A grand day out

This will be a post in several parts, but for the short version, we’ve just come back from a wonderful day out.  We set off early this morning to the Borough Markets, then wandered down the southbank of the Thames over the rest of the day stopping to visit

Finally, to prove I did do some work while I was there, here are some photos of the final day.  This, as you might recall, was the day I had hoped to go to the Boeing Factory, but instead I attended some final sessions with Microsoft after a realised that

Quirky Kirkland

I didn’t actually stay in Seattle, Microsoft are in Redmond and our hotel was in a small city next to Redmond (what we’d probably think of as a large suburb) called Kirkland.  It’s hard to describe the feel of this area, but basically it’s affluent.  Over

Jasper and the cat
