Back to Lincoln today
I stayed at a hotel near the Tower of London, very near to one of our London clients, so before heading back I dropped in for a tea.

After the snow I went into a snowless Edinburgh.

There was a convenient bench up in the hills for a tea break.
I had packed my titanium meths stove for this trip – my Alpkit gas stove o-ring seal has been giving me some problems. It was completely still, when I came to make some tea later in the evening, so I sat at the picnic table and brewed up.
Thursday
Lauder
And a “VR”.
I spent a showery afternoon, in the car, drinking tea and watching videos on my iPhone.
Friday – on the way to Lincoln!

I was heading out to walk a stretch of the Southern Upland Way this morning, when the rain started. So I shortened my route for the day and stayed local.
First stop was an excellent coffee and a bacon roll in The Spotty Dog cafe in Lauder.

Sunday in York
Diana and I went for a curry on Sunday night at Masala Kraft and I could not resist this from the menu.
Monday
From my visit to the National Railway Museum – an excellent way to spend the day whilst Diana was at the conference. Just don’t buy the coffee in the Dining Car Restaurant.
Trains are large subjects when you are trying to photograph them on an iPhone whilst trying to reduce the “people content”.
