Outing to Oxford, July 2026

 I know, it's been a while since I posted anything here.   Life just seemed to get in the way, and nowthere is a lot to catch up with.   I have had another trip to Australia the year following my last trip in 2024.  Probably my last trip, so I wll put my photos from there up during quiet times this winter.   

The fist 'big' outing this year was a visit to Oxford with my neighbour Sheila's U3A group.  I am a member of the U3A, just not Sheila's group, but as she ofen has spaces on her tris. I often  along with my friend Angie, another photoraphy enthusiast.

A day trip to Brighton - July 2024

Image
 We travelled to Brighton by coach which we had boarded in Guildford at 9 am.   By 9.50 we had picked up the rest of the passengers and were on our way.  There was a half-hour comfort stop and we arrived in Brighton at around noon.  Angie and I had a quick lunch in the nearby Harvester and then made for the front and pier  We didn't go on the pier, but made our way alongside to take some photographs of the beach, the sea, and the pier.    The old pier, burned down many years ago. From here we made our way to the famous Lanes and then on to the more colourful North Lanes. The last three are views of the Royal Pavilion - we then left to get a welcome cool drink before boarding the coach for home.
