Just quickly here is another shot from this morning that has been modified to make it more interesting. It now looks more like a graphic art piece I think. The Millennium Bridge
Something new
This week I took delivery of a new camera and lens. I am now the proud owner of a Canon EOS 350D digital SLR and a Canon 17-40 f4 USM L lens. The primary reason for buying the camera is an effort to save some money when it comes to our trip to Africa later […]
Catching up on the recent past
I know I promise these things and never do them but times are a changing. I’ve updated all the galleries on this site (i.e. London Snow, Hemel Hempstead, Jim’s Wedding and Our Wedding) to the new style and have added two more of our past trips: Prague Venice
A night with the Goths
On Wednesday night we attended a concert at the Barbican Centre in London. This was the first time we’d ever been to the Barbican for anything other than work events (the Barbican being next to work). The concert was for a band called ‘Dead Can Dance‘. The music of Dead Can Dance treads the line […]
Wednesday night with Garbage
Wednesday night was another concert, this time a special fan-club only concert for the band Garbage. We went with Paul and Jen, Ben and a bunch of other people from work. Being a fan-club concert there was a large contingent of die-hard fans and upon entering the venue (La Scala in Kings Cross) there was […]
Finns and friend
We saw the Finn Brothers in concert last night. It was a concert tinged with sadness due to the death of their fellow bandmate from the Crowded House days, Paul Hester. The fourth Crowded House member, Nick Seymour, made an appearance last night having flown in from Ireland for Monday nights concert. He stayed for […]
Easter with Jenny and Darren
We spent Easter with Jenny and Darren up in Grantham (east midlands). We travelled out each day and visited locations such as Sherwood Forest and Lincoln Cathedral. You can see photos and read about them here.
Sunrise from Mt Sinai
No, we didn’t just go back to Egypt for a day, this is a photo you may have seen before from our travels last September. On top of Mt Sinai we watched the sun rise and it was a peaceful, beautiful experience. Or at least it should have been. Fighting your way through crowds of […]
Walking in Brentwood
The coming of spring has been rather abrupt in England this year. A little over a week ago there was still widespread frosts all over the country and the temperature was hovering around 5 degrees. All of a sudden last week the sun came out and we’ve been getting temperatures of 15-20 degrees which is […]
Just quickly
We saw Missy Higgins perform the other night, this is her. Missy Higgins performing at The Scala in London
The sunset heralds the coming of spring
After a few weeks of snowy weather we’re now coming into an ever-so-slightly warmer patch which probably means rain I guess. March is also the month were we see a lot of live bands, currently lined up as Missy Higgins supporting Ray LaMontagne, Rilo Kiley, The Finn Brothers and Garbage all followed by Dead Can […]
Snow dominates the headlines
At least on this blog snow is big news. This morning we have had the heaviest snow so far in London this year. Compared to the snowfall in Kent over the last week the snow we had this morning is next to nothing but it has settled somewhat and everything has that white look to […]
