The grand total so far is well over 366 because I didn't count these: http://www.geebeephoto.com/Walks/Furtho/index.htm http://www.geebeephoto.com/Walks/Zuikoholics_02/index.htm http://www.geebeephoto.com/Walks/Zuikoholics_02/index.htm http://www.geebeephoto.com/Walks/Bugbrooke/index.htm or the occasional updates here: http://www.geebeephoto.com/Northamptonshire_Churches/A-L/index.htm http://www.geebeephoto.com/Northamptonshire_Churches/M-Z/index.htm Now all I have to do is try to figure out why on earth someone would start a rumour that I only shoot one day a year :-) --Graham
