On the Road to Newcastle

The Osmonds playing the SECC in Glasgow, Scotland
I had some time on the tour bus riding to Newcastle to get some much needed work done. I am juggling so many things out here, part of which is to try and get some design work done for my “day job” back at home. They have been so gracious to allow me the time to go on this tour, the least I can do is make sure there is time to get some of their needs met.
While traveling I selected a couple of photos and wrote a few thoughts for the update page over on the “official” live blogging at OsmondMania.com. I should have a gallery of photos selected soon as well and placed on Donny.com. Stay tuned for that.
The countryside between Glasgow and Newcastle was so beautiful. I’m afraid I didn’t get near as much done as I had hoped because I kept looking up from the computer to gaze out the window and watch. I kept lamenting to those near me how I wished we could stop at every beautiful farmhouse and town to photograph the amazing scenery. I love those old stone buildings and miles of stone walls. Finding a good portrait location would be a piece of cake out here!
As I loaded into the hotel before sending this off, I was pleased to see the hotel had free high speed access. I quickly fired up the VoIP soft phone and gave my kids a call before they headed off for the day. I love the Internet! Time to sign off for a bit because I am really in need of finding a place to do my laundry!

Wow Jeremy, I love that photo, how totally cool and how the heck did you get them all to stand so still!! They look kind of like statues and having been to many a Donny concert, I know for sure they were not motionless for one second, it’s immpossible to keep still at an Osmond gig.
So pleased you are loving our UK countryside, feel all proud now LOL
Completely chuffed you managed to “Phone home” as well Jeremy, your kids must have loved that, isn’t technology wonderful.
Loving these little snippets you give us from the tour, keep em coming Jeremy, again, see you on the 28th.

Am really enjoying ‘following’ you and Donny on this tour via your blog, hope you enjoy Newcastle (you’re only about 18 miles away from me there) infact to get from Glasgow to Newcastle you’ll have passed quite close to where I live.
WOW Jeremy, Loving all the pictures you have took so far, they are truly awe-inspiring….Enjoying the sneak previews as the tour gains momentum!
It’s good to hear you have been able to speak to your own family too…
Hoping to see you at Wembley…
I am really enjoying reading your blog and viewing your photos! I regret not planning a trip to see a concert or two!
