Consultant lifestyle - making the most of on the road?

I know a lot of men think that all women are always looking for potential boyfriends/husbands but believe me, in this day and age, that just isn't true anymore.

Oh tickety tock, biological clock.

Swindon is a pleasure I will shortly be enjoying. Currently I'm doing 3 days near Portsmouth and 2 closer to home (commutable) but will be off to Swindon soon (probably the same gig, 3 days away, 2 at home).
Will I be needing the body armour for a night out in Swindon then?

More like electrodes to keep yourself awake there.

As a Swindon man, I feel I have to defend the town.

Tourism
Tourist Attractions in Swindon

You'll never be lost for things to do and see in Swindon. The town is famous for the Great Western Railway works, which has today been brought alive at the award-winning museum STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway. Swindon is also enriched with Victorian parks and gardens, areas of extended woodlands, museums, galleries and centres of heritage like Lydiard House, an elegant Georgian abode set in rolling parkland.

For lovers of music and spectacle Swindon is definitely the place for you. Choose your festival; Old Town Festival, Swindon Summer Festival, Forest Festival, World Music Festival and many more. Our staggering array of bars, clubs and nightclubs ensure that there is always something to do.

Shop till you drop in the town centre or at the fabulous McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Centre or small curiosity shops in Old Town.

If sport is your thing then look no further – ice skating, swimming, hiking, cycling, golf, ten pin bowling, tennis, horse riding – plus much more. Whatever your sport Swindon’s got it covered.

There are a number of museums and heritage sites celebrating Swindon's industrial past and for anyone interested in buildings and architecture, the National Monuments Record Centre should not be missed. And if our industrial heritage appeals to you, then you will want to check out the overflow facility of the Science Museum at Wroughton.



So there you go, we have some musuems, shops, some bars AND once a year a few very low key muisic festivals. And unlike every other town, a sports centre. Beat that!

I took a Danish friend to Swindon just to see the roundabout. And that is all we did in Swindon: drove around the roundabout and went out again.

They've got one of those in Hemel Hempstead, or they did, not been there in 10 years. One huge roundabout in the middle and 7 mini ones arranged around it. You could go both ways around the big one but only one way around the mini ones.

Known locally as the "Magic Roundabout" for obvious reasons
