On travel

from a haiku by Matsuo Basho:

'The moon and sun are eternal travellers. Even the years wander on. A lifetime adrift in a boat, or in old age leading a tired horse into the years, every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.'

New York City in Spring

Spent the weekend in New York on a glorious Spring weekend. The first they've had and everyone was out to enjoy it. Walked through Central Park in the sunshine and burnt the top of my head. Oh well. Now I'm in Connecticut for Unilever meetings for a few days.

Homemade bento box dinner. And I'm quite proud. The black things are onigiri - rice and paste wrapped in seaweed. Now off to New York (where, no doubt, there are much better bento box dinners.)

Henley-on-Thames

Thursday we had a workshop day in the Hotel du Vin, Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. What a lovely town for a sunny Spring day.
