Over the past week, I’ve been playing around with the look and feel of the blog. First off, I changed the theme from the “as installed” one (blue background header) to a Vista style of theme. Latest step was to add a graphic to the header (the banner stuff at the top of every page you visit).  The graphic is the view across Portishead marina entrance and the old steamer pier towards Wales. Considering the blog is titled “Staying North” it’s probably quite appropriate that the view is directly north from where I took the photo.

Just by where the photo was taken, there’s an interesting bit of art – a set of stones of varying heights that when viewed from afar represents a wave. Up close, each stone has an inscription on it which links Portishead with its connections to the sea.
