A real highlight of the holiday for me was when I got to go to the Salvation Army corps/church in Lisbon. I had a great time, met some very ...

Another day, another view. This was taken from the Belem Tower in, well, Belem.

The Castelo de Sao Jorge sitting high on the hill above central Lisbon.

A view of Lisbon from the King George VI Park, near Marques de Pombal.

In Portugal for a few days with the family. We arrived late afternoon, and decided to go for a little stroll around Lisbon's beautiful c...

I keep finding paint on me after yesterday!

Today we set off for Walthamstow for a day of decorating and cleaning at the Salvation Army there. It was a fantastic day, and you can read ...

Sang six songs at the Salvation Army in Hadleigh today, and was for the first time accompanied for half of them by my brother on guitar. He ...

What Was I Thinking: Part II Again, I have absolutely no idea why I took this photo or what it's supposed to signify... I can only apolo...

Yet another sad day...

Look how much I lived on the edge today!

I have one week in which to learn Portuguese. I reckon I might do it!

In a big to make my life more exciting, look how long I left it before taking today's photo! :D

Yesterday at the Army people kept asking whether or not I'd seen the Open University programme about the Faroe Islands. I hadn't, so...

What Was I Thinking: Part I - I have absolutely no idea why I took a photo of the clock and ceiling in our dining room. No idea at all. Any ...

Today I had to sit and have a big sort-out of all my mitchenstein photos - I'm a little behind with putting them online! (Haha, John sai...

Aldgate Jungle Underground Station

ANOTHER walk! Sun above the shore. I've become VERY arty now, haven't I? It won't last.

Another walk. The yacht masts at dusk.

A new bench for the garden. I'm the one who lugs the flippin' thing up the High Street, and Paul's the one who gets all the glor...

A nice family meal at the Rettendon Bell in, well, Rettendon.

I've decided to start going on walks, like I did when I was in the Faroes. When I was there, I was constantly thinking about what might ...

And again.

I am absolutely shattered. Music School has COMPLETELY taken it out of me this year.

Hamburg Central Railway Station. My favourite hangout when I lived in Hamburg and had no friends (don't worry, I got some) - it was good...

The psychedelic lamp at my friend's flat in Hamburg. Pretty cool, huh?

This was taken at about 5am. It's tradition on the last night of music school to attempt to go straight through without going to bed. He...

Sarah and myself after a trip to the ice-cream parlour (after the final concert). Going to Germany just wouldn't be the same without it!

CLASSIC! Tonight we played 'Beat the Drum'. Oh yes, there's actually a Salvation Army board game. It's from Canada I think, ...

Start 'em young!

Sarah and Tim with their, and I quote, "Postmodernist Tambourine March". Pretty cool, but I'm just glad some of the older peop...

I'm sorry, but the view from my room sucks this year. Last year I had this . This year, my balcony isn't actually off the floor, and...

OK, this is a photo of a photo my friend Raphael took, but I thought it was pretty cool. Everyone thinks it looks like a photo from a Salvat...

It has absolutely CHUCKED it down today. Proper torrential. But I'm not sure how well that comes out on this picture... But take my word...

Chilling by the lake. And realising that others had decided to turn my legs into a garden.

I don't care how punctual German trains are. If they only come twice an hour, it doesn't really matter, does it? Waiting at the airp...

Bag packed again and tomorrow morning (at 3am) I've off to Music School in Germany. Highlight of my year!

Getting artistic on the train home...
