Restid

Finding a new destination when trouble lies ahead.  Reducing the impact on ourselves of a bubble bursting.  As Dana Milbank writes "Stop trying to be happy — and start figuring out how to make other people happy."

Shadows in the dark, imagining the worst and the safety provided by the travelling community. I've never been locked in a station before.

John Steinbeck, California, bright shiny technology, bubbles and the giant with a scarred face and an evil white eye.

Finding good fortune and tackling loneliness on our travels

The inspiration and tenacity of those who ride the storms and the Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894

Village life with a horse, a mouse and rabbits. Train politeness, buses in Samoa and the art of John Noakes in Dunedin. Together with the long-lasting relevance of a Victorian Act of Parliament.

The Delta Lady and random direction choices. Remarkable navigation, the human fishing fleet, and sailing down the Thames

A story of survival and recovery.  From Singapore to New Zealand via Japan.  A new family and communities of mobility. Not forgetting Granny’s bottle of rum.

A 1625 atlas, the Swedish Mile and the Kiwi Kilometre confuse, and William Whyte laments that the human backside is a dimension architects seem to have forgotten.  ‘On Looking: A Walkers Guide to the Art of Observation' by Alexandra Horowitz.  The Trooping Of the Colour and birthday suits.

Meeting the wise, appreciating a vegetable, and making unexpected discoveries.  Buddha’s tooth is revealed and a Tardis on wheels saves the day.  All wrapped up with the delights of the Lost Gypsy Gallery and Peake’s Kitchen.
