Days Out
Well I've been back from holiday for a few days now and am still wishing I was in Scotland. It's SUCH a nice place!
If you need some convincing on whether or not the scenery is worth it, check out our Flickr Scottish Holiday group.
Below are a selection of snaps from the holiday

Days Out
A day later than I wanted to but here are some photos I took while at the Saturday Muse concert at Wembley Stadium - the first sell-out show at the new venue in North London. They're also the first "proper band" to play there (George Michael is a solo artist).
Well I'm back home - fortunately my flight was better leaving the US than it was entering. I only managed to snap 7 photo's, however I've had them on Flickr almost as soon as I'd taken them. I've also now created a Flickr group which is completely public and free to join. Please add your photo's to this pool!

Days Out
Well - It took us 10 hours longer than it should have done to get to the US - but the first day of the OSCMS (Open Source Content Management System) Summit 2007 sponsored by Yahoo! is over. What a day its been!
Well Day 2 is starting soon. Lets see what this beautiful new day brings!
I'm really torn about what talks to do today. The first scheduled talks are really clashing! I want go to both the Drupal Lightning and the Drupal Profiles talk. After that, I think the Yahoo Pipes session sounds interesting. Then I'm torn between the FormsAPI talk and the Date + Calander talk.
Well thats it - this year's DrupalCon hosted by Yahoo! at their Open Source CMS Summit 2007 is over. Winding up the conference are the Lullabot guy's doing their podcast.

Days Out
This evening I went out to a pub called The Woodman in Ide Hill with my Uncle and his friend. Its been a while since I've been out to a nice pub and this one certainly is a nice pub!
You can see from the photo (click to enlarge) that the interior makes for a very warm and inviting environment. The staff are friendly and polite. There is a wide variety of drinks and the ale selection is, although limited to 3 pumps, good quality. They were serving Old Speckled Hen, Bombardier & Youngs Special.

For those who dont know, Lydden Hill is a circuit located near Canterbury in the south-east of England (UK). They host many events, but the one I'm interested in is called Lydden Hill BRCC 2006 meeting. Lydden was the first circuit to ever host a Rally Cross meeting - its where it was born
