i went to the lovely town of bath yesterday to see whether it's worth me applying for associate membership of the royal photographical society.  (i think it is by the way!)

all over bath is an exhibit of photos of different parts of the world showing the impact of global warming etc.  I think the exhibition is touring round different towns as i think i may have seen some of the pictures in london.

anyway, it really brought home to me how far away New Zealand is.  But at the same time how the world really is so small (before anyone mentions it, i know this is a scale map, and not actual size)

on the way back i popped by stonehenge (more photos to come on that) and there was a lady wearing the world as a hat.  again, not actual size.  but a reminder of our impending departure on the 11th October.
