A jet-lagged beginning

Well, the name of my blog is actually a lie, what a good way to begin! But I have to admit that I don't travel by ruby slipper, as much as I'd like to, but by plane, train and automobile (and bicycle and foot).

With that in mind I'll begin things with the unexpected week I spent in England last week. I arrived in Manchester nine hours before my ride to Whitby (on the North-East coast) did, and spent a day wandering the city centre. As I'd dressed for what I remembered English summers to be, and it was actually about 30 degrees and sunny, I had to stop and buy myself something a little more weather appropriate. Luckily the summer sales had just started!
