Nice to be back in civilization. Breakfast! Coffee! Not cold!  Sat and practised for most of the day. That felt really good. Continued with the Bach suites, which (I have to admit) I haven’t worked on much since the last…

Surprisingly easy border control this night Stayed on the bus when we went on the ferry. Fell asleep. Woke up at 16:20 with a headache, great.  Sat downstairs in the bus for a while. Went toilet hunting. Found a restaurant…

Bristol – the city with its own scale (google it).  Bread, cheese, meats, fruit, water, sodas. Are we still in the UK? This is already 100% better than yesterday. No coffee, but we have that on the bus. And the…
