Glenfinnan Viaduct

We passed over the Glenfinnan Viaduct on our journeys to and from Mallaig in Scotland. This is the impressive engineering feat used in the Harry Potter films.

Mallaig for Fish and Chips

We promised ourselves a fish and chip meal during our trip the Scottish coastline. We were not disappointed by the meal in Mallaig; hot, filling, and just what we hoped for.

Fort William

The weather was not perfect but for us that did not matter. Despite raining on one of the days we stayed, the remaining days were fine and we managed to get the walking in that we wanted.

Train to Fort William

We took the the train from Glasgow to Fort William. The journey was easy and pretty.

Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art

We enjoyed a particularly lazy morning in Glasgow. After enjoying a coffee, we headed to the central Gallery of Modern Art for a couple of hours.

Tiger

The unexpected face of a tiger caught my eye as we travelled towards Glasgow. I can not now remember where along the journey I noticed the haircut staring back at those behind its owner.

Glasgow

Glasgow did not match my expectations. The image of a dour city with little to recommend it was wrong. Glasgow nicely exceeded what few positive expectations I had.

Moving Servers

After six years with my former web and e-mail providers, I have moved. The decision to move providers is never simple as a move demands rigour, planning, and significant effort to get right.

What greeted us was great. These young men were practising “le parcours” on the public gym equipment by the river. The men took turns to perform incredible feats of strength and control on the parallel bars.

Birmingham Air-Rail Link

As many others have done before me, I filmed the Air-Rail Link journey as we headed back. The system is fully automated, departs almost every two minutes, and feels swift enough not to add additional stress.
