Last on the card – October

A relief to find this was my last photo taken in October. Not too shabby for taking part in bushboy’s Last on the Card challenge.

The rules as set out by Brian are simple:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for October.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to the post on bushboy’s blog or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”

Here’s mine with rule-breaking comments.

It might have been muddy potatoes, or a photo of West Bay, but this time it was a picture of the back of Palmers Brewery by the river. It’s hard to walk past without taking a snap, whatever the weather or time of year.

I love the water wheel, which sometimes turns, and have happy memories of being inside the building with the beery smell as my dad worked there during the 1960s. The outside looks much the same as it did in those days. It’s one of the few breweries with a thatched roof! But you’ll have to take my word for that as you can’t see it from here.

Just the other side of the bridge in the darkness is the weir where Bridport’s two rivers meet for their final mile to the sea. It features in my novel The Chicken Soup Murder, set in 2012, when a boy caught in a flood is in danger of being ‘chopped up like an egg’.

I look forward to seeing the photos you post for ‘Last on the Card’!
