Two months of almost no planning activity! Apart from Christmas, my lack of action is mainly accounted for by quite a lot of work on some of the Grand Tour images (260 of them), plus a long Mac Keynote presentation (with nearly 800 images!), for a talk I'm giving later this year. It's the first time I've used Keynote seriously – a brilliant program, very powerful and surely a Powerpoint killer.
In fact in early December I did some research into the London hotel: the three Travelodges near Kings Cross are universally condemned on TripAdvisor, so although their £45 offers were interesting I decided against. Eventually Venere came up with a hotel in Cartwright Gardens, at £55, about 5 minutes walk from the British Library which is itself 5 minutes or so from St Pancras. Pretty well reviewed both on Venere and TripAdvisor, with no-one saying anything very bad. Still available at this price today (I’d been worried it might have gone since I first saw it) so I booked; the fourth Venere booking for this trip (I hope they're reliable!). The price includes breakfast, which I shall have to miss as my Eurostar will be an early one.
