Doctor Stu !

17th September 2009 goes down in history as the day Stu Brittle passed his PhD viva - congratulations Stu! Number 23 I think from the LB group. Few photos.......

Those clever spiders....

Morning - early morning on Saturday, I took this picture of a group of spider webs. They're even better on a freezing cold frosty morning in winter. As a kid in the Vale of York, they were a daily sight but the warmer climes of Sheffield mean that you rarely get the thick frosts needed. Anyhow, here is the summer version.

Guitar building

Hi All

Well, term is fast approaching and I'm beginning to psyche myself up for the new 131 first years (well about 125 are new and 6 are repeats having failed last year)! October 1st marks the beginning of my 19th year in Hicks!

Anyhow, to much more important things! I've finished building my first classical guitar! There'll be plenty more photos to come soon and hopefully a sound clip or two of me playing it, but just for now, here are two photos of "Juanita" in her case. The name "Juanita" by the way is because I was given loads and loads of advice and support for this project by a good friend at work, John C.

More soon.....
