One consolation of having no Thurs show. View and evening lark song on Little Mell Fell nr Ullswater

Home. Watching sunset in very English wood. Oh to be in England now that Aprils there and all that. Ta for helping me home

Hmm. Business as usual and Brits taking to the skies again. Not at Brum airport and many other places besides

Eng-er-lands green and pleasant land!!! Feels rather strange actually...

Paris traffic "I had that Jean Paul Sartre in the back of mon cab once"

Me at Place De La Concorde in travel creased suit feeling very Graham Greene

Early calll courtesy Dustmen on rue de Rivoli means time for stroll in Tuillerie gdns. Blackpool tower in backgrnd

Uk airspace open! Hmm not one plane in skies above Paris yet. And I should know. This is view from my homemade hover jet pack

Just made last orders in Paris bar Never been so happy to get wine and frites in my life. And they've got the football on

Swiss/French border. Some mountains. This evocative informative prose isn't Baedecker standard I know but knackered

Forgive insular Brit ignorance but this station is called Mulhouse. That sounds like somewhere rough in sth Yorkshire to me

Swiss train loo. Like Hoxton bar

Assorted travellers swapping war stories waiting next leg of trip. 'i managed to get a gnu caravan from Lima' etc

Trams. Castles. General Swissness

Zurich station. Just had sausage roll from snack bar on left. At risk of enraging regionalists better than Greggs, Pooles etc

My tribute to great Wire song The Other Window. Thru this one, Lake Lucerne

Damp green hilly scenery around AG making me suddenly homesick for Lakes

Erstfeld station. The Didcot Parkway of the Alps.

Woke from short drooly flat faced doze to this unidentified Alp

From train just intro Switzerland. Nearly as good a view as Howgill fells from West Coast mainline
