2009 was a pretty busy year; but then, they all seem to be in hindsight.

 

Mid December, 2009 and we get a touch of winter. A few shots taken in Wales around the shortest day.
A day trip to London in November was well timed for a dramatic sunset and the newly switched on Xmas lights.
Friday November 13th saw me on the way to Bahrain via Abu Dhabi to deliver a training course for Bahrain TV on behalf of twofour54, an organisation based in Abu Dhabi for the purpose of Media training throughout the Middle East.
In late September, we 'popped' over to see our friends who live in the Aveyron in France for a few days. We caught the last days of their long, hot summer.
A short trip to see Jeans cousin in Barnsley, Yorkshire in autumn produced some images which can be seen here.

Anyone who likes Grand Designs with Kevin McCloud can see some of the images of that wonderful bridge in Castleford. Well worth the trip!

This summer, Jean and I took ourselves to California where we spent three weeks touring that part of the west coast of the USA.

It exceeded our expectations in just about every way. Just a small matter of sorting through some 1700 images...

I have finally got them down to a manageable number. I think.

It's 15 years since Jean and I visited Cyprus so the kind offer of accommodation near Paphos this spring was taken with some alacrity.

I have been to the island many times, but each time we manage to see new parts of the island, as well as re-discovering some of our favourites.

towards the end of March, 2009, I took a quick walk up Pen y Fan, my first for about three months.

Quite a few people had walked up with their dogs, too.

Beware the Ides of March, or so they say. The Ides of March 2009 were very enjoyable for Jean and I who managed to visit the RHS gardens at Rosemoor in North Devon.

Click along and see what we saw...

early March 2009 and we escape  to Northern Italy for a few days with some very good friends. They live in Cima just a few miles south of the Swiss border.
Early February 2009 brought some of the white stuff to our South Wales streets. Needless to say, Scoop Baker was there to get a few snaps.
