The
Barkby
This video diary was made by Barkby resident Nick
Toms and edited down to a short film for Charnwood Arts by Adrian Towell to
show life in the villages of Barkby and Barky Thorpe around the turn of the
millenium. Nick didn't stop there though.

Croxton Animals

from far flung places.

These photographs were taken on a day out in the woods with my children. The
manipulated photographs were based on a rock we played shadow games with -
fantastic creatures and inhabitants of the forest!
