Photography

I'm a keen photographer, although I don't claim to have any particular skill! Here are a selection of my favourite recent snaps.

Knitting

A number of years ago my wife was looking for a hobby and I suggested she re-take up knitting. She did, and taught me the basics while she was learning - we both became hooked! I've found that knitting a few rows in an evening can be the perfect way to relax after a frustrating day. (Especially if it's been one of those "trying to research, but not seeming to get anywhere" sorts of day.) Well, why not?
