Taken before the visitor's centre was opened - the door's still boarded up.

The reason there are twitchers in some of the photographs was due to the appearance of a Sora Rail, the photographs of which are elsewhere.

There should really be more photographs of this momentous occasion, but frankly I was pissed. But in the good way.

Miscellaneous trips around Nottingham, including a bike rally, a trip up to the Castle after part of the wall collapsed, and Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem

Photos from the flight over to Italy

During the day we laughed at the suggestion that it might snow, sitting in the warm office looking out at sunny skies. Even getting into the car to go home, it was cold but clear (if a little dark at 6pm). On the five minute journey to my flat however, we went from clear, to thundery, to the first stinging flakes of ice as I put my key into the door. By the time I'd got rid of coat, bag and keys there was a tapping sound at the window, and outside was covered in a thin layer of white.

I put some food in the microwave, but decided that grabbing my camera and taking some photos was more appealing that microwaved pizza. Before it got too bad...

A walk in the sunshine around Colwick Country Park

Pictures taken just behind the Carlton Road Library in Nottingham. The light was lousy - it had snowed a few days before and was threatening to again - but although dark the images seem to have come out quite well.

A selection of mute swan pictures collected together from various other photo pages hosted here.

After doing some work in Manchester, the boys from the Freedom2 Chichester offices managed a detour via a village called Baslow in Derbyshire. I wonder how that happened? Could they be dropping someone off in Nottingham on the way instead of taking him back to work?

The Garden Café furnished us with coffees and some fine omelettes - although I had scrambled eggs and salmon on toast, Bob had another omelette instead of pudding - and then we had a relaxing walk along the Derwent. Well, it beats working.
