Home from home

Family OTW are now safely ensconced with La serenissima and her large and recently expanded family. Utah seems an other worldly place to me and I always feel distant from troubles in the wider world, which for a short time is no bad thing. Tomorrow the lads and I plan a serious shooting session in one of the nearby canyons, a day to be ended with a meal of Buffalo steaks. As a dedicated carnivore the thought of a meal comprising of large juicy Buffalo steaks is worth the long desert drive alone....more meat!

future happiness

Today was another early spring day and a finer place to be than England I can not imagine, although today there is perhaps one place. A member of my family is getting wed today out in Utah and we all here at OTW fervently wish we could be present, but in our absence we do send the young couple all our love and best wishes for a happy future together.....see you soon.

Salty sands.

Family OTW have arrived safely in Utah for our latest trip to visit my big sister (la serrenissima) and her wonderful family. The trip through the sierras and Nevada was as usual enjoyable and boring in equal measures but as always from a driving point of view great fun. We stopped in Elko for lunch, just another of the strange little towns that seem scattered at random in the Nevada wilderness. I have not been in Utah at this time of year before and the colourful trees against the blue sky and glowering mountains combine to make a landscape that is quite striking...more to follow.
