I got caught up with work today and didn’t get as far as dinner before 8.30pm. I couldn’t face cooking at that time so headed around the corner to a local takeaway. I was amused to notice what they were watching on the TV while they prepared my grotty burger; none other than Nigella Lawson, [...]

I’m writing this at 6.30am in Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on the way back from my most recent excursion with “Rat Pack – Live At The Sands” US tour. Life has been really crazy lately with more travelling than I would have thought I’d ever do. Running backwards and forwards between UK and US Tour dates [...]
I’ve come to this a little late because I’ve been out of the country, but it seems that in December the Government announced plans for a forthcoming Road Pricing scheme in the UK.

If you’d care to head over to the Photos page you’ll notice that I’ve uploaded loads of new Photos to FlickR. I’ve taken an enormous amount of pictures over the summer, particularly in Klagenfurt in August, and I was tremendously behind in sharing them.
Enjoy…

Happy Birthday to me!!! Thirty-two years old today and celebrating with a longish wait for a flight at Amsterdam Airport!
I’m on a 3 and a half hour layover on the way back from Des Moines. Should get back home at around 5pm after which I’m having dinner with my parents and then trying to recover [...]

We’ve been here in Des Moines, Iowa since earlier in the week. I’d like to report about all the fun and excitement that we’ve been having but, frankly, it’s duller than dish water here. Roll on the journey home….
