Words Fail Me

After my short experiment with exepod I am launching a brand new podcast next week, Words Fail Me.

I will be joined by my good friend Dave, and we will be reading through the greatest book of books - the dictionary!

May not sound thrilling but bear with us, we think it will be more entertaining than it sounds.

Find out more at http://wordsfailmepodcast.blogspot.com/ and do download the first episode later next week.

Exeter in the snow

A few pictures of Exeter in the snow.

More forecast overnight, and the River Exe is starting to freeze up as well!

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas everyone!

Here are a few festive pictures from last week in Germany, most of these are from the market in Bremen, and although we did not see any show there was a lot of very pretty ice.

A disturbing one that!

Have a great day everyone!

Bus Shelter Demolition in South Street

Today a bus decided that it was not going to stop at the bus stop, but drive right into it!

These photos are from just after the incident...

I knew it was those northerners to blame!

Italy Day Trip - Part One - Bergamo

As promised ages ago the pictures from our day trip to Bergamo in Italy. The fights cost us £7 each return and Dave kindly organised it all for us! We were in Italy just 24 hours, but we had brilliant fun, here are a few pictures.

We arrived late afternoon, and after checking in to the hotel went for a walk up to the old town, that is the old town looming ominously on the hill! The train below was the easiest way to get up to the top.

The old town consists on lovely old streets, cakes shops and cafes.

Half way along the main street is a square with the main Church in it. It is a wonderfully ornate and slightly overwhelming structure inside. The incense is strong enough to make you feel ill!

Some stairs at the back of the church lead to what I can only assume was a very strange and creepy art exhibition. The weird images and sounds were enough to freak me out!

Back out in the real world we went to a cafe to recover!

A great place to visit, and you can do it in a weekend from Bristol airport.

Cakes!

Me returning from old town.

Storms in Southern England

If you had not noticed it's been a bit stormy here today! Here are a few pictures from Teignmouth this afternoon at high tide.

Majorca 2009 Part 6

Me with another pint!

The full moon low in the sky. Taking this one made me realise I need a better camera.

Majorca 2009 Part 5

Me testing the water (which was warmer than the pool!)

Me again.

Our hotel at night.

Majorca 2009 Part 4

My favourite picture of the trip for some reason...

An experiment in photography...

This one was taken just as we arrived on the island, which is why I look a bit pale still! This pint of Cruzcampo (not Fosters as the glass suggests) was the best beer I have had for a long time, knowing there was a whole week of holiday in front of me!
