  • Do Not Sit On The Letters

    Perhaps we should act on them instead. The pen is mightier than the sword etc.

  • RideLondon Women’s Grand Prix

    A good criterium race in Central London was won on Saturday by Giorgia Bronzini of Wiggle Honda who just managed to pass World Champion (and all round cycling superstar) Marianne Vos who had to make do with 2nd. Lizzie Armistead got third, with Laura Trott, Eileen Roe and Hannah Barnes all in the mix. See…

  • Published!

    I was chuffed that one of my photos from this year’s Tour de France in Yorkshire was used as a newspaper wraparound this week. So if you’re up in the Dales, do pick up a copy!

  • Au Revoir Le Tour

    The third and final stage of this year’s Tour de France in the UK was the fast(ish) and flat Cambridge to London run. And this time, I actually cycled out to meet the Tour from home. That meant carrying just a small camera, and unfortunately the proof is in the pudding. I entirely missed taking…

  • More Yorkshire – Stage 2 of the 2014 Tour de France

    This time, I stood on a very long stretch of the Skipton Road as the riders headed out through Harrogate and onto “Cote de Buttertubs.” Here are a few of my favourites. A load more photos on Flickr.

  • Tour de France 2014 Stage 1 – Yorkshire En Fête

    Depart London 5am. Arrive North Yorkshire 9.30am. Get lost a little because of road closures, and then find a nice little place to park. Then take a three mile hike onto Grinton Moor (or Cote de Griton Moor as the French both renamed and mispelled it). Realise that you really should have brought your bike…

  • Future Thinking and Unthinking

    A couple of big US tech firms made some big announcements today. Amazon will get the lion’s share of attention for its new Amazon Fire Phone. Essentially it’s a mini version of their Kindle Fire, using their forked version of Android, but with a phone. The big excitement is that it’s 3D. Well all phones…

  • The Thames Tunnel

    Last weekend TFL allowed some guided tours through Brunel’s Thames Tunnel between Rotherhithe and Wapping. I was lucky enough to get to walk through and of course I took some photos. More photos over on Flickr.

  • Women’s Tour of Britain – Stage 4 – Cheshunt to Welwyn (via Hertford)

    In spite of the decidedly uncertain weather prospects, I headed out to Hertford this morning for the fourth stage of the inaugural Friends Life Women’s Tour of Britain. Hertford constitutes “on my doorstep” in terms of these things, and the obvious place to go was on the climb out of Hertford. I got there unnecessarily…

  • Women’s Tour of Britain – Stage 2 – Bedford

    On a fairly wet Thursday, I travelled up to Bedford to see the end of the second stage of the inaugural Friends Life Women’s Tour of Britain. Such has been the paucity of strong events (and lack of equality with the men), that this is already a contender for the biggest stage race in the…

  • Friends in Two Floors

    A photo I liked and that deserved a wider viewing to just Facebook. Incidentally, it’s good to see that Flickr has properly updated embedding now in its new look allow you to use either iframes, or good honest HTML. Both have their place in my view.

  • The Years of La Dolce Vita

    There’s no doubt that La Dolce Vita is one of my favourite films of all time. The glamour and sophistication of Roman society is there in gorgeous black and white. And it seems that the film actually helped develop the world which it depicted. Rome’s famous Cinecittà studios were perfect for big Hollywood productions such…
