A Holiday in Pictures
This year we spent our summer holiday in the South of England, spending a couple of days driving down to where I grew up, and visiting lots of touristy things while we were there.
The Circle, Bath
Roman Baths, Bath
Stonehenge
The Long Man of Wilmington
HMS Victory
For some reason I managed not to take photos of a lot of what we did – we spent a day up in London at the V&A and just wandering around, but I didn’t take any photos, and a day in Brighton, a night in Swanage, and an afternoon in Arundel, all undocumented. However, all will be much repeated, I don’t get tired of any of them. If you visit Brighton do pop in to the Pavilion – despite living just down the road I’d never been inside before, and it’s really something to see.
what lovely photos…picture postcards

I find sometimes I can get just SICK of taking pictures. You can never be in the moment if you’re always trying to frame up and fire off another shot. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that I never take long enough vacations; if you’re not rushing, it doesn’t feel like such a wrench to stop and photograph.
We made postcards out of some of our pictures at moo.com. These are quite gorgeous. Makes me want to finally go to England. Crazy how we haven’t managed that yet!

Went to Bath and enjoyed the Baths quite a bit, and the architecture. I must see the Long Man someday.

We just watched the wonderful film of Sense and Sensibility with JJ Field and Felicity Jones. Made me want to rush right over.
