The whole world at my feet...

This blog is for my family and friends, to let them know my plans and predicaments, my adventures and experiences. To let them know when I'm on the move or staying put, and maybe even when I'm coming home - don't count on it anytime soon though! Enjoy...you are always on my mind, or at least at the back of my mind :-)

I seem to be spending a lot of time with clients who live around Hammersmith so the area is becoming familiar and fancied to me. There are a lot of the shops that reside on Oxford Street without all the crazy hustle and bustle, and the main station services three tube lines and over 50 different buses.

Wales baa-baa

April 14th, 2009

Wales is to England what New Zealand is to Australia. It is a community that mostly thrives and survives on farming and tourism. The Welsh are a very lovely people, if not a little quiet at times.

Surfing Newquay

March 28th, 2009

Although I’m on my bi-annual jaunt to Cornwall for a week of fun, frolicking and swimming in the surf, I thought I’d catch some real waves in THE best surf town of the UK. That would be Newquay.

No more wisdom…teeth.

March 11th, 2009

So you may be thinking, what’s been happening since the big trip to Poland? Apart from working my butt off to pay for upcoming trips that I already have deposits on, I did have to have a week off work to get my wisdom teeth out.
