I quite like planes – in fact, if it flies, I love it. Difficult to resist using this as the picture of the day then. Also, I partly chose this one to show that it’s been yet another beautiful day here in Lancaster and partly to show off the new look site.

I’ve settled on having one massive picture – so you can see the intricate detail. The original redesign was nice, but it often caused people to get a side scrolling bar in their browsers – turns out I’ve got a widescreen, which I didn’t even know, but it meant that I never noticed that the new site was too wide. Pretty much the exact opposite reason was the cause of the revamp in the first place!

Anyway, all of the above means that the site is still wider than before, but not too wide because there’s nothing more annoying than having to shift a page sideways, and you can see the ins and outs of the picture – in this case the lovely aeroplane.

It’s a shame planes pollute so much – even in this age of easyjet and ryanair I still attach a certain romance to flying. When I see them from the ground I always stop to look up and wonder where they’re going; reminds me in an instant of everywhere I’ve been.
