The i-Pad refuses to talk to Blogger. Then, after a couple of days, it changes its mind and chats away happily. Go figure.
We're in London which has been a decidedly summery 26 degrees. Today it's colder.
The journey down passes fields full of new born lambs and hawthorn in full bloom. The train runs to the minute. From Edinburgh it takes a bearable four hours. From up here it takes an hour longer. For some inexplicable reason that extra hour makes a difference. Flying from Dundee is probably just as quick but the timetable is 'impractical'.
We act like country cousins and comment on the price of tomatoes in the greengrocers.
The hotel is quiet and the restaurants have been half empty. Is this because it's still the school holidays and parents are off with their youngsters ? Or, is it a sign that the war in the Gulf is already having an impact on travel ?

There will be a collective sigh of relief around the globe... Meanwhile, enjoy your visit, those temps, avoid the tomatoes... YAM xx
It is great to hear from you, you were missed.
A degree of relief on this side of the pond as well.
Welcome back and enjoy your WE.
The price of the heirloom tomatoes made my eyes sting. And before someone else says it, yes, I am probably turning into my grand- mother.
Does anyone really pay such a high price for their tomatoes? An eye-watering price ideed, and do they taste that much better?
It must be strange to see such an empty London. It's been somewhat quieter here too, so I wonder if people are staying home for their holidays. We'll know later in the year if it's on- going.

At least the tomatoes are 'heirloom'. The ghastly commercial things we get from Queensland out of season cost easily that much in our currency - and are completely tasteless
Wonderful to hear from you, again. It's always a pleasure to read what is happening in your world.
