just an art. Aparently.
Well done Pete.
congrats
Well done. What did you buy with the £1.50?
Drugs and loose women.
I like the fact that people have had to get together to agree how much they were going to give for third prize.
Ever read Iain Aitch’s “A Fete Worse thanDeath”? Colin Irwin’s “In Search of Albion” is worth a look too. They both fit well with the English summer fete thing you’ve got going right now.
