With Sarah visiting, we spent Saturday at Leeds castle, garden, maze and grotto. Then Sunday was the Cranleigh Show. Hoof and mouth precautions made it an odd one, without any artiodactyls.

A sweltering Sunday with the Prices in London centred around a cruise down to Greenwich via the Thames Barrier.

Mel's fiance Will took me out on his Dart-18 trapeze rigged catamaran from Stokes Bay on Saturday. We got some great wind and I had a high time flying. Now I've found a type of sailing I can probably even afford!

We're back from our holiday in Provence (of which more later), and one thing that had to be seen to immediately was the harvest of radishes.

What goes: taxi, train, boat, boat, boat, boat, train, train, train, taxi? An outstanding day's sailing on the Solent, courtesy of Paul Stephens. Saturday we took the early train to Portsmouth Harbour, the Gosport Ferry across to the Gosport marina, Paul's yacht 'Marta' to Cowes on the Isle of Wight, a harbour taxi to the shore, the Red Funnel jet ferry to Southampton, and then three trains back to Guildford. The outing was a social gathering for SSTL staff and our colleagues from Centre National des Techniques Spatiales in Algeria. Very enjoyable! See here.

I took the day off Friday so that Karen could go up to a workshop in Leeds. Ethan and I spent the day on the beach at West Wittering. Here are some slides. They're in their natural order, so you can see we stayed through high tide and back to low tide (almost), and through several changes of weather and clothes.
