After my week's work I've just had a couple of days with Rich in Bristol, which was great. He took me to the Albany Centre, which is an old chapel where circus performers can
practise their stuff.
This is Rich and Nikki doing their routine.
One evening we took a stroll though the Bristol Docklands,
where we indulged in a NewYorker Martini, which was really
delicious, before dining in a new Thai Restaurant!
My route through Shropshire and the Borders was punctuated by rape fields of flueorescent yellow. Even without the sun, the countryside is lovely at this time of year.

Hi Pat,
How lovely that you're traveling again! An American writer, Mary Morris, whose birthday is today (May 14th), brought thoughts of you. She's a fiction and travel writer who has traveled all over the world and who has written, "Life only seemed to come together for me in stories and in journeys and those two 'narratives' — one of the mind and the other of the road — have shaped my life."
Thanks for that interesting quote... haven't heard of this writer but I totally concur with her observation.
Here are 3 books by this author, whose titles may ring a bell for you: Nothing to Declare: Memoirs of a Woman Traveling Alone (1988); Wall to Wall: From Beijing to Berlin by Rail (1991); and House Arrest (1996), a novel about a travel writer who is forced to stay home.
No I haven't come across these, but will now look out for them!
