Friday 15th April Today we went on a cruise! I managed to persuade the missus to get on another boat and we went on an organised cruise down to Peppermint Bay. Check out the boat we went on: There were several price tiers. Some with lunch, some without and some where you got to...

I wish I’d seen that coming but instead we got absolutely soaked walking home in it. Cheap season eh?! While the weather was good we went to see the Hyde...
Read more →Friday 8th April We needed a day off. Sydney is deceptively sized. It’s too small to bother with public transport but its grid system means you don’t get the diagonal cut throughs you get in London so you end up walking a billion kilometres each day. Add that to the jetlag and you get...

It’s absolutely brilliant but it’s full of bats and spiders and weird birds and plants. It’s all a bit much to take in! We walked in and...

We went on the hunt for food and found a lovely café called Zinc Café. We got a really nice fried breakfast. How English?! After that we scouted...

A Hungarian Vizsla to be precise. She is beautiful but also very gangly. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce Fleur… (all shots...
Read more →For Christmas, I was given a year’s membership to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens. It’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go see but never got round to. Well, now I have no excuse. I’m going to go at least once a month to see all the different plants that appear through the seasons. So, here...
Read more →No, not Mr Park but actual parks. Well, greens and commons if you will. On Boxing Day we took a lovely walk through Cambridge to catch the last of the snow. I tried colour but it wasn’t doing too well so I went all black and white on its ass!
Read more →Here is a selection of some accumulated random photos I found on my laptop that I hadn’t yet posted. I had a good Christmas, did you? After we had opened our pressies, we prepared for brunch. I had decided weeks beforehand that come rain or shine, I would BBQ me some steaks on Christmas...
Read more →I’m very behind on my postings. New Year’s Resolution, post more. Or at least try and stay on top of anything I’ve done. I have three days posts coming up, so stay tuned. Before Christmas, while the rest of the country ground to a halt due to the snow, we had a pitiful amount....
