Chocolate apples

These are not chocolate apples. They are “chocolate flavour coated” apples.

Congratulations to James who recently completed his PhD viva. To help clarify the situation I have included a group photo above where I have crossed out all the faces of people who do not have a doctorate…

Aire yarn

This yarn is named after the River Aire. Now, I don’t know if you have ever seen the River Aire, but it definitely is not that colour.

The museum in Llandrindod Wells had “draws of discovery” where you opened a draw to see what was inside. One of which was this.

Free, as in weddings

I think this hotel is mocking the fact that everyone gauges couples as soon as they say the word “wedding”. They offer free wedding cake, decorations as a bridal suite. All in quote marks.

Star gazing

I decided there was no point taking my 50mm prime lens to Scotland. Then I got there and realised that that was exactly what I needed for photographing the night sky! As it happens, Ullapool puts out a lot of light anyway, so the photos were not amazing. I have seen far better skies in the middle of nowhere. However, it was certainly better than Leeds.

Summer Queen Cruises
While in Ullapool, we took a Summer Queen Cruise to the Summer Isles. I totally recommend it. We saw loads of dolphins. Loads!
Some awesome scenery too.
And we got some beautiful sunshine in the Summer Isles. We hiked up to the top of the hill and then I ran up to the very top of the island. This is us at the top of the first hill:
Then this is everyone from the very top of the island:
And their view looking up at me:

Ullapool 2014
A couple of years ago, Norman charged George and I with planning a suitable celebration of his 30th birthday. So, in February this year, we began planning a trip to the Scottish Highlands. Seven months and a thousand miles of driving later, and our mission was accomplished.
It is a mission to get to. It took 11 hours to get up there and 10 hours to get back. It was worth the drive though (I say now the back pain has faded). We got incredibly lucky in that we had no rain all week and enjoyed sunshine for most of it. The cruise staff were very keen for me to stress to everyone that I had to use sun cream in the Highlands!
Amazing weather, amazing company and an amazing setting – what more could you possibly want from a holiday?
The view across the loch. The town on the right is Ullapool.
Norman swimming in the loch. I only made it to the river that ran down beside our house into the loch and that was absolutely freezing.
Corrieshalloch Gorge. The photos do not do it justice. It is 200 feet deep.
Our beach-side home for the week.
Best of all, spending a week with seven amazing friends.

Flamingo Land

Earlier this month myself and Elina went to Flamingo Land. I was quite impressed. We did not go on any of the rides; we just did the zoo. Even with that, it was still a full day of stuff to do, indeed we probably could have spent more time there if we wanted to see all the shows.
