This is my first entry and since I have a backlog of photos to get on here I think I will skip this weeks events and post some pics from my first trip here in England.

I went far...about an hour and a half....which I know, to Canadians, is not much. That is what we drive just to get to work. But over here, that is a day long trip. Seriously, cars are packed with foodstuffs and the lot. Crazy. Anyways here are some pics...


This is Bamburgh Castle. The thing about England is you can throw a rock in any direction and you are sure to hit a castle or cathedral. The country is just chalk full of them. I should probably know some history about it but this was a year ago folks and I will not make a fool out of myself by going on the net to find some info now.

This is the south down the coast from the battlements. In retrospect I should have the view north because then you can see Lindisfarne, an island with some serious Christian history. Lots of saints performing crazy miracles lived there, the Lindisfarne Gospels were written there (Get Out, Really?). I know this is a bit of history you will forget because I have not even a proper shot. No worries.

Here are the four of my flatmates that I went up with. From left there is Catherin from Lyons, France, Jenny from Liverpool, England, Pierre-Francois from Paris, France and Arve or A.G. from somewhere unpronounceable in Norway. It is interesting that the uni stuck all the foreigners and older people together in rez. Nice.

These last two shots are just scenes I found pleasing, for no other reason are they here. Thanks for visiting and I fully intend to update this site weekly so you can come back if you like...I am thinking next week,,,the re-liberalization of American media? And for sure some more pics. Cheers, Alan
