  • Piel Castle on Nov 1, 2009

    On a very rainy Sunday it was time to do something. We set out not so early in an attempt to see a little bit or perhaps a lot of Piel Castle. As you can see from this picture, we didn't exactly see much of it. The weather was dreadful and several fl...

  • A Petrol Station at the End of the Rainbow on Oct 26, 2009

    After a walk in Dunham Massey we came home missing all of the rain before and after. On the way back I had to pop into Sainsburys. As we approached it rained hard and then stopped and the sun came out. Travelling around the roundabout towards Sainsbu...

  • Dr Who's Home Again on Aug 21, 2009

    Dr Who seems to get about a bit which being a Time Lord I suspect is rather easy. Last tim e I spotted his vehicle at a Dr Who museum, before that I saw it at Crich Tram museum and now the latest spotting was at the Kent Police Museum strangely enoug...
