I've been dashing about rather more than usual these last few weeks. First up was a work trip to Glasgow, where I met up with two internet pals (one for the first time) and ate far too much cake. Being in the hustle and bustle of a city was a nice change, although I didn't once regret moving to the middle of nowhere when someone was busking in the street outside the hotel at midnight. I got back from Glasgow at midnight, and at nine the next morning I was on a train to Hebden Bridge, a cheery little village in West Yorkshire, for a gathering of people doing the permaculture diploma. I then had a few days at home before jetting off to Copenhagen for another work event. I promise my working life doesn't usually involve this much travel... I went to Copenhagen with a cheery colleague, and so we were able to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel. Gosh it was lovely, and if I ever go on another trip like that I'd make every effort to do the same again. We did get a little bit of time to wander around the city too, which was nice. Sadly I was full of cold, and felt rotten the whole time we were there. And have you ever flown with a cold? I hadn't (I think this is only my fifth or sixth time flying ever), and so I had no idea of the unpleasantness of my sinuses being messed with by the air pressure on the plane. Three weeks later and my face is starting to feel normal again. Not an experience I'd like to repeat.
Still, I'm home now, and don't have any plans to go anywhere else major for a while (although there will be one or two local jaunts of course). Mostly I'm just wandering the local footpaths, hanging out with the chickens, and doing a spot of light decorating. Who needs to go far with a view like this out of the back garden?

Copenhagen looks lovely. Was disappointed in my o my trip to Glasgow that the Charles Rennie McIntosh tea room was closed for renovation
