My longterm plan for the coming weeks was to fly to the UK, attend the WAVE conference at Cambridge, meet up with Fiona in London to do some research together, see friends and family, then go to Leiden and Den Haag, meet more friends and this year’s KABK students, visit the Louwman car museum, and after take a road trip through Belgium and into France, spending Easter at Bruges, and making pilgrimages to the Menin Gate and the Canadian memorial at Vimy. I was really looking forward to it.

Thanks to the new UK passport requirements for dual citizens, which I wasn’t able to fulfil in time for the trip, I have had to cancel it all. Instead, I will be getting into my car and heading towards the Rockies. I will spend Easter at Calgary, celebrated Bruges of the West. 😛
