Breakfast or lunch delivered!
Submitted by admin on 26 June 2008 - 4:24pmI've just created a website for a very nice chap called Ed who has just started a breakfast and lunch delivery service in Bath. He's not charging delivery at the moment while he's getting established and there's no minimum order so give him a try, he's getting good feedback and repeat business.

Grand Designs
Submitted by admin on 21 February 2008 - 10:14amDid anyone see this? What was the verdict? I thought Kevin McCloud was unusually non-committal about the actual architecture. Maybe because it wasn't 100% finished he didn't want to talk too much at the end about the 'design context'?
I also knew that the groundworks were difficult but i hadn't realised how tough it had been, with neighbours wall falling down etc.
See the channel 4 site about it: http://www.channel4.com/4homes/ontv/grand-designs/houses/B/Grand-Designs...
If you missed the programme it's on again on Saturday (23rd Feb) 8pm.

Google Earth
Submitted by admin on 3 October 2007 - 11:35amI haven't looked at Google Earth (http://www.google.co.uk/earth) for a while, but with the better resolution for Bath I've had a quick look again. Some interesting new things have been added - you can overlay photo points now, and can also browse photos that others have added (turn on the "Geographical Web" layer from the list bottom left).
Using this i found an interesting view of the Hill: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2700361

'Grand Designs' arrival
Submitted by admin on 27 July 2007 - 8:47amLooks like the 'new build' near the top of the hill is into the next phase. Road closures for a few days, and 2 lorries with large prefab panels are on site. No sign of Kevin McCloud yet - let us know of any sightings! (Does anyone know if 'Grand Designs' are still covering this build? I believe Kevin only lives near Frome, so it's not far for him!)

Submitted by admin on 23 May 2007 - 11:10amJust over the road from Gareth and Monika, we had a baby boy on Friday night. Johnny Jackson Dawson was born 6lbs 12 oz at home (appropriate as our house on Dunsford Place used to be a Maternity Nursing Home in the 1940s!).
