I am back ...

.....but my luggage is not!

It was a calculated risk. My onward flight from Amsterdam to London City airport had been cancelled, but they could get me on an earlier flight - leaving now. "Fine by me, I can make it. But will my case be able to get around Schipol airport to my new plane as fast as I can?" "Sure" said the confident KLM person. Hmmmm.....

Once in London, all I wanted to do was to get home to Dorset and my bed. Its a long day when there are thirty three hours in it, and many of those had been spent in planes. So I didn't wait the two hours for my case, but said "send it on".

Its now two days later and I am going back to work in an hour or two, but I still feel in limbo as all my clothes, toiletries and camera accessories, etc are still travelling. But I have managed to get a couple of photos out of the new camera. The photo above is of a seki-mori- ishi. A stone, bound with black twine, that signifies No Entry in a Japanese garden, placed on path. That's a bit how I feel right now somehow! Stuck and unable to move on.

But it was a wonderful, wonderful time.
