The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

My photo course is over and the farewells said. We had a celebration dinner this evening in a restaurant by the river with a wonderful view of Prague Castle. A slide show of the participant's best efforts has been prepared by the organisers and I hope to post it here in the next few days, once I have been able to download it and host it here.

Tomorrow (Sunday) I shall drive to Berlin via Usti Nad Labem in the Czech Republic and (if I have time) Dresden. My first stop is for tea and buns with Tim Worstall, the author of one of my favourite blogs. The second would be just to see a city I have never visited before.

The most delicate operation of the day is to reverse Speranza out of a very narrow entrance to the hotel car park. She has been accorded pride of place at the upper level to avoid the need to descend a ramp that might have been too steep for her road clearance. This secure billet has no room for a three-point turn however! Should be fun. The fans she has made among the hotel staff will no doubt help me.
