A meal out with a few of my colleagues... it was good fun and the (Thai) food was lovely and tasty!

See.. spring is coming, or at least in my head it is... :)



And yes, I know it's just about sacrilege to have it stuck to the wall with thumbtacks... it's a temporary thing, I promise!

It was just a lovely sunny afternoon along the Thames:

This was so much better in real life! It is the Atomium in Brussels, Belgium. I had to visit a client and their office was just round the corner from this monument. I never knew it existed - shame on me. It was built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair.

Here is more info about it, if you want to know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomium



Does the sky predict that it snowed, when I left the office of the company I was visiting?? It did!

Another picture a day late, but I was still travelling.

This is my mother, happily posing for the camera.. but she would not smile :(

The reason for the late posting is that I am travelling at the moment.. went over to Belgium on Monday, with a colleague. Having dinner with a colleague was hard work as you can see... :)

Leftovers from the Scotland trip... all gone now!

Feb 9

And this was taken at about 10am in the morning yesterday (Feb 9th) when we drove back down from Manchester. This is a sundog and I'd never seen one before!




It was taken near Jodrell Bank at about 10am.

Scotland: This is just north of Abington, and this hill with it's trees in black (or so it seemed) stood out amongst all the white hilltops.

And what do you think of the fancy sign post?

Feb 7 - 2 photo's to make up for none yesterday!

No photo yesterday, it was work and travel up to Manchester... but on Saturday 7th we did some tourist sightseeing in the Lake District, so here are 2 pics of that set:

This is Lake Windermere, with just a sprinkling of snow about. We had more snow down here in the south, than they had had up north!




And this is Yew Tree Tarn.. which was mostly frozen over:

This is the scene that greeted me at a few minutes past 7 this morning - absolutely beautiful..
Most of the schools in the area closed for the day, so the kids had a snow-day which is a rare occurrence here in the Thames Valley!

This shows one of the reasons why his team was so happy to have Elko back on the rugby pitch: the lad in black in front of him did not get the ball...
