I have been absent without leave, tending babies; a pleasure and a privilege- even at three in the morning!

But here are a few photos that didn’t make it into my main conference report.
First off, hanging on in time honoured fashion to the historic cable cars…

Did I ever show you my menu for my cocktail party on the Thursday night?

You wish you came now, don’t you?

Okay, okay, so I didn’t stay at Alcatraz-

TBH, not really my sort of accommodation!

Why exactly are you taking a photo of a gull’s bum? asks Sara.
Hmmm… It seemed a good idea at the time?

Here’s a far nicer shot of me and my good friend and author, Kate Walker, on the ferry to Alcatraz Yes, it was coooold that day- which was our only cold day, thank goodness, and created perhaps the perfect atmospheric conditions for visiting the old prison ‘on a rock’…

A fabulous view of the San Francisco skyline from Alcatraz.

Mmm, San Francisco. I could move there in a minute. I can’t wait to go back.

Have a great week, everyone!

Love to all,

Susan
