Back on track

Well, the best laid plans . . .often go astray. I wasn't blog-savvy enough when I started this and during my trip to London and Scotland I tried to add material but just couldn't work it. Anyway back at the office now with the trip behind me and our clever Get Up & Go art director pointed out the simple way to get started again.

The trip was sensational and many of the folk on the bus tour were Get Up & Goers, mature, funny, well-travelled and ready for anything.

When I sort through my photos I'll download a couple to this site.

London: Economic woes? yes, but as the sun shone for three days in a row, the atmosphere was wonderful in the city and everyone came out to play in the sun. Deck chairs have been put out into Green Park for the sun worshippers. 

Newcastle-on-Tyne was the surprise. I expected a post-industrial drabness to greet us, but the city shines with hope and energy. It's a young city because of the university and there is obvious evidence of layers of fascinating history. But more about that in a future edition of Get Up & Go - and more about Scotland in my next blog - now that I know how to do it . . .
