The rest of the week was spent at home with a day trip to Southend and wrapped up with my MMR jab. Ouch!

Week 42

Lydia playing in her room, terrible weather at the weekend meant we couldn't get out much.

Week 43

Another great assignment - covering the James Bond exhibition at the Science Museum.  Great fun.

This week I travelled to the south coast to meet a man who owns a 'green goddess' fire engine.  The plan was to create a 360 virtual tour for the planned fire strike, however as they cancelled the strike at the last minute it has yet to be used.

Earlier that week (below) I headed up to Birmingham to the Motor show and there she was, no not the model, the Caterham - my dream car!
