Monday is safe driving day
8:20am Sunday 12th October 2008
Monday 13th October is European Road Safety Day and focus will be to address the subject of 'Road Safety in our Cities.' It is a fact that about two thirds of the accidents and one third of all road fatalities occur in urban areas, often affecting the most vulnerable road users. Last year 222 people were killed on London's roads, 3,562 were seriously injured and 24,577 were slightly injured. 2,946 were killed on UK's roads last year. The European Union has set itself the target to halve the number of fatalities on our roads – from 54,000 to 27,000 – between 2001 and 2010. In order to raise awareness, to give visibility to best local practices and to offer an opportunity to work together for safer roads in Europe the Commission has established a European Road Safety Day.

Walk: Make the most of autumn’s glories
4:30pm Friday 10th October 2008
This delightful walk from Broughton-in-Furness first takes you along pleasing paths and tracks that use, or keep close to, part of the old railway track along which trains travelled to Foxfield from Coniston. Then footpaths carry on through ancient woodlands before some quiet road walking to Woodland church. The route returns through the peaceful valley, a joy to walk at any time of the year. But, just at the moment, with the vegetation and the leaves of the trees still lush after all the rain, they are superb as they begin to reveal their autumn colours. Park in the square at Broughton-in-Furness, grid ref 214876.

Home to Phnom Penh
Returned home to my flat in Phnom Penh yesterday. Seems like I have been away for ages, had a great trip to Thailand meeting up with a friend from Kendal who I been busy traveling in Australia and New Zealand. It was great to see her and also helped me appreciate many of the things I am experiencing. But it is difficult to explain Cambodia to other people who haven’t been here.
