Yesterday was Sunday and I recovered from my flight. Hosts Ben and Christie took me around the sights - seeing the canal, a terrific set of locks and some of the local coastline. Fascinating place, steamingly hot.....

The all American burger
A selection of iconic New York images I collected whilst in transit yesterday......
"Baby" (email from New York)
Extract from an email I sent to Anne yesterday whilst waiting in the transit lounge at Newark Liberty Airport ....
Sitting in transit waiting for onward connection. My flight (from Bristol) was fine I had a big man sharing my row of 3 but because he was big they left a seat between us free which was a bonus. He was a nice guy - from DC but been working in Bude for 3 weeks. He was looking forward to seeing his daughter.
Sunny in New York, but snow on the ground. NY has a nice feel about it and the people seem friendly. An airport security woman just called me "Baby"...
Onward to Panama, more to follow....

A trip to the 'homeland'
Last Thursday Angus joined me on a train trip north to stay with Grandma the weekend: I had some work with Trevor Page from Lancaster Uni on the Friday. On Saturday Dave brought Lily across to Kirkby Lonsdale to join Angus, whilst Dave and I went onward to Wasdale, for 48 hours of hill walking and fun with Adrian and friends, staying at Burnthwaite farm, a beautiful spot where we stayed 4 years ago when Angus was a new born. This is now an annual event (see March in Snowdonia last year) and the crack and the company was just terrific, as ever. We went over the Scafell range on Saturday and assaulted Yewbarrow on the Sunday. The weather was relatively mild and the lighting lovely as ever - I put some photos of the trip on the web. See stories also from Dave and Adrian - I like the story about the jeans!
