I love travelling - meeting people, seeing places in giving courses in another country or on another continent. And so much the better when we can catch up (much overdue) with relatives and friends there. But it's so good to be home.
We arrived at about quarter past 10 this morning, local time in the UK, having left our hotel in Troy, New York State at around 2 p.m. the previous afternoon (that's Bristish time too - it was 9 a.m. their time); a long journey via Amtrak and Continental which (perhaps) wasn't the quickest and easiest way, but was a further
experience. So as you can imagine, my body clock is up the swanny.
I'm consciously NOT working / turning my head to anything online today (but can't resist the odd reply and of course writing here!) ... but I have - with help - taken down a 6 metre by 8 metre marquee (much easier than putting it up!) and caught up so much with things back in the UK. Pictures, and pieced on Python, to follow tomorrow.
