Safely to Glasgow

I started my journey this morning taking the 5:52am train from Norwich, switching in Peterborough and arriving in Glasgow at 1pm. We travelled through Ely, York, Newcastle and Edinburgh. The trip began with the typical English rolling country side with sheep and cattle and farms. The farther north, especially north of Newcastle, near the east coast, it became more like Newfoundland, with hills and spruce and pine plus mist and fog and breakers on the North Sea. I do think I was a bit homesick. One thing that I was surprised at was the number of nuclear generating plants we passed on the way. I didn't realize the UK depended on nuclear energy so much. It is warm and partly sunny here in Glasgow. I did a walk about to see the sites. I am off again in the morning via train, ferry, bus and ferry to Iona for two weeks. I am looking forward to it, especially the second week which will focus on Sexuality, Spirituality and the Twenty First Century. But it will be hard work, sleeping in dorms and sharing the chores around the place. Hopefully I will survive!!!
