The Trip to Swansea

I went yesterday to lecture at the Swansea University of Business and Economics at Swansea. I always thought it was grotty in Wales, but its a nice little town. But I took some photo's on the way with my dinky little camera phone. Its an ok camera, you can take some reasonably good photo's with it, but only web quality.

Here's Paddington Bear at Paddington Station, it has loads of fond and loving memories for me specially with shaking hands! :). Paddington Station also has a statue of one of my hero's, Isambard Kingdom Brunel! He is the chap who designed this station and many others. We no longer have men like that :(
