17th July 2007 - Welcome To Coventry

This is the view from the new multi-storey car park at Coventry Station. I thought it might be funnier if it said 'Sent to Coventry'. Despite it's bad reputation Coventry isn't all bad. The night life is poor and the city centre 'rough' on a Friday or Saturday night. However, there are some pleasant areas around the city, specifically Kenilworth and the Warwickshire Countryside.

11th July 2007 - Lambo

The area of Birmingham where I'm working at the moment accommodates lots of legal and financial companies. Needless to say, there's always a few nice cars about. This Lambo is around most days.

After another cold and damp evening playing golf and practising my short game, the clouds parted (momentarily) over Warwickshire.

2nd July 2007 - Dodging showers

I ducked out into Birmingham at lunchtime and took this picture in the grounds of St Philip's Cathedral. Half an hour later it was chucking it down.

30th June 2007 - Saturday

We took Ben swimming at the club on Saturday, which we hadn't done for a few weeks. Here he is in the cafe afterwards enjoying a cookie. A pleasant and relaxing morning.

28th June 2007 - Spitfire in Birmingham

I enjoy going into Birmingham for work, being England's second city you ocasionally see something interesting. For some reason there was a Spitfire in Victoria Square, I was rushing to catch a train so didn't have time to find out why it was there.

22nd June 2007 - Damp day in Birmingham

The rubbish weather continues, a very damp morning in Birmingham.

16th June 2007 - Flooded River Avon

Large parts of the UK have been on flood alert for a number of weeks. This is a picture of the River Avon at least 6 feet higher than usual.

16th June 2007 - PULL!

We went shooting for my brothers 35th birthday and had a jolly good time! My bro and I were tied and a 'shoot off' was required to decide the winner. I won!

12th June 2007 - On the golf course

Although the weather has been abysmal this summer, I have managed to enjoy a few games after work, this evening was particularly nice.

4th June 2007 - Ricoh Arena, Coventry

We had a swanky company conference at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, home to Coventry City FC. Nice little stadium, must try and get to a few matches next season.

31st May 2007 - Victoria Square, Birmingham

I changed jobs in April, one of the reasons was to get out of the office and do a bit more travelling. My first project has involved me commuting into Birmingham city centre a few times a week. This is a picture from Victoria Square near to where I'm working.

It's a hard life

I've been taking pictures on my new camera phone for the last few months with the intention of uploading them to my blog on a regular basis. So here's one from 30th May. I had the day off to look after Ben in the afternoon, only he fell asleep in his pram on the way home from nursery.
