Back in December 2008, I reached a whopping one hundred posts here on BarryHutchison.com. To celebrate, I posted a selection of random photographs I had stored on my mobile phone. You can see that post here. We’re not celebrating anything today (although, we will be celebrating something towards the end of next week…) but I [...]
