Impacted travel.

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 ?
