Heysham Nuclear Power Station. Quite blurry, but it is eleven miles away. I’ve spent a lot of time there. +1

Morning run at Grange-over-Sands — the return leg, with the railway station caught in a shaft of sunlight.

Morning run at Grange-over-Sands — From the Netherwood Hotel along the entire length of the promenade and back was just over two and-a-half miles. Just right for my morning run. 2

Netherwood Hotel & Spa, Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria. We are here for a couple of well-earned rest days before heading to Glasgow, and our final business event.

Flickr meet-up — We first met Jacqi in person in 2008 at Bletchley Park in the UK. Then again in Springfield, Missouri as she traveled to her new home in New Zealand in 2011.

Dressing Room at St. Benedict’s B&B — Complete with a home altar, storage, and, of course, the en-suite. +1

Our room at St. Benedict’s B&B — What an absolute gem this B&B was. We stumbled upon it quite by accident, and it was wonderful. +1

Fox — seen on the way to visit my brother. +1

HMS Prince of Wales — Today is our last full day at Gunwharf Quays. We took a stroll along the Millennium Walkway to pass the time and were there to watch HMS Prince of Wales leave Portsmouth Harbour.

Interesting things happening in front of our hotel — We were fascinated by the construction of this miniature golf course going on below our hotel window.

Ginger watching the dawn at 30,000 feet. We are off on the first leg of a visit to the UK. Our first since 2019.

Early evening on an Ozarks farm road — It’s all looking very lush and green. Nowadays this road has a lot more traffic than it used to. One-minute read.

Last of the sun — The last of the sun was catching the trees behind the house.

Four deer — They were about 100 yards away and very interested in what we were doing, which just happened to be, watching them.

Another Hat — I bought myself something with a large brim that was also lightweight and airy for the summer.

I’ve been shopping — It looks like a lot, but at 2-300 rounds per trip to the range it won’t last long. Now I’ve just got to find space to store it all in the gun safe.

It’s that trail cairn again — By one-thirty I had camp squared away, and I started an uneventful hike back to the trailhead. +2

Jus’ Chilling — The six-mile hike back to the trailhead should only take three to four hours (depending on if I stop for lunch), so I can sit back, take it easy, and enjoy the forest for a while. +1

Day Two. Late Breakfast — Biscuits and Gravy, and a cup of Rosie Lee.
