Welcome the the Croydon Advertiser ‘multimedia’ pages.

Sorry not to have been posting many shows recently, Its been pretty busy on the photo desk this past week. I made a little light hearted video with Doddi, the parrot rescue lady. We had lots of fun chatting with a fantastic Cockatoo! or, maybe not! Its a bit of fun, so I hope you enjoy it. Im not usually as rude to customers!

Anyhow, I am off for a two week holiday, maybe a bit of camping and, it’s little sitbonzo’s birthday waterpistol party which will no doubt be very wet!

Latest shows are on this page but use the search box, look through the categories or browse the archive.
