A drive and a wander, the order of the day, on a glorious sunny Sunday afternoon…. Having driven past a couple of weeks back, we took a walk around Arlington Reservoir, about an hour, (unless you’re in no hurry!) And on the way home, we took some previously uncharted roads by us, through the countryside. […]
For the car wash and golf courses, but not a drop from a hose, for the veggie garden…. How the hell is it not OK for me to water my veggie garden using the hose, which would be a fraction of the amount used by this car wash alone, not to mention the golf courses, […]
I didn’t want much for xmas, and then I got a tweet from Nerina Pallot…. …. and discovered she’s only gone and done my favourite xmas tune, ain’t she. Get your lugholes round this….. I Believe In Father Christmas So, that’ll do for me, thanks. I’ll be playing this long after the batteries run […]
She’s sat, unused, under a tarp for 6 years….. Both my uncle and brother have had a go at waking her from her slumber, but to no avail…. I’ve spent 2 weekends attempting the same, to no response, and as I was about to throw in the towel, and consign her to history and an […]
Time to start putting tunes up on the interwebs, and I’ve discovered Soundcloud…. So, first up, the demo which was recorded for the recent’ish James Bond audiobook, “Devil May Care”, by Sebastian Faulks. Pour yourself a martini, shaken, not stirred, click the big orange button on the left and then, turn the speakers up loud. […]
At last, a sunny afternoon…. On our weekend wander over the South Downs, we came upon a sky full of paragliders as we reached Beachy Head. One of the ladies undertaking an afternoon of this, happy to chat about it, told me after getting her licence (You need a licence to paraglide? Who knew…..) about […]
Now, I don’t want to seem like I’m grumpy and that, being back a couple of weeks I’m bashing the UK already, but…. I’ve got 2 issues, both related, which are really starting to tick me off a little. I don’t want to think that having experienced North American customer service, that this is clouding […]
Should you already know this, do bear with me, I’ve only recently returned to the UK for a visit….. Libraries, as regular readers may be aware, are a favourite haunt for me, so on arriving, it was one of the first places I thought I’d investigate and see how it compares to the Canadian counterpart. […]
Honest…. “Caught” in the Enterprise Shopping Centre in Eastbourne, which has a number of nice little, independent shops, from crafts and health, to a fishmongers and a butchers. If you’re in the town, take the trouble to wander along and discover it yourself. You’ll find it up behind the railway station.
Spent a grey day in Twickenham, on out current vagabonding experience in the UK…. A bit of a grey day, but thought I’d try the effects on the camera. Swans and pigeons and, of course, Canadian geese! Just to the right of the shots, is a pub, where many a summer evening was whiled away, […]
