Don't sit down

We'll watch the sun coming up

Pre-dawn drive back to Bristol this morning for Christopher to start a new job. It was wonderfully misty and sunrise on the M42 looked much better than expected!

Fly me to the moon

Or failing that, Stansted. Back home in England now; briefly in Cambridge and on to Bristol unreasonably early tomorrow. Wonderful holiday but I suppose we have to get back to reality eventually...

Beautiful Briny Sea

Went sea kayaking and snorkling around Dubrovnik and Lokrum today. Good fun in some choppy waters but we got there in the end...

These Streets

A view down one of the steep streets in Dubrovnik Old Town. Overcast here with an amazing thunderstorm in the early hours. Going sea kayaking tomorrow which should be great.

Sitting on the dock of the bay

Went on a boat tour of the Elafiti archipelago today. Lovely day, beautiful islands and a great fish lunch. This photo is a view of the bay at our last stop as the sun was starting to set.

Time to pull the anchor up and leave the land astern

The view from dinner this evening.

Twisting by the Pool

Spent the day in dubrovnik old town but i forgot to take my phone so instead you get a photo of the swimming pool lit up at night. Chequerboarding now corrected!

Islands in the Stream

The view at sunset from our balcony (just to rub it in!)

Come fly with me

At Stansted waiting to board our plane to Dubrovnik. Not sure if I'll be able to post from there but fingers crossed. See you in a week...

Oh Happy Day

Heart Shaped Box

Ok, so it's actually a crisp, but close enough...

Marmalade Skies

All you need is love

The profiteroles with the most love in the world. Delicious.

Ziggy Played Guitar

Moving out (again)

Finally got the last of our stuff out of the flat in manchester, so we officially live in bristol now. A last look at our old building...

England's green and pleasent land

I took the scenic route from derby to manchester today, definitely worth it for the views.

Men at Work / Norwegian Wood

See that smart timber cladding? We did that...

Instructions on building a model aeroplane

Room with a View

The Ramada Encore hotel in pride park, derby. A spectacular vista I think you'll agree...
(in case the darkness obscures the view too much, it's a car park and in the middle of a business/industrial park)

This train don't stop here anyone

Except clearly, the title is a lie since the train is pulled into the station and waiting to depart. However, my knowledge of train-related songs is limited so you just have to work with what you've got...

Park Life

Like a big pizza pie

Try to count electric sheep

As sung by Marvin the paranoid android in case anyone wants to question the song lyric...

North and South

Beauty and the Beast

It's done, it's over, the beast had been put to bed and i have survived. I suppose this means i have to stop being a student and start being a normal person. Eek!

Last Train Home

Back in Manchester to hand in my dissertation. I supposed I count as a real person now, eek!

Desmond had a barrow in the marketplace

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

Went out for dinner today to celebrate finishing my dissertation and the start of four months off before starting work properly.
