Matt in Swindon

Matt in Swindon

Matt Revell came to stay with me in Swindon. We went to Stone Henge and other stone circles on the Saturday and up to Bletchley Park on the Sunday. Note the extra-close up shots of some of the stones taken with my zoom lens.

Relaxing Weekend

I’m back in Swindon after taking a well needed break from the daily grind by heading off to the East Coast for the Saturday and lunching with my family on the Sunday.

The weather was most pleasant on Saturday and the atmosphere in the marina was wonderfully peaceful compared with the hectic nature of my last couple of weeks at work. I spied a couple of fantastic photography subjects but unfortunately had neglected to bring my camera – I’ve made a note of them for next time.

As far as the family catch up goes, Hannah is settling in well at Law School and has already been able to explain some of the more interesting points with me which is great. The positive difference it makes in academia when you are truly enjoying what you have to study is immeasurable.

New Road

New Road

Walking just beyond the Swindon canal I noticed a whole lot of new and uncompleted roads that are inaccessible bu car. I hopped down off the elevated path and walked along them, snapping some phots as I went.

Corinium

Having grown up in a town steeped in Roman history I was delighted to spy the name of my old street above a doorway while wandering round Swindon.
