    Well, I slept badly, but that’s to be expected with pre-holiday nerves & a cold of some sort. There were very short lines at the Aer Lingus check in, but still, it took a bunch longer than expected. I’m not sure why, but the chap dealing with my check-in had troubles, so did the person…

    A brief badly planned stop, as it happens. I left Blackpool on the Friday & made it to Aylesbury in pretty good time thanks to a lucky connection at Preston where the train arrived as I got to the appropriate platform. The reason for the trip was a birthday BBQ “Sausage Party” for Becs on…

    I’m trying to combine a round-up of all of the other bits of Canterbury, plus some sort of round-up of how the working process went. Let’s see how this goes, shall we? The Roman MuseumDid this on on the Sunday, partially by accident because while I’d planned to go to it, I was just out…

    I’m expecting to go through a few iterations of the packing scheme before I get it right. Today’s version had the everyday clothing in the low compartment, the stuff I thought I’d need as soon into a hotel room in the very top compartment, and everything else in the middle, as a sort of protection…
