After a too-brief stay in Glasgow for WorldCon, and an even briefer three days in London as a full-fledged tourist, I'm back home again. Thanks to the fact that we were flying American Airlines out of Gatwick, and not British Airways out of Heathrow, we weren't delayed by the caterers' strike, and made it home right on schedule.

It'll be a few days before I'm coherent enough to summarize my trip, but it was well worth the expense, if only to spend a few days drinking with all of my friends, old and new, in the Moat House Bar.

Until such time as I'm able to string a few words together, hopefully the following pictures will fill the gap.

• The Pyr Panel, hosted by the inestimable Lou Anders
• The "Dead Dog" at the Moat House Bar, starring the Greatest Waitress in the World, Lauren!
• Bark Place, Bayswater, London, the street where Roxanne Bonaventure lives
• Forbidden Planet in London, with Here, There & Everywhere prominently displayed
• Allison, John Picacio and I doing the Full Tourist Thing in Trafalgar Square
• Fuzzy shots of late night drinking with Claire Weaver, Mark Roberts, Tom, John, Prof, and the rest of the gang at the Ben Crouch Tavern
• The view of, and from, the London Eye
• Allison and I wandering Kensington Garden
• The crowds surrounding Buckingham Palace (perhaps they thought Michael Jackson was there?)
• Two views of Kim Newman's flat (the last shots before the battery ran out)
