I'm home ... three days in
Edinburgh, 2 days in
Cambridge, and I even have a one day course today in
Melksham - such is how busy we are. I've been taking the opportunity to take some pictures ... we live on a beautiful island, and even some of the views from the motorways, such as this one here, are pretty (and verging on the spectacular). The picture here is heading up between the Pennines and the Lake District towards Tebay (
more pictures) which is home to one of the few (perhaps the only) independent service area on the motorway network. A regular stop on my journey north - sit in the restaurant with what's usually a better-that-average motorway meal, looking out over the pond and the scenery beyond.
