Latest Update: I've begun to put up some pictures from our Asia trip this summer and finally put my notes to complete the running blog.
Blogs: Check out the links on the left for my completed blogs from Asia, New Zealand, and Australia, plus one I kept mainly to encourage myself detailing my training for the 2010 London Marathon. I still try to update "Homecoming" occasionally with thoughts about returning to live in Scotland.
Interesting link: While staying in Glasgow we started running the "Glasgow Parkrun" on a Saturday. This excellent concept is to have a free to enter,
weekly 5km race on an attractive course where you can just turn up and run. It is mostly organized online with the help of volunteers on the day, and Glasgow was the
11th to be started at the end of 2008. There are now 40 plus runs with at least one outside the UK and I'm sure the idea will spread.
Where are we now? After spending 3 months in Bishopbriggs we moved north to Inverness, a rapidly expanding city situated between Loch Ness and the Moray Firth in northeast Scotland. I'm enjoying working as a dentist again and we've now settled into a rental house (pictures here) and got ourselves a dog (picture here). Here's the view from outside my workplace in early summer, not bad on a sunny day!
I've spent much of the last 20 years travelling, when the need to earn money didn't intervene, and taken a lot of pictures. If you have a slow internet connection you'll need to be patient. I have posted pictures from countries I have lived in (Malawi, the UK, USA, Grenada, New Zealand, Australia), my more recent travels (Ecuador, Costa Rica, Grenada, Asia) and there are links to complete sites I put together in the past dedicated to a medical mission in Uganda and Kenya and two marathon bike rides.
Finally, I am interested in genealogy so if you are researching any of the names Cooke, Arnold, Lee, Bannister and Whitaker (mainly from England) have a look at the family trees.
