Mike's Page's

Welcome to my Home Pages, I  hope you find it interesting, informative and worthy of a return visit.
I intend to review the page on a regular basis, it will include some topical information, useful links, photographs of the area and anything else that may be of interest that I can think of at the time.

Having used MS FrontPage 2003 to create these pages and with limited browsers to test them, I would appreciate any feedback on the functionality of them on your browser.

Personal Interests

My main interest is photography and there's nothing I like more than getting out and about to take a few pics.
I particularly enjoying going to Colchester Zoo. It's constantly evolving and changing, yet some of the animals  remain familiar.
If you take a look at the Gallery pages you'll see a variety of topics that that I've photographed over the years. Many have been taken with an SLR camera, but I have also been taking Digital images for quite a few years. Digital of course lends itself nicely to being 'enhanced' with a little tweaking here and there. I use Adobe Elements, I find it's more than adequate for my needs.

The other hobby that takes up some of my time is Genealogy, I have only been working on the family tree for short a short while, but it is starting to take shape (no shocks yet).

Chelmsford - A Potted History

Chelmsford, County Town of Essex, was first settled by the Romans, and now with a population in excess of 152,000 it is still undergoing considerable growth. Despite the ever sprawling construction, Chelmsford has a number of local Parks and country walks in close proximity. The view below is of Hylands Park, Widford.
This is only a small part of the gardens that sit at the centre of the grounds.
A grand house built in 1730  now owned by Chelmsford Council also sits at its centre.
