Skype - live and in 3D!

After picking up our car from Greenmotion (the most eco-friendly car hire firm in the country - what good is that to Chevron?) we zipped down the M3 and into Dorset where Hannah's parents were waiting.  It was a little strange not seeing them through a webcam and computer screen, but as soon as we discovered that walking into another room was the equivalent of hanging up a Skype call we were all a lot more comfortable.

As ever, the hospitality was excellent, with Basque chicken followed by an exotic fruit salad.  And gin and tonic. And Champagne.  And wine.  And sloe gin.  I almost didn't need another of my Melatonin happy pills to help me sleep.



Woo!  First double-decker bus!


And, more importantly, first gin and tonic.


Hannah's Dad rushes us on to the good stuff.


Two people in this photo may have been drinking.  Can you spot them?
