2001-2003

	Dyffryn Gardens had just joined the 'lit up' arboretums society. I took a quick look at some purdy trees in nearby Dyffryn Gardens on a cold November night.
	A short trip to Edinburgh gave me the opportunity of taking a few shots of this handsome city.
	October 23rd 2003, Concorde made it's final flight into, and out of, Cardiff Airport. I was there, on the roof of Fonmon Castle and one of the worlds most beautiful planes approaching out of a clear blue sky. Take a look at, as the control tower was heard to say: 'The Old Lady'.

	Lincoln's Christmas market In mid December 2003, Jean and I were staying with friends in Lincolnshire for a few days: an opportunity to check out the famous Lincoln Christmas Market based on its Continental cousins.
	Cornwall Late September, and we had a short break in a very comfortable hotel near Padstow on the north Cornish Coast.
	Canada August 8th 2003 found us winging our way on our first trip to that vast, beautiful country. Vancouver, Whistler, Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise and the fabulous Icefield Parkway all became reality. So much beauty, so many memories.

	Train spotting Well, bits of trains actually. A photographic expedition to a Barry Island railway preservation centre.
	Strumble Head Pictures of this beautiful and historic part of Pembrokeshire on a cycle ride. Scene of the last invasion of the British Isles. Truly!

Through the Barbed Wire	The story of my father in law's war which was spent mostly in various P.O.W. camps. I found it a compelling account of triumph of spirit over hardship and hunger.

	Portugal Some panoramic pictures from the Algarve. Lagos and west.
	Holyhead In July 2002, I visited Anglesey for work, but had the opportunity to take a few pics as well. Business as usual there, then.
	Garden of Wales The National Garden of Wales at Llanarthne near Carmarthen has a lot to say for itself. I think the pictures do the talking. They are experiencing hard times currently, although there is talk of rescue.
Artists of Aberthin	The village in which I live has several artists living and working for a wide variety of clients. Some information about them and examples of their work can be seen here.
	At the end of December, a new small, furry face arrived at the Corrie. She is a Tortoiseshell 'puddy tat' called Tiggy and has her own web page. How many kittens have that?
