2024 Country of Living: England in Nantwich, Cheshire. In January we attended the funeral of friend Godfrey King in London. Mel has had health problems throughout the year meaning several long visits to Leighton Hospital in nearby Crewe.

We are once again travelling a fair amount. For work, I was in Boston in June then Poland in October with a number of other smaller meet-ups in Liverpool and Birmingham. I once again visited the “Stamp and Coin Fair” in York, North Yorkshire in January then again in July.

• March - Visited Isle of Anglesey for a bit of a break. Then, we visited the amazing Japan, see my journal here.
• May - Visited London to visit the dentist (and a bit of fun including seeing the staged version of Spirited Away.
• June - Visited Krakow with Mel for a bit of tourism with a brief visit to Warsaw. In the middle of the month I visited my company's headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts where I found the city to be very nice indeed, particularly the seafood…
• August - As part of a trip to Glasgow for the 2024 World Science Fiction Convention we also paid a visit to Isle of Arran.
• September - Mother came to visit for a few weeks so we paid a brief visit to London to see a show.
• October - Work trip to Warsaw.

Mel's aunt Judy came to visit in May while my mother came to visit in September for three weeks.

Most events confined to the north but we have still managed a few in London and the south as well.

There is a small Odeon in nearby Crewe so we still manage to see a few films…

Working our way through the dining options here in Nantwich and the area…

We have some time booked off in February but not sure what to do with it yet. We will be in London later in the spring then in Glasgow in the fall but otherwise nothing else planned.
