August - the adventure begins

So here we are; early August and we are preparing for our holiday to the USA which starts on Wednesday. Ed isn't coming with us - we did offer - but is staying at home to do some work and other Yeti-like stuff in his darkened cave. My two girls and I are flying out to San Fransisco to start our holiday and prepare for Lisa's 50th Birthday celebrations.

We are just about packed (I'm not allowed to take al my cameras away with me as I apparently have to many; and I cant take all my lenses so have just chosen the best three) and we have really cut down on the amount and type of clothes we are taking. Sadly the amount of medication I am taking is quite large; so much so I've had to get a letter from my GP explaining them all!. 

Whilst we are away on our American jaunt, I will try to keep some sort of journal but am not sure if I will be able to post it here as part of an ongoing blog or not. Too many variables, not the least of which will be time!

Suffice to say, I am looking forward to getting away from the UK and all the issues that I am aware will still be waiting for me on my return; but from which I need some respite. 

I'm hoping that there'll be time for some poetry or other creative endeavours whilst in the USA, but for certain I'll be taking lots of photos and I hope that at least a few of them will be good enough to make it onto the website at some point.

Take care all, stay safe and I hope to be in touch soon....
