Dog looking at the camera. Standing on a beach with the winter sun setting behind her.

I haven't had much to say for a while. So here's just a picture of my dog Pickle on the beach yesterday.

That is totally random. I hope There is an apology.

Saturn on the evening of November 17th 2025. Almost edged on rings cutting across the globe of the planet

First clear evening in weeks last night. Managed to get some nice viewing in and some shots of Saturn.

I actually travelled on a hovercraft on the Thames on a school trip. Quite memorable as Princess Alexandra was on board as well. It wasn't that cross channel one though.

No. Just doing some outreach this week 'up north'.

Ah, then I suppose you expect good bus services all the time. I did in London. Now I see what it's like when you're not in a city.

Welcome to the reality of rural bus services. If you want better choices of work, learn to drive. Probably the most important skill to learn to get a better job.

Next week this will all seem like a dream.

Holiday in Cavtat, Croatia but back at work on Thursday.

Just gone through the border from Montenegro to Croatia on a bus an hour ago. It took 2 hours for the EU side and the traffic queues were long.
Going the other way this morning when they were yet to start the new system it took 45 minutes for both checkpoints.

A whole centre for education and outreach. Now that's something that I'd aspire to get for my work.

If it's ever going to be clear on a weekend I'll have a go at this

Crantock Beach and the Gannel Estuary near Newquay. Last of the eastern days before autumn.

Panel discussion on stage at Cornwall Slush'd 2025.

What a great day at Cornwall Slush'd 2025 in Newquay yesterday. Some truly great startups showcasing their businesses both off stage and on for the pitch competition.

Just interested. Is that full time study, say 8 hours a day? So you're a supported learner without a job to attend to. Or evening studies 5 nights a week?

Why does my dishwasher and washing machine have Bluetooth? I have to be there to load and unload. An app can't do that!

I thought that place would be an over priced waste of a day. Have to admit it, I really enjoyed it. Puy de Fou?

So lucky to be there and see it empty

Are you OK with me using an image for a post on our website to help publicise this?

Just seen Robbie Williams tour at the Royal Crescent, Bath.

The "King of Entertainment" was amazing. Such a brilliant show.

Approaching Liverpool Street Station I noticed the difference in scale between the old buildings and the new. In Cornwall even the old buildings are taller than anything there.

Another image showing scale of old and new buildings. Also so much graffiti everywhere.

A corner building similar to those thin ones in New York. I hadn't noticed the arrow on the road that matches the composition until just editing.

Old lamp post, old buildings, wet cobble streets.

Back home in Cornwall now and going through some of the images I took off the East End, London.

London has changed so much since I worked there in the 1990s.

I had too much work kit to take a proper film camera so had to make do with the mobile.

Bang on. Canva personality test thinks I'm good at presentations. I should be, I've done then to over 19,000 students.

Posing in front of the SXSW London poster

Had a couple of days in London for #SXSWLondon.

Brought our "South West comes to SCSW" talk to a new audience.

Met some amazing people but now it's time to return home.

Cities always look nice from a distance.

Hoping to be there next year.

Just talking about my wife's recent experiences with BR First Class. It's nothing like this!

Walking on the beach at the weekend I found these. First I found a piece of a packet from Kazakhstan. Next day a whole packet that possibly floated from further afield, Quanhzou.

The beach is in Cornwall.

Stereo view of the Roman villa ruins. For scale that is a full size tree there not a bush.

This Roman villa was built on a slope down to the lake. The main living area was on a flat area. To keep everything flat the slope was built up. The ends were maybe 7 stories high.

Visited the Roman villa in Sirmione yesterday. I've never seen anything so large that's classed as a villa! Hopefully the 3D images will help you see.
