On Sunday we had booked tickets for a Finn Brothers concert. This was a special fan-club only concert that I had found out about. I dully joined the club and was then able to purchase tickets. The concert was held at the Regents Park open air theatre which is normally a venue for outdoor Shakespeare […]

The last weekend of summer?
Our trip last weekend was taken in the company of Paul and Jen. Paul works on the HelpDesk with me. We had picked up a hire car on Friday night and set off early on Saturday to go and pick Paul and Jen up from their flat in Notting Hill. After picking up our companions […]
Gallivanting to Eagle Heights

Air Show
Some shots from the airshow on Sunday. We had great seats in the ‘Friends of the Royal International Air Tattoo’ grandstand.

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 […]
