Nigel's Old Gallery

Vic and I returned to Glastonbury for the 2003 festival. The weather was great, despite a couple of downpours. We had a very relaxing time and saw a few bands and acts.

Vic visited a bridal shop in Burgess Hill, and we spent the rest of the day in Brighton.

We went to Cardiff to see Peter Kay, and on the way back stopped for a day in Bristol. We stayed at the Hotel Du Vin in the very nice Veuve Cliquot suite.

The company had a Barbeque and Sports Day event at Mudchute City Farm, just across the road from our Dockland office. Free beer and food, what more could we ask for?.

Over Easter 2003, we visited Nigel's parents in Cleethorpes, and paid a visit to Lincoln, the county city of Lincolnshire.

On May Day Bank Holiday we walked through Battersea Park, the Festival Gardens, and across the Thames to Chelsea.

Another sunny day so Nigel and some colleagues went for a walk around Docklands, visiting the Dutch warship docked there.

Nigel finally asked Vic to marry him on 16th April 2003. Here are a couple of pictures of the engagement ring (0.5 carat diamond set in a platinum band from Jeremy Hoye's Entwine collection).

We went to Tromso, in northern Norway, principally to see the Northern Lights. Unfortunately the weather was unseasonably warm and cloudy so we didn't get to see them. We did have a great time though, going dog-sledding and visiting the polar centre.

Another visit to Mudchute City Farm, with more pictures of the other animals as well as some good ones of the llamas.

After spending Christmas Day and Boxing Day with Vic's family in Bury St Edmunds, we went up to Cleethorpes to visit Nigel's parents for a few days.

Some pictures of snow taken from the Netscalibur offices in Docklands.

Photos from the 2002 Netscalibur Uk Christmas Party.

And pictures from the day after the party, some sore heads in evidence.

Some pictures from Nigel's 36th birthday, and of a sofa being deliveryed to a penthouse flat near where Nigel works.

Pictures of the Netscalibur office at Selsdon Way, Cityharbour, and the newly refurbished Heron's Quay DLR station.

We went back to the Maldives in August 2002, to the same resort as on our previous visit. The pictures show the island from virtually every angle.

Just a couple of pictures of the llamas as Catanger Llama Trekking Centre which Nigel & Vic visited in September 2002.

Nigel works across the road from Mudchute City Farm in Docklands. There are all kinds of animals there, including llamas, goats, chickens, cows, pigs and sheep. These pictures just cover the llamas, but there are more of the other animals below.

We found this spider spinning a web in the back garden. It had a very distinct silver stripe down its back.

At the end of May/beginning of June 2002, we spent a long weekend in New York. We missed the Queen's Golden Jubilee in the UK, but had a great time, doing plenty of shopping and sight-seeing. Lots of pictures from the top of the Empire State Building amongst other things.

We both really enjoyed Glastonbury 2002, vowing to go back as soon as we could. The pictures were taken with a tiny l'espion digital camera.

We (Nigel & Vic) went to Verona for Nigel's birthday. The weather was very good and we enjoyed wandering around the sights and shops of Verona.

For Easter 2002, Nigel and Vic went to Prague. Once again the weather was excellent. We stayed at the Hotel Pyramida in Prague. Pictures include the Danube and bridges as well as the famous palace.

In September 2001, Nigel and Vic went to Koh Samui, in Thailand for two weeks. These are pictures of Chaweng (the main tourist resort), and the Samui Euphoria Hotel where they stayed.

Some more photos of the hotel and the beach at Bophut.

Nathon is the main town and port on Koh Samui. It's not as touristy as Chaweng, but doesn't really have much of a beach to offer. We went back to Chaweng which seems to get much more lively during the evening. This section also features a dog taking a lift on the back of a swimmer.

Pictures of Koh Samui and from our Safari expedition. The safari consisted of an ox cart ride, an elephant ride, and an elephant and monkey show. The elephant ride was fun, if a bit shakey. The elephants seemed to be quite happy, stopping occasionally to eat fallen coconuts.

Koh Phang Ngan is a smaller island adjacent to Koh Samui. It's much less developed and seems to be where the backpackers head for. Stopped overnight in Bangkok on the way back to the UK, staying in the Queens Park Hotel. It rained non-stop while we were in Bangkok so we didn't get to see anything of the city.

Lots of pictures of Nigel from when he was very young up to current times.

Pictures of various people Nigel worked with at BT MNS/Syncordia between 1992 and 1999

During 2000 and 2001, Nigel worked for Trivanti, a joint-venture between Psion and United Business Media. The company attended the WAP Congress event in Seville during late November 2000.

Pictures of the Trivanti offices and the area around it, Park Crescent, near Regents Park, also pictures from the M-Commerce Exhibition where Trivanti exhibited.

Nigel and his girlfriend, Victoria (or Vic) went to Iceland for Valentine's Day in 2001. They stayed in a hotel in Reykjavik, and visited the famous Blue Lagoon (though there aren't any photos of that here).

Trivanti had a company evening out in March 2001, including a visit to the London Eye, with two capsules reserved for our use. These photo's were taken from the eye at around 6pm, just as it was starting to get dark.

Nigel and Vic worked with Charles Thackaberry at Genie in 2000/2001. These pictures are from his leaving do, and feature quite a few of the people who worked on Genie from the BT side. Charles is an excellent chap!

In June 2001, Nigel and Vic visited Bath. They stayed in a hotel at Warminster and spent Saturday wandering around Bath on a great sunny day.

Nigel started working for Netscalibur UK in July 2001. At the time, Netscalibur had regular "Beer Bust" events, involing much drinking and socialising. These pictures are from the August 2001 event, which had a Caribbean theme.

Various people Nigel and Vic worked with, or are friends with, from around 1999-2001. Let me know if you want including/excluding.

Photos from the BT Syncordia Business Networks dry skiing trip to Hemel Hempstead dry ski slope.

Lots of pictures of our fantastic ginger cat, Fossil. As you can see, he's a bit of a poser!
