  • More photos, this time from Aylesbury; I didn’t take any on the trip down from Edinburgh, or through London, or out to Aylesbury. Aylesbury has a branch of the Grand Union Canal, and it runs past two sides of the hotel…

  • This is one of those “I Take Too Many Photos” posts; Just so’s you know. In the space between the phone interview & the face-to-face one, I stayed in North Berwick for a couple of nights. I’d been told about…
