long haul 2008

Portugal 2007

Summer holidays this year were supposed to be in Portugal at Liz and Steve’s house, which David, Richard and I had booked for the last two weeks of July. But Basrah got in the way for me, although I managed to arrange for my one week’s R and R to coincide with the start of it so that I could get a few days there at least. David and Richard were to be there for the majority of time, joined by other house guests as the two weeks went on. Nice house, very comfortable, nice area, guaranteed good weather.

What happened ? Well, I’ve written about that and you can find it in blog installment “If only we had one of these in Basrah..” in Basrah Blog

All others had a lovely time. Somewhere to return to, I think.

A long haul trip to the Far East was occasioned by David's trip for work to that bit of the world, so I tagged along. I've written about this a bit more extensively in Marham Blog (Marham Blog / Long Haul), so you can see all about it there. Pictures you can see here in the coverflow.
