Away to train - but still around by video for Melksham meetings

Since I'm in a town I've not visited before, I'm wanting to have a look around and take some pictures. But my goodness - haven't things changed, and for the better; the modern digital camera is so able to capture the night scene.And - back in my B&B - I'm automatically on line. Easy, peasy! Again changes for the better - I have a Shadow Campus Operations Board meeting tomorrow night, and a Melksham Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday. Both of which I'll be attending via a Skype video link; the Wessex association AGM and the Melksham Trader's meeting later this week will just have to be missed as they've not yet got the technology, but this can save an awful lot of dashing back and forth across the country, and a lot of meetings no longer missed. Have to love the technology.
Some things are old fashioned here, though. Along with the 20Mbit broadband (I ran a discrete test to see!), I've got village life. Pitch black outside, had to find anything in the dark, but two very helpful lady dogwalkers who pointed me in the right direction and even stood in the driveway to the place I'm at to show me where it is.
