Whitstable
A glorious day! I received more direct sun today than the last few months combined.
Park Wood
Last Sunday 3rd May we took a short drive outside of Canterbury to walk in the woods whilst Bluebells were blossoming.
Easter Weekend in Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth
I stayed in Shrewsbury in Shropshire over the Easter break. On Saturday we had a day trip to Aberystwyth (or Aber as the locals call it) on the mid-west coast of Wales. The population can reach close to 20 000 when the University is in term. In some ways, Aber is to Wales what Perth is to Australia - isolated. I’ve enjoyed sunshine and perfect weather on my only two visits there, my first trip being 7 months ago.
London Tourist and Crooner
On Saturday afternoon I travelled into London with Emily to visit the South Bank. We started from London Bridge walking towards Tower Bridge. Along the way we passed the HMS Belfast, a British cruiser that operated in World War II. It was retired from service in the 1960s and is now is a museum.
Paris Weekend
Last weekend I was fortunate enough to spend the weekend in Paris with Emily.
Morzine Snow Trip Jan 2009
Last week I was on a snowboard/ski trip in Morzine in France.
Update
After over 2 years living in Chiswick it was time to move along. I’ll have good memories of my time there however I wanted to live somewhere closer to transport, shops, parks etc. In December I moved into Richmond where I am renting a single room (sharing house with two others).
Put simply, Richmond is an awesome place to live. There are countless shops, restaurants, bars. I particularly appreciate river and parks. This is a view a few minutes walk up the street that I live on.
View from Hill Road
I will now endeavour to do more cycling around Richmond park for fitness.
Norway
I recently enjoyed 7 nights in Norway as part of a tour group. The accommodation was on the edge of the Skanevikfjord, which roughly speaking is 50 kms south of Bergen as the crow flies. It’s situated in western Norway in the heart of the fjords.
Highland Trip - Part II
On the 5th day we travelled north of Ullapool taking the coastal route where possible.
