Ok so I realise its a little premature but never mind, I'm sure everyone is looking forward to the long weekend ahead, and some of you lucky teacher types will be enjoying the further fortnight that you will be getting! Sadly I have to wait for my Easter holiday, although only a couple more weeks so not a total disaster!

School for me is going well, I've started picking up a few more classes now and after this weekend I'll be approaching my full teaching timetable although its pretty tame by normal teacher standards - but hey I'm only a trainee!

I can't believe its almost been a year since Dani and I set off on our big europe adventure, the last year seems to have passed me by a bit. Anyway only about 10 weeks or so left of the course and then . . . well who knows whats in store, all plans are out the window and Dani and I are currently playing it by ear! I'm hoping to give this page a bit of a face lift, its long overdue I think, but I guess we shall see what time I get, plus there of course is the problem that I'm pretty poor on the creativity and design front!

Right I think that's about me all done, no major news, Dani and I both pretty alright - I got an A on my 8000 word university assignment which I was pretty chuffed about and thats pretty much it really. I'll try and think of something else to write soonish. I hope everyone is well, its always nice to hear from everyone, sorry I've been a bit poor on the communication front the last year or so . . . see / talk to you soon. Cheerio ta ta

The short bleak days are almost over and spring is on it's way. Just another week until it officially arrives and things start warming up. The weather has started to improve over the last week although it's still faily changable which is confusing the central heating. A lack of thermostat in the flat means we can be anywhere between cooked and frozen which is not entirely ideal. School are running a photography competition with a theme of spring so it prompted me to have a look back through photos I've taken this time of year over the last few years. I've included a few of my favourites below.

This blue tit was taken from the bedroom window at my mums in Sheffield. I really like the colours and brokeh in the photo. You can just see the leaves starting to unfurl on the branches

This one was taken a few years ago now, in the back garden at our old house in Leeds. I like the sharp colour of daffodil petals against the dark fence in the background.

This last one is taken at one of our favourite spots in Leeds, Roundhay Park. It's a great place for a walk all times of year and I have some great photos from all types of weather.

I hope you've enjoyed the photos. Let me know which one is your favourite.

As part of the ongoing website facelift, I've made some changes to the front page and site CSS. I've currently dumped the dark grey colour previously used across the site for fonts and the header banner in favour of black. I've also made a bit more of the adventure links on the front page and restyled the image preview to use the new justified gallery plugin used throughout the album. I'm pretty pleased with it for now, but let me know in the comments if you spot any bugs.
