New Year was spent with Uncle David, Auntie Vicky and baby Oliver.  A fun time was had by all.

The first day back and I'm off to the floods in Sonning.  Provided with waist high waders I don't think I gave the locals much confidence.

I managed to fall off my bike on the way to the

station this week, a few broken teeth and six

stitches in my chin to close the hole.  Ouch.

An Army media day near Colchester.  A chance for the military to show they are ready for the Gulf. 

Worrying times and a somewhat surreal experience as soldiers and kit ran this way and that as directed by the large contingent of press photragphers and camera crews.

I'm trying out a

Nokia phone that

has a built in

camera to see if

it could be useful

for journalists

out on stories

- here a couple

of results.

It's not too bad once you scale the images down, but at full size they are appaling.

Week 05

A day trip to Belfast this week where I snapped a quick picture of the City Hall.  I was lucky to get back home as the flight into Stansted was somewhat choppy and heavy snow the following day closed the airport for 24 hours.

Snow!  Lydia's first experience - she was not impressed.
