Harbour Dinner Cruise - 8 October 2012 : Been on the Sunset Dinner Cruise before many years ago, and just had to go again. This time the weather meant that it was possible to go out into English Bay and into False Creek, which gave great sunset views. The welcome was great, our table was on the lower deck. As soon as everyone was on board we were away. The gear box was below us and during maneuvering there was considerable clanking heard. Once underway the voyage was smooth and peaceful. Live entertainment was provided (downstairs on the way out; and upstairs on the way back). Great sunset views were provided of Vancouver and Lions Gate bridge on the way out. The timing was perfect to see the sunset once we were in English Bay. As the MV Constitution headed into False Creek food was served. This was buffet style. There was plenty of food for all, and the taste and quality was good, especially considering that it is prepared on shore and brought on board for serving. It was a great night and given the right weather and timing of sunset, not to be missed.

Whitelee Windfarm - 15 October 2011 : Europe's largest windfarm, Whitelee Windfarm, is owned and operated by Scottish Power. Situated less than ten miles south of Glasgow City Centre, it is easy to visit, just of junction 5 of the M77. It is currently being expanded which will take it to an installed capacity of 539MWe. This visit was on a windy day - well there is usually wind on Eaglesham Moor - all the turbines visible were seen spinning. The trails mean visitors can get right up close to the towers, and in this collection you will see close ups of Turbine 40. In the distance of some of the pictures the towers being erected as part of the extension can be seen without blades. This area is still moorland with streams, and wildlife. However on this visit the only wildlife seen was a caterpillar.

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway - 18 September 2011 : Due to the rivalry that existed in the 19th century and the Wirksworth Branch was constructed. Initially it was intended to run from Duffield on the North Midland Railway, latterly the Midland Railway, to Rowsley. However, the Midland Railway settled its differences and opted for the route through Matlock. Freight traffic kept the line open after the cessation of the passenger service in 1949. In 1991 freight services had ceased and the line was severed from the main line at Duffield. WyvernRail was formed in 1996 to operate the line, and after aquisition of the Wirksworth site, services on a short section of line started in 2004. The line was progressively opened to Duffield, with the final section opened in April 2011. In addition the short section north to Ravenstor was opened in 2005. This visited was on an afternoon of mixed weather ranging from torrential rain to bright sunshine. Ecclesbourne Valley Railway website Wikipedia on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway

When Southwark Cathedral was built it was the tallest building in the area, now surpassed by the office blocks recently built. The newest of these building is the The Shard at London Bridge.

Nine Lessons and Carol at St Mary's Cathedral - 19 December 2010 : At St Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow, the season of Advent is kept until the morning service on Advent 4. After the conclusion of the service, the cathedral was transformed for Christmas. In 2009 a time lapse video was posted on YouTube. This evening was the service of Nine Lessons and Carols. The cathedral choir was under the direction of Director of Music - Friðrik (Frikki) Walker. After the Welcome and opening prayer from Provost Holdsworth the service followed the traditional format of lessons and carols, however the narrative in the lessons began with a bit of Hebrews and then the annunciation rather than the Garden of Eden.

Flery Manor, Grants Pass, Southern Oregon - October 1999 : Our accomodation in Southern Oregon was located near to Grants Pass. Our hosts were Marla and John Vidrinkas at their Bed and Breakfast about 10 miles north of Grants Pass off Interstate-5 at Exit 66. We discovered them from their Web Site Flery Manor features extensive landscaped gardens. Paths take you around ponds, floral arrangements and the occasional hammock to the Gazebo at the bottom of the garden. Marla has ensured that the house and garden has angels everywhere you look, from the chimney breast in the two storey living room, to the window ledge at the top of the stairs. We spent six nights in the Windsor Room. Each day Marla produced a gastronomic delight for breakfast. Marla's signature dish is Egg on a Cloud.
