Welcome!

Bored by Cotswold Morris?  You've heard of real bread and real ale?
Have a look at Silurian Border Morrismen of Ledbury's site to find out what Real Morris is all about.
Silurian was 40 in 2009 - see some photos of our Worcs. Tour

The first theatre in the world to open in 2000 was The Market Theatre in Ledbury, Herefordshire.

Why the Total Eclipse above?  I took this photo about 25km north of Bucharest on 11th August 1999, where we got a good viewing.  See more - shame about Cornwall....

Sometimes during an eclipse, the moon is too far away to cover the Sun's disc completely.  Such an occasion was the Annular Eclipse of 3rd October 2005, which I witnessed during a cycling holiday in Spain.

Further on matters astronomical, check out Celestia - a fantastic solar system (and further afield) simulator that runs under Windows.  The best part is that it's free!!  You'll need a good graphics card, but otherwise it works reasonably well on an 800MHz machine.  If you get into using its script files to re-run eclipses, etc, you will need a Julian Date calculator.  My version, which was cribbed from the US Navy's site, also works in timezones east of London(?!?) - see more.

Want an accurate clock?  Click here for an explanation of why the US government's official clock doesn't necessarily display the correct time for your local timezone.  Also included is a link to a very useful site that can display an accurate clock within an IFRAME on your own website.

Have a look here for other utilities I have amassed..
