Friday Photos: Getting geometric at the Eden Project
There are few visitor attractions that I can recommend more enthusiastically than the Eden Project. I would visit it everyday if I could
Sunshine and Roses at the Regent’s Park, London
My mother and I headed up Oxford Street for a bit of shopping, stopping everywhere that caught our fancy, weaving our way through the throngs of Londoners and tourists that had taken to the streets on the sunny Saturday morning.
Headline News: Summer Sun Shines in England!
I know, I know, surely it can’t be possible. England is cold and rainy all the time. I’ve certainly complained about that fact my fair share (see here, and here for evidence).
Rain, Rain Go Away!
You’ve heard it all before from me. The summer of 2012 has been absolutely miserable here in the UK, and after a few days of decent weather at the beginning of September we have now been unceremoniously plunged into the rain and cold of autumn.
Lament For a Lost Summer
An alternative title for this post could be Summer 2012, You Suck! Not to be too melodramatic, or anything. Today is August 29th and today I wore boots to work. Boots! In August.

Sunny Days in Chester – GiANT Jubilee Celebrations
The weather in England has been absolutely amazing for the past week and the whole nation has been out taking advantage of it! I predict there will be some very burnt Britons turning up to work tomorrow morning.
A Cornish Fasty – the southwest of England in 4 days
We set off early on a rainy morning from our apartment in Liverpool for a whirlwind tour through the south of England. We had a tent and a camp stove in the trunk and we were ready for our mini-break. Evidently, you can see a whole heck of a lot on a four-day road trip.
