This weekend was a holiday weekend… as usual our plans fell through due to lack of planning (this time we were intending to go to Wales and stop at the spots where our Grandparents grew up, but there were no rental cars left!) But I think it worked out for the best, cause it was [...]

Beautiful Bank Holidays! May 25, 2009
Dear hand bag theives… December 18, 2008
… please return my hand bag. Feel free to take all £3 cash that was in it, but please return my wallet which I was rather fond of as I bought it while our friends Jonny & Naomi were here so it reminds me of our outing to the markets that day. Don’t bother trying [...]
My new Canon 450D July 8, 2008
Thanks to an extremely generous leaving present from my boss in NZ, today I finally bought a digital SLR! I chose the Canon 450D, just with the kit lens at the moment. The orchid was handy and pretty, so here’s my first shot! Thank you so much Graeme I’m gonna go nuts with this [...]

One of their upcoming projects is making a photo notebook, and for it they want to use a photo from the Flickr Photojojo group – and this photo of mine has been picked as [...]
The magical powers of computer people December 2, 2005
Today I decided to print out the wedding invites. My boss has been very generous and said I could print them out on the work colour printer which does a lovely job. So I start printing and almost every page gets stuck in the printer and need to reset the printer and print [...]
