For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.
Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!
I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Caen Hill and Olivers Castle
It's October - but yesterday was a lovely evening and after the course finished for the day, Mark (one of our delegates) and I went out and spent a brief period looking at some of the local countryside. This is canal side at Caen Hill - about five miles from us.
A handful of miles further on, on the edge of the Downs, is Oliver's Castle - named after Oliver Cromwell, who fought here in the battle of Roundway in the English Civil War. There are boards on the site telling you all about it, and it's a nature reserve too where you can see the local flora and fauna.
The days are drawing in, and there's not much time to take photos before dusk at this time of year - soon, we were onto sunset shots - here with the gaunt trees of Oliver's Castle
And a final shot as a heron comes in to land for the night at Caen Hill. (written 2008-10-10)
