17.03.13 - Waterworld

There was no way the weather was going to spoil my birthday day out with the twins, but it did its best! We went up to the Castle in the morning, where they dug up skeletons in the archaeology tent and Amy tried her hand at archery. Then we went into town for lunch and were meant to spend the afternoon at the VW Campervan event around Brayford Pool. Jack loves VWs, especially old Beetles and campervans, but the sleety rain was just too much in the end. It could have been a great show, with a fantastic band playing and lots to do as well as look at the fun vehicles. This is a shot from the balcony at the Electric Bar, where I've taken my photo walks at night, I think it sums up the weather!

Thankyou for all the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday, they helped to dry us out :)
Taj Mahal; The Perfect Storm
Taken in the middle of the day, a storm suddenly arrived and all hell broke loose on us while we where in the middle of the way to the Taj, costed me a lens!
