For the next 5 days…

…I will mostly be reading about the Trent Bridge test match. The most entertaining way to follow it in the office is by reading the Guardian’s over-by-over commentary, which can be accessed from their Ashes page here.

York

Well, the trip was a great success – we had a lovely time and, most importantly, she said YES! Here’s a couple of photos – more on Flickr.

Ellesmere

Had a lovely trip to Ellesmere this afternoon for bike rides and a picnic. Took a couple of photos – some of which are over on my Flickr page.  

William Golding

Great quote from William Golding just popped up on ‘Quote of the Day’ on my customised Google homepage: Life isn’t fair. It’s just fairer than death, that’s all.

Camping

Went camping this weekend in Montford Bridge. Here’s a few photos we took. Comments below each one. Here’s the inside view of the middle living area of our tent. The outside view of our ridiculously large tent. This might well be the bridge that gives Montford Bridge its name.
