Ten Days In Aberdeen
Folks at work have referred to my travels as a tour of Dying British Seaside Towns, and they maybe have a point. Bournemouth clearly has had better days, and Blackpool is less ‘faded glory’ and more ‘decaying remnants’, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that Aberdeen isn’t the crumbling industrial wasteland it was described…

Back In Aylesbury, Side Trip To Oxford
When we last spoke, I was leaving Bath & heading back towards Aylesbury on an unevenly-packed train, in what turned out to be a wildly uneventful journey. Most of the reason for a return to Aylesbury is to see friends, though the specific timing is because of a work Company Update in Oxford. ( They’re…

Bath – Sunday to Friday
The trip here was uneventful, but mostly because I boarded the train as soon as I could & got a seat. Not everyone did, because it was full of folks going to Penzance whose train was supposed to be leaving from Paddington, but was instead leaving from Reading. I don’t know why. Anyway, I had…

The Traveler’s Tale
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…

Breakfast At Wetherspoons
Had pre-work breakfast with many of the crowd from last night. The enthusiasm for a pre-work pint had faded, which is, I think, no bad thing. Does it make me a bad person if I want to see what an actual American would think of the Spoons ‘American Breakfast ‘? Pretty sure it does. Maybe…
