Ever present, the pigeons patrol for scraps of food discarded by tourists. Taken near the abbey, Bath.
Taken with an f2.8 180mm Nikon lens which I had acquired just an hour earlier. I was passing one of my favourite shops, London Camera Exchange, by Bath Abbey when I spotted a mint-condition allegedly-used lens in the window for £150 below the best new price. I went straight in and nabbed it. It was spotless and the box, lens case and documentation were with it also (Greys of Westminster please note, your f2 135mm lens was also mint but minus the bits that should have come with it). What baffles me is why people buy expensive lenses like this and then don't use them. Anyway, my gain and I'll be turning it to astro-photography shortly.
So once again Oliver and Felicity made the journey in to watch me run the Bath haf.
I wonder what I'll say when Oliver asks "why do you do run around in a big circle for so long daddy?"
Oliver and Felicity were there to see me across the line and it felt magical.
Really I wanted a photo of Oliver in some shorts or something but I kind of ran out of energy so this is Oliver looking at the medal saying "why do I want this daddy, where's the chocolate they give you!"

The time for this year was 1:22:30, quite an improvement on last year and a new PB for me.
The tub was removed allowing for a large shower with wing wall. Plumbing had to be re-configured so the base of the shower was raised and a step added.
