I'm back ...

Had a fab time in the Lake District - what a beautiful part of the world ... a picture or two to follow.

Whilst we were away, the Live8 concerts took place, of course. We watched a fair bit of it - what an awesome event. And Pink Floyd ... wow!

Bit of a shame that some protesters in Scotland marred the so far peaceful events. I think that sort of protest is not appropriate. The G8 leaders are now well aware that their people are looking for action on poverty and climate issues. They need to know that we are watching, they do not need to be distracted by violence.
