Well, this holiday has been as much a holiday from routine as it was a real 'going away' type of holiday. Although I did have a few days in London and a couple of trips out and about, much of this vacation has been spent relaxing and working my way through the box sets of 'Sopranos' from Blockbuster!

Left: One of the few visits the weather permitted, but you can see it was still a very unseasonal day. This is a Russian T34/85 tank, a part of the vehicle collection at Yorkshire's Eden Camp museum.

The weather has played it's part, the great British 'summer' being AWOL most of the time. This has really put us off making the usual trips out to outdoor museums and the like as the heavy grey clouds have loitered over the north of England.

So - it's business as normal once again, I have a load of posts to catch up on.
