Fen sunset

The long journey from Phnom Penh to Cambridgeshire was useful for contemplation.

The food in the lounge at Doha airport was tasty for the biggest, chewiest dates and the sexiest Middle Eastern salads.

The weather on arrival was a pleasant surprise.

The 45kg of luggage and steadfast refusal not to change from flip flops were not suitable for the tube and lugging bags around Central London.

The 3G was better in Phnom Penh than the Home Counties.

The sunset view from my flat was calming and pretty at journey's end.

The quietness at night and silence as I drifted off were bizarre.
