For my birthday, my wonderful partner made me a little voucher. It said:
Birthday Voucher for ONE MYSTERY EXPERIENCE DAY OUT
It was all beautifully decorated and everything. So today i redeemed my voucher! :)
We went on the train to Portchester (i somehow had a feeling we’d be going to Portchester because i love castles and i’ve [...]

We had a nice weekend away with goodarcher: a bit of gardening, a bit of de-cluttering, lots of chatting and socialising, a bit of Torchwood, and a wonderful trip out to Bosham and elsewhere around and about West Sussex today. It was absolutely lovely. Met some nice new friends and had a very peaceful time. [...]

I am in a distinctly holiday mood! Once i leave work today i am off for five days until Tuesday! :)
Not doing anything special, just taking some time to relax. I will try to avoid Winchester city centre if at all possible whilst people are re-enacting the murder of Jesus. That sounds rather gruesome to [...]

I had a lovely Shabbat experience with my partner. It was a couples retreat workshop in a hotel, with meals included, activities, opportunities to think about what is important to us as a couple. We met some lovely people there, and had a very good time. The meals were excellent, plus we pigged out on [...]

I hope everybody had a good Christmas break. I had just about the best Christmas ever. My partner’s parents came to Kent - specifically to Platts Heath, the tiny hamlet where my mum lives. It was so nice to be staying just around the corner from my mum, and our families got on very well [...]

The last two times we have come home from a trip away, one of our clocks has been found to have run out of battery and stopped. They [...]

We are having a completely lovely long weekend away. Yesterday we went out to the ancient Roman town Trier and had a look in the Constantine museum; it was very interesting but terribly crowded. We went to look at the Porta Nigra and saw Karl Marx’s birthplace (from the outside). We also had a lovely [...]

Would you believe it? Another little holiday! Well, we are just going to Germany for a long weekend. Hopefully get some Christmas shopping in at the same time! :)
I have one more day at work, and then off for six days. This seems very nice. I am looking forward to it. Suzie is going to [...]

Here are some views of Budapest. The scenery is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, and these photos don’t do it justice at all, but here goes, starting with a trip up Gellért Hill:
Crossing Elizabeth Bridge to the Buda side you see this beautiful waterfall:
A statue half-way up the hill, looking out over Elizabeth Bridge:
At the top you [...]

We had a safe, if long, journey home on Saturday. Got back to find our phone line had been cut off - BT were doing some work and managed to cut through the cables, or something like that. Hence no internet, hence no update from me. But it should be getting fixed today.
I had a [...]
