1995

June

David and I had the holiday from hell in Mykonos. Our relationship was breaking up. It was a final effort to save it. That never works. There were lots of tears.

April

My 40th birthday party was a good one. We decorated the flat severely. Sadly the photos are a bit crap and the only people I recognize are Alice, David and Simon.

January

We were skiing in Meribel. Mum, Dad, Simon, Harry, Ruth and trevor are pictured. We had a foi gras lunch at Bistro La Praz. At the end of it Tom wanted just one more glass of wine. The proprietor said he did not do glasses of wine, only bottles. A friendly argument ensued. Eventually the prop got out quite a large glass, opened a bottle and poured the whole bottle into it. Honour was satisfied on all sides and Tom drank it. The event is pictured here. Trevor was obviously quite amused.

These are mainly pictures of snow in Boston. There are two of David looking glam.

June?

Trevor, Ruth and David accompanied me to gay pride.

More of the rabble at St Marys Mansions. Trevor, Emma, Pete, Jackie, Ian, Matt, Steven, Michael, Robert and David are pictured.

I went to Boston for a week on business. Dacid came with me and we rented a rather fabulous car. Rob and John, Boston friends, are are also featured.

Pictures from Swindon. David organized and starred in a fashion show. Annie, Ruth and Trevor feature too.

1992

Ruth's friends and mine in my flat in Swindon. Trevor, Carla, David, Alice, Simon and a brother.

July

I went on a hang gliding holiday with Alice in Piedrehita, Spain. We drove to Plymouth, took a 24 hour ferry to Santander and then drove across Spain to Piedrehita. One of my longest flights was 30km. Alice was my brilliant recovery driver. We also went horse riding, met two nice English guys and terrorised the ferry and Spain with super soaker water pistols.

1991

July

Hang gliding in Swindon, launching from a winch. Also pictured, my last girl friend Nancy and Trevor.

June

Simon Watson, Ruth , Trevor and I went on a cycling holiday in Normandy. We saw quite a few memorials and remnants of WWII. It was fun.

Casewise moved into a new office in Swindon. Enough space for 8 employees! (We only go to about 3, there). Casewise also attended its first trade show. Chris, Andy, David and I are pictured there. That would be more than half the employees. Ruth and Trevor are also pictured in the new office.

1989

May

I went to Ager with a group of English. These are mostly pictures of the ground from a great height or hang gliders. I made one good friend, Brendan on the trip. One blurry shot is of my altimeter, it reads 2300 or 2100 meters. The valley floor was about 500m high and the take off point about 1000m. The map (linked) shows the ridge where the take off point was, to the North of Ager. We sometimes flew North West from there over very inhospitable territory to Guardia de Tremp.

April

Mum, Dad, Trevor, Jackie, Kate, Tom, Simon, Harry, David, Camilla, David, Ruth and Trevor feature.

1977

June

In Summer 1977 I was lucky enought to get work diving in the North Sea during my Summer university holiday. My job was to help launch the yellow submarine. They also let me drive it once. 400 feet below the surface, I crashed it into a mud bank and it nearly got stuck. It was all very interesting and a great boost for my student income.
