Observations 18-22/02/13

Here is a long observations post for the days between 18th and 22nd February. I went on a long trip on the 23rd especially, seeming as I did not know the H28 buses were actually in service on that day (James has covered it) - the observations are on a different post. This meant I have gone to many places over the week, and here are some observations from the week:
