I’ve left the house 2 months in a row. Various trips to London and York
York:
A few pictures from the other week of a slightly long route on the way to my hotel (I went in the opposite direction)
Signage:
There was one more sign from York but I didn’t get a decent picture ‘Sorry, no food in the orchard.’ I guess an apple would have been ok though?
Another trip for work and another town crossed off. Trip to the birthplace of Simon MacCorkindale :)
Only managed to get a few shots of the cathedral
Took a trip to Switzerland the other week, here is a few pictures – Full set here
Also I don’t make a habit out of taking pictures of my food, however I did make a couple of exceptions:
This time for Godson #1’s birthday so we took a trip to the war museum so he could look at all the interesting planes and vehicles. We walked across Tower Bridge and then I finally got to see the Crown Jewels . . . at Hamleys :)
Spent a few nights in London training for work, took my camera just in case. My room was on the 11th floor, so saw some nice sunrise/sunsets.
Most of the museums were closed once I finished training each day so could only take photos from the outside at night on 2 days. One day we did finish a bit early so while most of the delegates headed to a pub I headed to the museums but still only had an hour to explore. They don’t make buildings like this anymore
Made another trip to London the following week, so had another extended walk to my destination.
I spent a day in the country, this was the closest house I could see 
Spent the day surrounded by excitable dogs, curious cats and hard working horses. Never did see the cat called Houdini though :)
Having lived in a major town the best part of my life I’d also never seen so many house martins and jackdaws before and I’ve just discovered how soft the skin on a horses nose is, I normally don’t get too close to animals bigger than me.
Started in London on Friday for work, so I took a detour to St James’ Park and around Horse Guards Parade. Finally got the image of Big Ben within the London Eye from Waterloo Bridge :)
Then on Saturday I spent the day in Oxford taking my Ma to see the Jersey Boys. Good production, not what I expected. We’ve gone plenty of times to see what I wanted and my Ma really wanted to see this. I enjoyed it.
Last week I went to the HP Studio Tour (again)
A few differences noted – apart from the Hogwarts Express which is a brilliant addition
Family guinea pig Gizmo was running around in his indoor pen when I sat near him he tried to lick my leg, hands, toes, anything he could find. He gave up and decided to lick my shorts!
Sniffing my leg
Licking my shorts
He also lost his balance when having a clean and completely rolled over. Only blurry pictures available
I fell over :(
