Homeward Bound

Which way next?

Our first proper beer in a long while, taken whilst waiting for a mega bus at London Victoria.


Junction of the Heathrow Spur Road from the M4. This point marked the completion of our circumnavigation of the planet. In 440 days. We arrived at this point in September 2006 from the West, and arrived back at it from the East.

Where it all began. Back at Bristol Temple Meads. My only friend, The End.

... and a hearty welcome home. I've no idea what reaching the resting shores of such a fabulous journey would leave anyone feeling - but I thought I'd throw in this Tennyson quotation:

"I am a part of all that I have met; / Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' / Gleams that untravell'd world, whose margin fades / For ever and for ever when I move."

Good stuff from the cliched rhymester - but what you two have done is much more marvellous.

Well done indeed,
Mark.


PS. Of all the splendid digger pics (thank you, thank you - a much appreciated theme here!), I think Hallam and I found the Kyrgyzstan digger the most authentic somehow. Here's a frightening thought about the flight of time: even Victor is beginning to recognize the wonder of diggers now - and he wasn't even conceived when you left, let alone born!!!
