May Day 2005
We had the first of two bank holidays in May yesterday. It was nice to have a longer weekend and the weather wasn’t to bad for most of it either. On Sunday we had an afternoon of wandering around the Docklands area and then spent the later afternoon at a pub called the Dickens Inn […]

Early morning walk
Hopefully I’ll have our photos from the Scotland leg of our Christmas/New Years break up at the end of this week. In the meantime I have a photo from a walk I took along the Thames this morning. Gary suggested last night that I might want to come in early and take photos of the […]
What we did on our holidays

A trip to Highgate
On Saturday we went back to Highgate, primarily to visit the Cemetery. We’d been before with Jenny, Amanda and Daniel but had not entered due to the woman at the gate. There are regulations about what you can wear into the cemetery and on the previous day, in the middle of summer, some of us […]
Howard Shore Talk
Yesterday afternoon we set off into London in the direction of the Royal College of Music. We were off to see a talk by Howard Shore specifically dealing with his work on the Lord of Rings movie soundtrack. There was also to be a signing afterwards, so we had a few goodies lined up to […]
The London Eye and other things
This weekend has been good. On Saturday we started nice and early and took a ride on the London Eye. I’d noticed earlier in the week that the weekends weather forecast was good and thought that it might be a good time to do one of the ‘London touristy things’ so booked ahead for a […]
