Anthony Gormley (the talented British sculptor who created the Angel of the North) had an exhibition in London at the moment called ‘Blind Light’. Although it’s presented by the Hayward gallery, the exhibition is by no means confined there. In fact, according to the Southbank Centre website, it “features sculptural casts of the artist’s body …

Sunset #140707
I know I’ve already taken far too many sunset photos, but this was something special. I do really enjoy the view from the top of our garden… There’s another shot, a closeup of next door’s ariel, which I particularly like.
Two days in the bunker
Back from Wimbledon, where I spent Thursday and Friday in the IBM bunker, helping Ian run real and/or virtual tours of the Wimbledon event. Like last year, I managed to grab a few photos of the tennis. But perhaps more interestingly, I spent a while wandering around the championships to share a few photos of …

Walking at West Wittering
Ok.. so I was photographing rather than participating, but there was some very cool kite surfing happening at West Wittering this weekend. There were horse riders, walkers and windsurfers too.
Mr and Mrs Roo visit London
I had to go to London for a couple of days to work with a customer in Notting Hill. Mrs Roo met me there on Wednesday night, and we enjoyed a lovely evening together being touristy. After a deliciously noodly meal at Wagamama we took our first ever spin in the London Eye, before exploring …
