With Ashes fever taking over the World I think back to 28 December 2006 and our day at the MCG in Melbourne. I had always wanted to go on an Ashes Tour and, in particular attend the 100,000 seater Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day ever since I first saw it on Boxing Day [...] We went to Madrid in a large group (around 12 of us I think) in June 2004. Barcelona gets a lot of the press and cheap flights but Madrid is more then a worthy home for a few days. This is a picture of the Cervantes Monument, where we spent our final day with [...] Being a supporter of Manchester United and a follower of English Cricket I’ve had lots of opportunity to enjoy some of the finest stadia in the world. Here’s a little slideshow of some of my favourites (description below with links to relevant blog post). 1. Millennium Stadium, Cardiff 2. Santiago Bernabéu – Madrid 3. [...] I adored Hong Kong. It was my first taste of a bustling Asian city. We stopped off in Hong Kong for a few days on the way back from our Christmas and New Year trip to Australia.

We were in Australia over Christmas and New Year 2006/2007 for a group holiday taking in a few cities and the Ashes tour. To stand on [...] Four of the “Boys’ Holidays” I’ve been on have been 2-weeks long, one was spent in the mountains in the brilliant resort of Breckenridge, Colorado. This picture was taken at the highest point I have ever been (4,050m or 13,287ft). It was brutally cold (-35 celsius) but we wanted to show our team colours, we [...] A package holiday! We chose Cancun as our honeymoon destination in June 2007. A couple of friends had been there in the few years beforehand and highly recommended it. In the late 1960s the Mexicans wanted to increase the amount of Dollars coming over the boarder and invested heavily in the infrastructure to attract the [...] |
