Paris

… was a gas. L was keen we shouldn’t scoff until we were safely on the train, but once on we both had a good loud snort. Tear stained City bankers pressed their ebony credit cards against the window as we sailed off waving back at them. Our scoffing continued when we tuned into France [...]

We'll Always Have Paris

Not blogged for ages due to busy, busy work.

Taking L to Paris for her thirty tenth birthday this weekend. Yoda will be detained down in The Smoke at The Olds pleasure. Hope he’s not too distressed with us being away for a couple of nights gallivanting in a hedonistic* sea of red wine and garlic [...]

Wedding #3: Everton

We’re just back from the last of our weddings. This time it was two Liverpool vicars getting married. Another great day. I’m amazed how everyone of these wedding have been different. This one was on a hill in an iron church. That sounds like the name of a book “The Iron Church”.

The place was packed [...]

Mucho Thanks

The Good Doctor appeared at the door last night. We were due to go off to book group together but first he thrust a package in my hand, neatly wrapped in CD shaped “Happy Birthday” paper.

“Sorry it’s late.”

Jolly nice of him. “Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns”

A couple of the tracks are a [...]
