I know that I’ve been utterly useless in my management of this blog lately, but I promise you’ll start to see things return to a regular schedule within the next week!
I am now at the University of Warwick having an insane time during Freshers’ Fortnight, hence the lack of updates.
The ‘Sweden Über-Post’ is on its way and it’ll be followed up by a few posts on life at Warwick as a fresher. Simply put, it’s awesome.
Stayed tuned (and bug me with messages so I don’t forget in a drunken stupor)!
Well, I’m back from Sweden. To put it simply, it was awesome. I had a really good time backpacking around the country and I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences with you on this site.
It will, however, be a few days before I start blogging about the trip. This is because I have a rather large number of photos to edit and prepare for an exhibition at Winchester College.
For now, I leave you with a sneak preview of what’s to come:

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. Don’t worry, though. Tomorrow is the big day when I (finally) go to Sweden with my friend Ollie Malpass for our epic photography trip.
We’ll be visiting Göteborg (Gothenburg to you and me), Malmö, Stockholm, Kiruna and the national parks of Sarek and Abisko. I guarantee that there will be plenty of awesome photos to show and tell you about. Hopefully we’ll see the Aurora Borealis, if the weather clears up next week.
I’m bringing my Mac along with me, so I’ll be posting almost whenever I can find an Internet connection.
Stay tuned over the next 10 days!

Those of you who check back occasionally will have noticed that I’ve been away for a while. Unfortunately, I haven’t done anything particularly exciting since I returned from Singapore, but I’ve been having a great time nonetheless.
The highlight of my month has been getting my A-level exam results. I was delighted to find that I’d got two A grades in Economics and English and a B grade in Biology, leaving me with ‘AABB‘ (the extra B being from Geography last year). Although two As and two Bs is fairly mediocre by the standards of Winchester College, I’m just elated that I’ll be going to the University of Warwick in October to study Biomedical Science.
Now I can watch House and feel like I’ll be doing a similar job one day, although with less drama, no walking stick and not as much sarcasm.
I wasn’t feeling in the mood to go to Winchester and celebrate with a pub-crawl, but on Friday my friends Alex and Patrick (left to right below) came round for a few drinks. Note Patrick’s style with the full-to-the-brim wine glass.

We also witnessed the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in GTA 4 (view the image’s photo page for a description):

Recently when I was watching Blow (starring Johnny Depp) with another friend, Sam, the spider pictured below ran out from under the sofa and interrupted the showing. It paid a sorry price indeed. It managed to take 5 sprays of Raid insecticide before finally giving up.

I’m going to Jersey tonight to spend a few days there (photos are a given). Next month I’m finally going on the epic trip to Sweden with my friend and co-photographer Ollie Malpass. I’m incredibly excited about the photography we’ll be doing there. Guaranteed to be more interesting than peaches and spiders.

This is just a brief post to let you know that I’m still here. It’s been a while since the last post, but I’ve been having a fairly hectic time lately, hence the silence.
A new full-length post will be coming soon, although I can’t place an accurate timeframe on it just yet.
