York and Signage

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2017

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?


London (again)

Saturday, March 26th, 2016

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 :)


London – Museums and Sunrise

Thursday, February 18th, 2016

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.


Overcast Day At The Beach

Friday, July 17th, 2015

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 :)


Henley Royal Regatta

Monday, July 6th, 2015

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

 

 


A Day in the Country

Monday, June 8th, 2015

I spent a day in the country, this was the closest house I could see DSC_3540

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.

May Bank Holiday

Monday, May 25th, 2015

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

 


Walks about town

Thursday, March 12th, 2015

A couple of walks, one to a lake another on the Thames, spring is in the air:


Weekend Trip

Sunday, January 18th, 2015

First time I’ve been to a play where a ‘prop’ has got the largest applause. Great play, excellent use of one set.

The old train station entrance and the theatre staff in costume set the scene before the play even started.

Very cool train in a theatre and some very good but simple effects
