For the next 5 days…

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.

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.

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.

Great quote from William Golding just popped up on ‘Quote of the Day’ on my customised Google homepage:

This might well be the bridge that gives Montford Bridge its name.
