For me, blogging was stuck obstinately on the 'to do', rather than the 'done' list, so here's a quick catch up of 2012, to bring my adventures back in Britain up-to-date.
Monasterio de piedra (Zaragoza, Spain) |
February - snow fell and out came the black and white film to capture Birmingham's spellbinding industrial past
March - David Hockney takes me back to Saltaire and reminds me of the perennial beauty of the English countryside
April - spring blossomed and Birmingham burst into bloom
May - Brunel's mighty feats of engineering made themselves felt in marvellous Bristol
June - the heat of summer in blazing Spain
Meet the parents at Lincoln Cathedral |
August - a welcome return to the Jewellery Quarter
September - getting back on the horse (or learning to drive again)
October - turning 30 in Paris
November - a return to the eternal city
December - Birmingham is at its most magical at Christmas-time
