Botany Bay

Claire and I went to Kent for a weekend of sightseeing. We were blessed with unseasonably warm weather, although the wind was pretty strong on the white cliffs of Dover. The scenery was spectacular and it was a very relaxing weekend.

DIY

Since buying my house I have been getting to grips with DIY: putting up pictures, mirrors and shelves; tiling; painting; furniture building; plumbing and gardening. I think that I'm getting the hang of it!

Winter Lights 2014

I eventually got round to booking tickets to the winter lights at Anglesey Abbey, so I went with my family on a Sunday evening in November. THe lights were beautiful. My nephew was enamoured by the lights, but even more so by the bubble machines. All in all a lovely evening.

New House!

After years of deliberating and talking about it, I have now moved to Cambridge. I bought a 2 bedroom mid terrace house relatively near Cambridge station. It's all a bit scary, but I am very happy there and am loving the much reduced commute to work!

Flying Visit to Germany

In July 2014, I flew to Berlin for the weekend to join a reunion of many friends that I lived with in Germany. The trip involved a ridiculously early Saturday flight out, a late Sunday evening flight back and four hours in total on the train, but it was well worth it. The weather was stunning, so after quite a lot of chatting and tea drinking, we went for a walk round Halle's botanic gardens, followed by a BBQ picnic together, with the compulsory German sausages. The following day I spent in Dessau: After a walk by the river, we watched a traditional German street parade. It was fascinating to see all the costumes and historic outfits. All in all a lovely weekend, which I look forward to repeating, but next time I am spending longer there! (The photo shows all the girls and Mario and was taken by Corneel).
