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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Britsol Temple Meads, Temple Quay and floating harbour

Temple Meads station was the terminus of Brunel's original Great Western from London to Bristol. When it was extended to Exeter and Plymouth, this magnificent train shed was built and it remains largeley intact today - one of the few local stations to retain its former glory.

The original train shed (prior to extension) still exists off to one side, although sadly used as a car park these days.

Bristol's tideless dock - the floating harbour - runs up to near Temple Meads where it's more river-like - indeed, this is the start of the feeder canal which runs up to the river Avon.

This unusual curved suspension bridge takes foot travellers and cycles over to the next area to be developed.

The ferry from near to Temple Meads will take you along the floating harbour to the Industrial Museum, the Waterfront, and the centre of Bristol.

And at the end of the day, you'll want to brave the crowds for your train home.
