Dog catching snowball

admin — Tue, 31 May 2011 12:21:18 +0000

One of Wilson’s favourite winter images. It took several attempts to capture an image of this Black Labrador about to catch a snowball in the Argentinean ski resort of Catedral in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina

Whakapapa

admin — Tue, 31 May 2011 12:18:44 +0000

Wilson at Whakapapa, a ski area based on a New Zealand volcano, Mount Ruapehu. In the correct Maori pronunciation WH is pronounced as F. So you have to be careful when discussing Whakapapa in mixed company.

Ken Bruce

Ken Bruce, of Radio 2 fame became a good friend back in Wilson’s Fleet Street days. They still have lunch once a year.

Also from his TV days: Interviewing Edward Fox on location in Smarden, Kent during filming of Agatha Christie’s “A Mirror Crack’d”. Not a major outing for Wilson – he was living in Smarden at the time!
