Depressingly dark
I know what you mean... it does look kind of dingy - but it wasn't quite as bad as it looks in the photos. High contrast meant that either the town or the sky went a bit dark/bright... I tried to get a compromise between the two... but those areas are like that - everything very close together, lots of stone and tiled rooves... But the Minster more than makes up for the ungraceful parts of town!

Oh, yessss!
The Minster is - as you say - awe-inspiring, and the thought of all the work and skill involved... You are so right!

Pretty! Although the shots of the town from up high look sort of dingy.

Loving the Enchantment of Old England
So much to read! I'm afraid I'm a little behind in your blog, but will get through it over a few days! Sounds like you're having a magnificent time, though. I remember loving Stonehenge myself, but I remember thinking that the car park was too close too. They should make you pilgrimage to it, keep the magic alive!

Pub Grub is Sublime.
I wonder if there is a group of that name on facebook? There should be! I did get a pic of Alice's grave, but it's not hugely interesing - just a bunch of overgrown flowering plants and a wee plaque. Not the prettiest grave ever - just notable.

heehee
Yeah, I am a regular paparaz - it's great! Imagine how much money I could make! Only prob is, I keep thinking of the celebs as people, and when I meet them I tend to ask if it's okay to take a pic, and then I don't if they would rather not... so no photo of Maggie Smith from last weekend :( Tarnation. Maybe I should ditch the whole ethics thing ;)

Happy (belated) New Years!
Sounds like you're having a great time. Ali and I were lucky enough to be out on a boat in Sydney Harbour. Amazing fireworks from the harbour bridge and all around us! Will we see you at Toby's wedding?

Oooh... does that mean
that you are coming to your Overseas Adventure soon? Coromandel would have been great... though I've heard the water's still quite cold at the moment. Happy 2007 with extra added hugs x j

Happy New Years
Happy New Year! Looks like your's was fantastic. Brought the new year in overlooking a dark ocean on the shores of the coromandel. A lot more subdued than you, but lovely nonetheless. Happy 2007. Hopefully see you someday soon... :)

*grins from ear to ear*
Thank you! What a nice comment, and glad you like the pics :) I have a lot of fun taking them, but you can see now why I have started looking at SLRs - sometimes it is so frustrating not having more options... or lenses... but I have to balance out the cost against the bells and whistles. No doubt you will hear more of my dilemmas in due course! x j

But she said they were manky, and she had a fair point... plus there was NO WAY they were going to fit into her pack!

Geraniums are like triffids?
cos they're triffic? Or cos they are biding their time until the right season for world domination? (Not that triffids bided... but maybe geraniums are more subtle.)

where are you? : : tales from abroad
Yes! Exactly. And I think that's what they're planning - it's just weird that they never thought of that before.
