Wow! I actually remembered to do the Friday Photo on a friday! Interesting aside: Today, July 11 is the day before my birthday, however I was actually born on July 11th in the UK because I was born at 8:32am on July 12th in Australia (which is 11:32pm July 11th in the UK!) Anyway, enough […]

So Saturday saw the return of a favourite on the Summer Salsa calendar, the Carnival de Cuba. Summer in London means festival time with a number of festivals ranging from music, to dance, to theatre. And for salsa it means the Carnival de Cuba and in August, the Colombian Fesitval (Carnival del Pueblo). So a […]

Ok… so it’s a little late again! Never mind… MI6 (left), home of British Secret Service (and Bond… James Bond) and St George Wharf apartments (right) I walk across this bridge and past these every day, and only just realised that building is MI6! Explains the overbearing look and police that are always outside it.

So I figured a nice recurring feature would be to have a photo of my life and travels in London and Europe. So here it is, the first Friday Photo! This is a bit of an old one, but how can I start a photo feature of life in London without going the obvious? I […]

Last night I joined my workmates for the monthly pub quiz at Imbibe in Southwark, South London. A good turnout, our teams together were at least 20 people and a private party (forced indoors due to the rain) meant it was rather squishy. Nonetheless, we quizzed our best and came an excellent 6th or 7th […]

Had a typical English day today. Pouring with rain when I was trying to get to work, so got absolutely saturated. Though if I’m honest, this isn’t as common as I would have imagined. Must be only the 3rd time this year I’ve actually got really wet on my way to work. Usually, it just […]

Yesterday marked the end of an era. The last day you can legally drink on the tube. (and in fact all public transport) (for those not in the know, the tube is London’s underground rail network) I can remember my awe when I first realised you could drink on the tube. Back home we can’t […]
