Heathrow to Zurich, via an accident traffic jam on the M1.

Yes, more retrospective shots til I get to an Apple shop. Oh my, we're not off the runway and already they're making announcements in non-English. Help...let me off...I forgot to take Swiss-German lessons.

This is the lovely Eugenia who is a lawyer in Moscow and is so much more besides. She's entertaining us with a bread roll puppet.

The amazing Israeli duo, and John, a creative English businessman who was doing the Fiction writing stream.

The Porter in his office at the front of St Catharine's: Very Important People, Porters.

An American Serviceman from Alabama, waiting with us for the Cambridge-Luton Airport bus. As Louise noted, he got a faraway look when he talked about Alabama. He works on the number-crunching side of the Army Medical Corps, and had been based in Cambridgeshire.

The lovely and very talented Jessica Datema, from Brooklyn. It was a privilege to hear her life stories and get to know her a little. Amongst her various accomplishments she teaches writing.

Well, you'd expect a nicely composed notice in an academic building at Cambridge, wouldn't you.

Doors, so many beautiful doorways.


This was a special one.
