April 2012

In April, we visited the UK for the first time. We stayed in Selside, a miniscule village in the Yorkshire Dales National Park; went for a hike halfway up Ingleborough mountain, turning back after the third hail shower; visited the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth; took a long walk around Bolton Abbey; and danced at Scandimoot's two evening dances. [I've updated the map page with pins marking these places.] For Downton Abbey fans, Selside is due west of Ripon, where the show is fictionally set.

Fog

I'm fresh out of new photos, but here's an oldie I took back in March. This is what Neuchâtel looks like in

winter: heavy fog. If I were to take this photo today, there would still be leaves on some of the trees
(see Sunday's photo, which was taken from the road above/behind the car wash), but the fog is accurate.
Goodbye, Alps. Farewell, other side of the lake.
