Lancaster University building works, and Windermere air show

Just a little update because I haven’t added much to here for a while. I’ve posted a few photos of the university as it’s in the middle of building work – demolition of lots of old accommodation blocks and landscaping sections which used to be roads. I’m hoping to be able to collect together some photos from similar perspectives covering the three years I’ve been a student here, just to see how things have changed, but I’ll have to sit and sort through *every* photo of the university I have which…could take a while. For now these will do.

This is a picture of the new accommodation for Furness (in the foreground) and Fylde, with the corner of what was inner Fylde accommodation up until about three weeks ago. Its strange that it’s finally gone, they have been knocking it down ‘during the summer’ for the whole time I’ve been at uni, even getting as far as soft stripping the interior before realising they needed to house students in it the following year and having to put it all back in. What was more amusing was they let the previous occupants redecorate the whole building in whatever styles they wanted as part of a competition, so everything needed redoing, I bet it cost tonnes. All flat now though. Well almost.

The other pictures I have to talk about are ones from the annual air show in Windermere. I have to say I didn’t get any great pictures this year, we were constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time; behind trees, on a boat, on a train, in a pub. Some are interesting though, this one is off the Army parachute display team, the Red Devils who were amazing. I definately would not like to be falling from the sky attached to 3 other men.

On a side note, thank you for the comments – I didn’t realise I had comment moderation turned on and have only just noticed somewhat belatedly, but its nice to know people have been looking and that some of you have found it interesting. I’ll try to keep finding nice things to post.
