I'm going hill walking next weekend. Guess I'd better wear a hat.


Yea, and watch out for those mountain-bike cyclists--I've heard they are 
really anti-pedestrian. I saw some video on YouTube a while back.  Shocking. 
Cheers, Christine

I wish I could, but I did the next best thing.  I called in a favor with my 
great aunt who owns a pub in Monkston, so I got you guys covered for free 
beer all night.  Just head east, then go a bit north and you'll find her pub 
there-abouts.  See, easy to find.  My great aunt, Betty, was over in Melton 
Keynes one year for that big bowling thing, met a British guy, and they 
married.  He died a few years back.  A boulder killed him while he was hill 
climbing.  Great aunt Betty took over the pub.  Cheers, Christine

Yes I spotted that too. There's nothing specific on the web site, but there
might be some celebrations going on.

Good idea, thanks for the heads-up.

My wife and I visited Bletchley Park back in 2001 when we were last in the UK
at the same time - she's been back once since then, and I've been back three
times, but not together. This was shortly after the making of the film "Enigma".

I've actually touched a real Enigma - there's one at the Computer History 
Museum.

Chris/Bob/Cotty - I've asked my wife to see if one of her co-workers has any
contacts at Bletchley - I know some of the areas there are usually off-limits
to digital cameras (apparently they don't play well with the security system).
Film cameras don't have the same problems - I'd suggest taking one along.

And I've only just realised how appropriate the date is.

Sounds like a blast, but I blew my travel budget about a fortnight ago.

The closest I've come was when I was working at Counterpane and I got to 
see Bruce Schneier's enigmas.

Would love to see that one day, Chris & Cotty.
Can't make it this time. :(
