We took the train to Derby to begin a cycling weekend in the Peaks District with Roger and Danielle. Lovely views and a nice ride along a disused rail line which is now a cycle path.

We took a day trip to Portsmouth to visit the Historic Dockyards, the home of many ships including the recently raised wreck of Henry VIII's favourite warship, the Mary Rose. The artefacts that survived over 500 years at the bottom of the harbour were amazing, as was the skeleton of the ship herself.

Due to a new improved rail link to Banbury we made a trip on the train (with our bikes) to visit Banbury. Such notable sights as the Banbury Cross and such delights as Banbury cakes were enjoyed.

Early 2009 we headed to Henley (a Town close to Oxford), Exeter (a town a little further away) and Devon. We also called into Stonehenge for a look while it was cold

I was wondering around London in November when the weather turned "Wet". So I headed to the British Museum and checked out some interesting old stuff. I also got some nice panoramic pics of Trafalgar Square, as well as some of the Christmas lights on Regent and Oxford Streets.

Kate decided to get us together to climb stuff, fall down stuff, jump from stuff... all for her birthday pleasure. It was a great day!

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon, so I went for a wonder into town to see what what going on. It's "meat hanging" time in the Covered market, a true sign Christmas is coming!

The annual Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. It's usually cold, but there's always the bratwurst and mulled wine!

Our Christmas dinner was a BBQ roasted goose this year. The chilly weather didn't put me off, but I didn't hang around outside to watch the action I must admit...

Simple idea for a holiday, head south for some sun during winter. The south of Spain, that will do! Good food, good wine...

Another day in London, this time I visited the Imperial war Museum. They had several exhibitions, but I think the entrance hall was impressive with their collection of Machinery.

Our trip to Malta was a lovely summer vacation. An excellent occasion to ask Kate to marry me! The buses around Malta were really neat, the beaches were warm and the buildings were old. A great mix.
