October 2010

Just got back from a couple of weeks on the Beara Peninsula in the far west of Ireland. I took over 1,300 photos, so it's going to take a while to work through that lot.

In the meantime, there are some photos of Wimborne Minster Flower Festival to be going on with.

September 2010

New for September:

August 2010

Apologies to anyone who has been trying to access the site in the last few days. I came home on Sunday night (8 Aug) to find that the site had disappeared.

On investigation, it would seem that a few lines of code that had been working OK for some time, decided to stop working at around 14:50. Why is still a mystery. (I never touched it squire. Honest!)

Anyway I think I have now found ways around the problems, and everything should be back to normal. However if you spot any problems, please let me know.

The only new page this month is a walk down Biggin Dale and back up Wolfscote Dale in Derbyshire. There are also some new photos in the London (Other Places) gallery and the River Thames Gallery

July 2010

New this month are a gazetteer entry for Gaunts House in Dorset and a gallery of photos form this year's Wimborne Folk Festival

June 2010

New for this month are a couple of pages covering:

Also been spending a lot of time sanding the corners off the buttons to try to make them look a bit more trendy, and replacing the zoom drop-down with a set of buttons.

May 2010

The new Amsterdam Gazetteer section is now live with sections on:

There is also an new page on the Begijnhof, and a new section in the Subject Index covering Sculptures and Public Art.

April 2010

I've now finished the Amsterdam photos and am writing some stuff to go with them.

The first to go live was a walk from Flevopark to IJberg on the eastern outskirts of the city. This has now been joined by

  • A trip to the North Sea at IJmuiden on the Fast Flying Ferry,
  • A short piece on the Kuekenhof, and
  • A bit about the IJ and the ferry services.
March 2010

If you were wondering what happened to the March update, well there wasn't one as nothing much happened.

There was a new gallery of photos of Greenwich, some additions to some of the other London Galleries, and one picture of some snowdrops, but that is about it.

Partly this was because we took another trip to Amsterdam. As usual I took hundreds of photos, so look forward to some significant updates shortly.

February 2010

A bit late with the update this month, I'm afraid.

There is a new article on Badbury Rings and a gallery for Hod Hill in Dorset, and a few photos of Winklebury just over the border in Wiltshire.

January 2010

Happy New year to everyone.

New so far this year are the last couple of pages on Prague:

December 2009

Again not much to show this month as I'm still going over the code with a fine tooth-comb, not to mention Christmas shopping etc.

There are three new Prague pages on

Meanwhile, can I take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

November 2009

Not much new this month as I have been giving the code a thorough-going spring-clean. It all looks the same on the surface, but hopefully it runs a bit faster, and more reliably

There are however brief details of a walk along the ridge at Buxbury Hill in Wiltshire and a gazetteer entry for the nearby Fovant Badges. There is also a gazetteer entry for the Allen-Williams Steel Turret above Worbarrow bay in Dorset.

There are some shots taken from and of the Torbay Express, a regular steam excursion from Bristol to Kingswear in Devon, together with some new photos of Dartmouth.

I've made a start on writing up the Prague photos and there are now articles on:
