Pen-y-coe Press.

After our writing group today, I wandered a few yards up the road to blip Pen-y-coe Press. It’s a part of my mission to document local landmarks - though posterity may not appreciate my gesture. “The Press” was purchased for the community trust four years ago and is now run by volunteers selling printing services, stationary and art materials with the intention of incorporating a printing and paper-making museum in due course though, in reality, most of the shop is a working museum. Today, the outside looks exactly as it did when it first opened in the mid ‘60s, or so I am told, and the inside hasn’t changed much either. Unfortunately, from the photographic point of view, there are always cars parked outside it, so I may have to return on a bank holiday and hope that all the nearby residents have decided to spend the day at the seaside.
 
As chance would have it, tonight should have been competition night at the camera club, but the judge seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. Consequently, the members had to suffer some ill prepared presentations including one from myself about Blip, and what I do with it, although the remit was merely to avoid having presentations from the usual suspects. The secretary had been dropped in it and took the responsibility of doing a technical presentation without having had sufficient notice to do any preparation; needless to say, what should have been a very interesting technical demonstration on luminosity masking became something of a shambles. I’ll just have to turn to YouTube to learn all about it.
