I chose to fly Emirates back to UK as it’s the only airline that flies to Birmingham International Airport (BHX). The rest fly to Manchester or London, London is a real hassle to get out of (and expensive). Manchester isn’t too bad but it’s still a couple of hours drive up the M6. BHX is […]

Malvern and Minehead
The weather has still been a bit hit and miss, it’s raining pretty hard now and was miserable yesterday. We had a few good days before that though, had a nice walk up the Malvern Hills. We didn’t make it all the way up to the top because my Mom bought a car on the […]
Memories of Minehead
The last few pics from my trip to Minehead back in August last year, the weather was pretty overcast so I went for Black and White conversion and a couple of HDR thrown in for good measure. Happy Train Man Thirsty? (more…)
Minehead – Part III – The Sunset
After our walk I suggested we headed up to the top of the hill to catch the sunset over the bay, here I captured some of my favourite pictures of all time, including my number 1 all time favourite! A couple I took from the car window on the drive up. The Moors (more…)
Minehead – Part II – A Walk Along the Seafront
Well after lazing around on the terrace all day we went for a walk along to the harbour and down towards the beach (the opposite direction from Butlins!) to get away from the people and get a bit of fresh air and exercise. It was a nice walk, along by the harbour, the lifeboat station […]
Minehead – Seaside Relaxing in the UK

Fish & Chips and a Walk by the River Severn with Sunset!
So a few days later I headed back down to town to capture the cathedral again with my sturdy tripod and the correct ISO setting..sadly it was closed by the time I got there, but do enjoy these pics of the Riverside. We started off customarily with fish and chips sitting on a bench by […]
A Walk Through Worcester Back Streets
So after the cathedral I had a walk through the deserted streets of Worcester City center. There weren’t many people around as it was a weekday afternoon and it was getting towards the time when the shops close…yeah 5.30pm Shocking eh! I had a walk through the oldest part of Worcester near the city wall, […]

I’ve been using Win2k since the advanced BETA leaked in early 1999. I took some pics […]
Food, Trains & a Wet Trip to London
Ah the great English weather is back…I’m stuck in the house again. Had a light dinner after so much heavy eating, some parma ham draped over a melon, some pork pie and carrot/cucumber with houmous and taramasalata. Topped off with a beautiful meringue pudding, fresh cream and oodles of strawberries. (more…)
