Had a little drive up to Kirkson Pass in the lake district last weekend - and it wasn't in the SAAB :)

Home at last

Well its been 10 months, a few flights, most of which were under 4 hours, and a lot of train travel, 15k miles on Amtrak alone, but I'm finally back in the UK.

Miami, no Vce

No posts for a while, but I've been recovering from the train journeys in South Beach, Miami, which is full of Art Deco & Bronzed bodies (which being America are either extremely thin or grossly fat).

Tomorrow evening I fly down to Brazil to see Rod, so I should be back home on the 12th, making approximately 10 months on the road.

Monuments & Aerospace

As you can see from the above pic, I'm now in Washington DC, home of many fine monuments, a certain pale residence, and most importantly the Smithsonian Air & Space museum.
Two complaints though - it's bitterly cold, and the only food option at the Air & Space museum is Macdonald's. Still they did have Spaceship One and a spitfire, and unlike most US museums were prepared to note & credit when something wasn't invented in the good old USA.
