Driving ambition, around 1971.
Moving house at the start of my PhD in January 2002.
The girls in student services submitting my thesis in June 2006, and then inside and outside the Great Hall just afterwards.
We went on a long holiday after the PhD was submitted, first North and then South. We met a Viking family at the 5000 year old village of Skara Brae on the Mainland island in Orkney. We also met a 5000 year old gentleman at the Tomb of the Eagles museum on South Ronaldsay. After a 750 mile drive south we then met a Roman family at Brading Roman Villa, Isle of Wight.
August 2010. Following in the footsteps of the Swallows and Amazons we intended to visit Ramp Holme on Windermere by canoe. However, the weather blew up with 'white-tops' in the middle of the lake. We therefore had to be content with canoeing towards it from a distance and getting a lake cruise around it for a closer look.
