What I Did Last Weekend - a post with far too many pictures

[byslantedlight]

I keep saying I'll post these pics and all, and I got them all ready days ago, so before it slips out of my posting-fingers for good and all... here's What I Did On My Holiday Last Weekend. *g*

Great Pics & a Great Part of the World

But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near:
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.

or so much to do, so little time!

There really, really is...

Your photos are great! You always find a nice angle. I always enjoy your photography. Glad you had a nice (and very busy, by the looks of it!) time. :)

[byslantedlight]

Thank you! So glad you like the pics - it sometimes feels a bit like foisting slide shows upon people, but then I figure it's quick enough that they can scroll by if they don't like photos... and I like seeing other people's, so... *g* It was both a nice and a busy time, and enough of both for me to be happy at home this weekend too, so that's good!

[dollidaydream]

Oh, always post the photos, I really enjoy seeing them! ;)

[byslantedlight]

Thanks!

Oh, what gorgeous piccies - thank you! I love the butterflies and the graves especially - oh, and the wonderful clockwork thingies. It looks like you packed a ton into your break!

[byslantedlight]

I do like trying to make good grave photos... and the butterflies were so gorgeous... the blue one was much more beautiful than it looks here of course - more sort of purple-blue - and oh, the glass-winged butterflies... imagine a whole flock of them! (wait, a flock of butterflies? Surely not... okay, I've found a flight of butterflies, a flutter of butterflies, and a rabble of butterflies... a rabble?! Surely they're anything but a rabble! Anyway...)

Stratford was such a small-and-yet-busy place, it was easy to just keep doing and doing and doing... and I didn't even remember to point out that I went on one of the last working chain ferries in the country... *g*

You should travel more and get paid for posting your always wonderful pictures!
I want to come and see more of the UK, but there never is enough time or money. And Mr. Siskiou is now only allowed two weeks vacation at a time, so no longer trips possible together with him. We are so angry about this new rule!

[byslantedlight]

Hee - I totally should... *vbg* (And aw, thanks! *g*)

I can't believe there are places that only allow two weeks holiday in a year - in a supposedly "civilised" working society, that's just inhumane... in fact what? I was just checking with wiki whether that was one of the lower allowances in the world, and actually it's worse than that - Americans have no right at all to paid holiday from their work! That's just... in this day and age, that's just gobsmacking, it really is... So apparently Mr Siskiou should be lucky he gets any paid holiday at all... gaaaaargh! I am so going to wish that he is able to find a fabulous new job with a much better employer soooooon.

Lovely and most wonderful pics, thanks for sharing, so much to see and do around there, we have to come back.

You went book binding? I'd love to hear about that.

I should start at the office now, but can't get myself to do it.

[byslantedlight]

Thank you! *g* And yes, you must come back!

I did go book binding, but as soon as I got there I had to come home again, cos the chap had caught a cold - and proofreading is headache-inducing enough without an added cold, which I would have been bound to catch... *is wimp* But if I ever do get to do it, I'll definitely post!

You inspired me to Virtual Office - despite a thousand good intentions, I'm finding it hard to get going too... and now it's lunch time!
