Although most of us will be stuck with massively hiked gas and electricity charges from now on there are still some winners (apart from Gulpy Brown getting increased tax takes from the various power companies as they continue to make their exhorbitant profits). I was thinking of that set of misunderstood workers - our burglars.
They have sometimes had a bad time of it - people not liking their property stolen and so on yet of course burglars have to make a living like the rest of us but they get really bad press. However the winter time will help them out - after all instead of breaking into just any old house and hoping the owners are still well off enough to have items worth stealing now all they have to do is to see if the house owner is rich enough that he/they/she can still afford to have their electric lights on. This will be much more efficient and save said burglars from wasting their time and effort.

Our series of Grand Union Canal photos and bridges continues to grow - one day soon we will complete the whole of this long canal - around 18 miles of walking to go. Latest series which takes the photos up to Norton Junction are now on our http://www.foxysislandwalks.co.uk/Gayton-Wolverton.html

web page.

Just finished a page about several walks to do whilst on holiday on Patmos - these walks are beach walks and also a couple of loops on monipaths. They can be found on our Patmos-walks page

We have re-organised some of church photo pages and combined the smaller pages into one set which can be found at English Church Photos

These Church pictures of local and parish churches relate to churches located in the English Counties of Bedfordshire, Warkwickshire, Leicestershire, Northants, Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire and Wiltshire.

The series on Bucks remain at  Buckinghamshire Church Photos as do our huge set of Oxfordshire churches which can be still be found at Oxfordshire Churches - A and L and Oxfordshire Church Photos - M and Y.

.. my wife shouts out that there is going to be another buy-election in Scotland and wondered whether when Gulpy and his crowd lost that he would at last quit and leave us alone in England. This - as things do of course and additionaly in view of what I was sat doing - made me think of the Blair. He has not been knighted yet or whatever - perhaps nobody could think of a title for him.

It did not take more than a few seconds though - it has to be “Lord Pinnochio”

The follow is a summary of what our various websites are about:-

England, Cyprus and Portugal - there are travel and holiday guides for both Cyprus and The Algarve - these series of pages contain lots of information about what you can find whilst on holiday - many photographs and also quite a few walks you might enjoy.
Our English topics have around 20 walks described mainly centred around The Chilterns - using National Trails like The Ridgeway and The Oxfordshire Way as well as several walks along The Grand Union and Oxford Canals. We also have 100s of photos of English Churches and English Wild Flowers. Last but not least having walked the Oxford Canal we have a photo of every bridge and lock - and a similar series of photos on much of the Grand Union Canal as well as its several side-arms.
New Zealand Following a long holiday in beautiful New Zealand there are pages of information (and many photos) about travelling on both North and South Islands - glaciers, thermal areas, tramping trails and so on.
Greek and Canary Islands Greek Islands are our favourite destinations abroad - we have around 20 Greek Islands described - travelling and holiday information as well as lots of walks, beach guides and many photos. There are similar holiday guides for the Canary Islands of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
Hong Kong, India and Singapore These holiday and travel guides cover Goa, Dandeli’s jungle area, Singapore, Hong Kong and Lantau Island - as always with many photos.
Egypt - Sharm el Sheikh and Luxor. Luxor is brilliant - there is nothing like Karnak for instance - the city is an ideal place for seeing many ancient sites - we did it all on our own and our pages describe this. Holiday sunshine especially in the winter? see our Sharm el Sheikh holidays guides.
