    1275 I had been to Moscow once, but the rest of the family had never been to any country that was once part of the USSR until our trip to Budapest. It’s an interesting mix. Still lots of Soviet-era buildings, but the people have removed all the statues reflecting the brutalist style of the Soviet…

    1114 I just posted the pictures of our visit to Cornwall. This was a birthday present from Marina – a big secret, well kept. We dropped the boys off with my parents, and took off westwards. It was a real thrill to find ourselves right out on the point of St. Andrews, finding our way…

    A spring trip to France, taking in the Paris Marathon, Euro-Disney (yuk!), and a few days exploring Brittany and Omaha Beach and Bayeux in Normandy. Paris by Eurostar 904 I love Eurostar.

    More travel, some inside the UK and some outside. Gong Xi Fa Cai, 2005 was our second full year in the UK. It’s been busy with school, work, and a lot of travel. It’s also been quite traumatic with family illness, and all of us getting a bit older. Wiser, I cannot say. Our 2004…

    I should point out that many of the pictures posted here were taken with film over the years and scanned in – but in any case, if you find them interesting, here they are. Posting photos on the web is problematic – you have to downsize them and compress them – neither practice is good…
