Back down to earth

My flight home was really good and the plane was one of Virgin Atlantic's new ones with a touch screen monitor which enables you more flexibility from their range of entertainment.

Once at Manchester I had time for a welcome cuppa while waiting for my daughter to collect me to take me south for a few days with the family while I get over jet lag.

I am almost up to date now after the few days at Yosemite when i didn't have wi- fi access and have added the backblips for the end of my holiday if you missed them. They start here.
