March in photos
A few pictures from my travels in March 2017 🙂 A beautiful spring morning on a walk in Cambridge visiting a friend.

Derby Museum Volunteering, October 2016

Strawberries – one of my favourite poems

New Walsall Art Gallery, the images

In Bristol for the Open Data Camp
So I’ve been in Bristol since Friday afternoon attending the Open Data Unconference in the Watershed building on the city’s floating harbour. The weather has been beautiful and I was lucky enough to be travelling with a friend who knows the city well. I’ll hopefully get more time to write about the event and also…
