I'd live there.

Goddamn it I need to invest in a camera! Great pics Sundae, soon as I acquire a camera I'll post some piccies of Halifax in Yorkshire (Calder Valley)

YAY!!!! I can't wait!! Kinda Bronte country, isn't it?

One of my best friends lives in Sowerby Bridge - thats the same part of the world I think? Its certainly a beautiful. Looking forward to it!

The Cathedral spire reflected in the windows of the BBC buidling opposite.

New pics
 

I moved offices in March, but what with being off with depression and all, I haven't been taking any pics. Anyway, here are a couple from my office window.

They don't show anything special, but figured you might as well see what I see every day!

First is literally my view, although it looks closer in real life :)

The second is from my Manager's office, showing the road I walk home along and the corner of the station (sand coloured building lower right).

I gotta get to England. I feel like it's an obligation, since I speak the language. Any good pubs near work?

Then the Leicester County Court (new red brick building) and our closest NCP carpark!

If you were here, you would be able to see Victorian Leicester on the first and second floor of modern shops. And the lines of green hinting at Leicester's parks and avenues. But of course photos (at least my photos) only give you the nearest buildings.

Lots of cranes, is there a lot of building going on?:D

Yes - they are renovating a part of the city that used to be run down factories. Some are being converted into flats but they are also building a new theatre. I'm quite excited by the project, but mostly because they've put coloured lights on all the lamp-posts, which made me go "oooh!" when I first saw them. Easily pleased, me.

For me a good pub is somewhere I can sit down, hear the conversation of the person/ people I am with, and I can afford to get a round in. By my criteria there are lots nearby :) But even my fussier colleagues seem to think we're well placed.

Am meeting my friend at the station tonight, we often walk home together and we'll probably stop in a pub on our way that does Beer n Burger (or Beer n Curry) with a pint of lager for £2.95 - $5.56 to you. I know it's cheap to eat out in the US, so let me put that in perspective here. A McDonalds meal costs £3.19 and a foot long Subway £4.10

Meh, we have to put up with students (2 Universities here) but if you go out after work they haven't even got up yet.

Sunset from the Office
 

Nothing special, just what I'm seeing tonight.

My kids tease me from time to time about how I'm so easily amused. I keep telling them that those who are easily amused will go through life happy.

Well , I am British , and thank Gawd I do not live there .

Any particular reason?
Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but I'm pretty fond of my adopted home.
