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?
Was helping my Nan look for something over the weekend and found a letter from my Great Grandfather to my Grandfather giving him permission to marry my Nan!
I still suck but I am getting better at hitting my targets
Notes:
Books: 2 years without re-reading Harry Potter, Godson is just starting to read them so good time to refresh my memory.
Films: Jurassic World and the Jungle Book the best of the bunch
Seasons: Highlights Stranger Things, Lie to Me which I had not seen before and Private Eyes which I’m pleased it will at least have a second season, don’t think it will survive much beyond that but it’s a good Castle replacement.

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 was still rubbish at completing my goals this year :(
I did much better on my personal ones, however I do need to spend a fair bit of time on my websites, they’ve been a bit neglected lately as I’ve been working on helping someone with theirs
Notes:
Books: I really should have re-read Harry Potter, that would have added another 7 :)
Seasons:Also a bit of a cheat as I watched the entire season on Forever twice :)
Music: My only met target for the year

Visited Bournemouth earlier this week. When better to go when it’s overcast and not a lot of people about. It was still a warm day
The next day we visited the Liberty’s Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre. Lots of owls, lizards and a good displays to show their abilities. I especially liked the Speckled Owl which sounds like a guinea pig chuckling :)
Managed to spend a couple of hours at Henley this week. At one point I had a great unobstructed view of the entire length of the course. I saw also some awesome paddle steamers
