Loved the picture, reminded me of the Kertesz photograph (of Washington Park?)

It was a fine morning so I went for my allowed exercise and walked around my neighbourhood. The sun was shining, birds singing, and the magnolia and camellia were in flull flower. The cherries were not far behind. There was the hum of lawnmowers. People were in the garden weeding and planting, families out for a walk, or walking the dog. All in all a typical fine Spring Sunday morning, except it was Wednesday! We are in for a month of Sundays such as that, probably more. Stay safe and amuse yourselves. Martin

A little lemon juice is a good alternative to salt, achieves much the same seasoning result. I am sure it would combine well with fresh garlic. I might try it...

The likelhood is they will start by consolidating the back office administration: billing, accounts etc, but that could be as a service 'sold' to the subsidiaries within the group. In that way it means that ALamy could stay a separate company with its own 'face'. Indeed it is possisle that PA could move some of their exisiting, more editorial/ general stock into Alamy, especially if ALamy has a better customer base. A lot depends on why PA bought Alamy.

The other thing I do when I have 'deleted' images waiting for removal is to move the hto an 'awaiting deletion.' pseudonym. But if there are not a huge number of reedits I would ask memberservices to swap them as previously suggested so that there are not duplicates in your portfolio.

As someone else said. Appears just another kindly older lady but who over tea drops out details of the assassination assignments she undertook with the French Resistance (she is not actually old enough)

That why I love my varifocals - they live on my nose from when I wake up until I go to bed. I can usually find my nose ... ;)

Why not harness your renowned pie making skills and bribe a neighbour?

I would have thought Alamy has many more pressing matters to address than this trivialisation ... Is Alamy in business or is it a social club?

Try a coffee shop, Starbucks say, or my preference Caffé Nero - they have free wifi. I am sure if you want a beer with your wifi some pubs will be able to oblige. McDs have free wifi I believe as do many other bars, fast food places and even possibly museums and galleries., Here in Nottingham the centre has free wifi provided by the city, perhaps Liverpool has something similar.

Even if only as a starting point to get established. Especially as over-66 any resident qualifies for free travel pass on public transport, incl;uding cross-border with Northern Ireland (with some conditions).

It is working again, for me at least.

I too am having access issues from my Android tablet. Will check desktop shortly - same problem. Not much activity about the problem on Twitter.

Good luck Edo Galway is a university town and so is likely to have a lot more happening. Perhaps you will be able to make it the Irish Aberystwyth from a photography point of view An Irish colleague who went to university in Galway would have been happy to go back to live, but for the rain! Martin
