A little bit late because I got busy doing the end of the MOOC, but here's the final day of my Ambleside break. My plan for the day was to go up to Stockghyll Falls and then have a look round the town itself. I've been up to the waterfalls once before, when I came across them completely by accident - by which, I mean the sign that pointed the way ( Read more... )

Here is the post a lot of you have been waiting for, photos of my trip to Ambleside! I did so much and took so many photos that rather than reduce it down to cram all in one post, I'm going to do a post per day. As usual click on any photo for a bigger image, and you're definitely going to want to do that here, there's some amazing scenery.

Yesterday I treated myself to a day out and went off to Liverpool for comics, coffee, cake, chocolate and creative stuffs all in the company of a friend. Unfortunately the weather wasn't brilliant - it started chucking it down just as I was about to leave which made me swap my zip-up hoody for a waterproof jacket instead.

Here is the long-awaited post about my holiday in Germany! I'm breaking the week down into four posts each covering two days and including pictures in with each day rather than doing a separate photo post. I've tried to make the images small so they don't make the posts off-puttingly long so you'll have to click on each one to get a bigger image ( Read more... )

I went to foreign parts yesterday for fun times. Namely Bradford for a Bear. bearsir decided he really just had to experience the fun of England in February and was doing a short tour of various speaking engagements, including one at the University of Bradford. Annoyingly, despite my best efforts, I couldn't raise any events for his attendance in ( Read more... )
