Debbie and I love to travel. Together we have been to various place in the UK, Europe and the USA on vacation.

I lived in the USA for 15 years prior to returning to the UK in 2009, and previously lived in New Zealand for 9 months back in 1987-88. I have also been to a number of countries in Central & South America for work, as well as the Caribbean, Kenya and Papua New Guinea.

We both have the travel bug, and here are some recollections about the places that we have visited.

Come To Bournemouth Before The Summer Ends

1 Comment

Before the summer finally ends, pay a visit to Bournemouth and other beautiful and historic places in Dorset on the South Coast of England. Explore the sandy beaches of Sandbanks and marvel at the Millionaires Mansions. Take a ride across the entrance to Poole Harbour and across to the Isle Of Purbeck. Spend a day wandering the streets in Christchurch with it’s historic Priory church, or drive through The New Forest, and see horses, cattle and deer wandering free. There is so much to do in the Bournemouth area. Come visit soon.

Southampton Old Cemetery

The old cemetery in Southampton has seen better days, but it’s full of monuments and graves related to the Titanic and major battles such as the Charge Of The Light Brigade and the Boer War. The old cemetery is a great place for photographers to pick from a myriad of subjects.
