We headed over to the Frankfurt market in Birmingham at the weekend. This brought back memories as it was in New Street 12 months ago that we had our wedding reception. Had it not been for the bad weather last year the plan had been to take some wedding pictures around the market but as […]
The last mini break of the year… A weekend at butlins. Weather hasnt been bad at all given the end of October date although its now 4am Monday morning and its tipping it down outside…and the car is half a mile from the apartment 🙁 The highlight was ant driving a proper car round a […]
Just finishing a few days in Devon. Ilfracombe and woolacombe. Exmoor zoo was really good. Spent several hours there on Saturday and woolacombe beach today. Weather has been fantastic. We are at the start of April and it’s been June and July weather. People here are really friendly. Back to work tomorrow afternoon after around […]
We don’t get out much (ahhhh) but we are making an effort, and given that it was my 40th the other day and we got married last month, we arranged to go to a One Night of Queen do at the New Theatre, Oxford last night. The drive down was very good – an hour […]
Friday to Monday, 400 mile round trip and so far, a pile of rain. Leaving work early on Friday afternoon helped avoid some traffic and lessened my holiday day requirements. However the A11 coming off towards Norwich was very slow (about 10 MPH) but the overall journey took just under 4 hours. Since then its […]
NIA in Birmingham. Good day had by all I think. Video clips and photo’s below Monster Jam

On what is likely to have been the last decent day of the summer if the current weather forecasts are going to be right (when are they ever?) we went to West Midlands Safari Park. To be honest its gone downhill. They sell food on the way in and then only allow you to feed […]
We’ve just had a few days away at Brean in Somerset (near Weston-Super-mare). It was unfortunate that Weston hadnt yet get its new pier open – Summer 2010 apparently doesnt include July 🙁 Pontins at Brean was “nice” but boy does it need an overhaul. A lick of paint across the entire site wouldn’t have […]
Headed down to Milton Keynes yesterday for a friend/colleagues office christmas bash. Comedy club and Travelodge. Got in at 1.30am, listening to traffic go by at 2.30 am while I was typing this up as a draft and at 4.30am, a bunch of t**sers downstairs at the travelodge were outside chatting away like it was […]
