My trip - Clue No. 1 - Curved planet



Deeden guessed correctly, the previous image was Canada, Hudson Bay to be exact. This image was taken shortly after so it could be Manitoba. This is only the 1st clue. More to come. Isn't it wonderful to see the curved horizon in the North (click photo to enlarge).

It's snowing here today and bitterly cold but delightfully Mr P has had the heating fixed so no more sleeping in a woolly hat!

Home again

I'm back after long delays, missed connections, lost bags, no sleep and almost no food. Will blog later today with more images and clues from the memorable holiday. I'm enjoying your guesses. The photo is not Iceland and not Greenland, though I could have taken photo's of both places as I travelled.

My work - net experiments 1990-92

Once I they were covered in cat hair from the blanket I became less precious about some of my old net pieces...


Thanks for the encouraging words on that last post. I've been really wanting to visit you all on your blogs but things have been hectic here trying to get ready for my week away, which begins today. I'm supposed to be getting up in 3hrs, but it looks like I'm not even going to get to bed. My brother couldn't fit a tripod in his luggage so I'm ditching 1/3 of my packing to take one in mine - it's the least I can do since he's paying for my trip. I warned him that it means I'll look really scuzzy (having to leave behind nice clothes) to which he responded "that's ok, I'm used to that". Well, really! But it's true.

The weather is calming a little for travelling, what a relief. We are quite high up and don't have the protection of any high buildings or trees, and what trees there are were bending over like palm trees in a hurricane, except it was gale force sleet/hail that was hitting them. The noise was SO loud, like steel balls hitting the fragile shell of the mobile home. We're not used to this kind of weather here Last week there was an earthquake in England, big enough to be felt in Scotland. Crazy crazy weather. It can change in as little as 4 minutes, becoming a beautiful bright sunny day... then flip again just as fast.

I hope to blog a little while I'm gone, a bit of a 'guess where I am' thing, but I don't know if I'll have time to get on a computer, if I'm not on the road I'll most likely be trying to get some rest, I'm already exhausted and just trying to get ready. Fingers crossed the adrenalin gets me through. I hope you all have a brilliant week!
