    Glyndebourne

    August 2, 2000 | by David | Leave a Comment on Glyndebourne

    On Sunday we went to Glyndebourne. Now there is a unique experience. For those of you who don’t know, Glyndebourne is a very strange and special institution in England. It is an opera festival. It started back in 1934 when an unfeasably rich man by the name of John Christie decided his wife Audrey (an …

    Wales

    Well, where to start? It’s been a very long time since I could sit down and update the site. We have done a lot in the six months since then. First we went to Wales in March. I won’t go into detail here but it involved hiring a car and driving around pretty much all …

    Raining Indoors

    November 20, 1999 | by David | Leave a Comment on Raining Indoors

    Last Friday the roof exploded. It was my day off (the last I would get for another six days) and I had planned to sleep in before going to look at flats in a relaxing kind of way. This was not to be. I was woken by Kathryn at 7:30am when she informed me of …

    The North

    November 7, 1999 | by David | Leave a Comment on The North

    Last Friday Kathryn and I caught the train to Edinburgh. It left Kings Cross station at 8 am so we had to get up very very early. As it turned out we got up a little too early so we had time to enjoy a cup of coffee at the station. Mmmmmm. Can’t you just …

    Ely & Cambridge

    October 25, 1999 | by David | Leave a Comment on Ely & Cambridge

    I have just finished watching “Walking With Dinosaurs“. An excellent show from the BBC. I don’t know if it is on in Australia yet, but I’m sure you will get it soon. While watching, I enjoyed a Violet Crumble (thanks Robin:). Shakespeare in HMV London, being the centre of the world, tends to attract celebrities. …

    I’m sorry I haven’t updated the site for a while; I have been very busy with work lately. I have now been working at HMV for three weeks. It took me the first two weeks for my feet to get used to it but I am no longer in constant pain. The Club On the …

    I was going to save this for last but you may as well know right away. Kathryn and I have both found employment – with Foster and Partners and HMV, respectively. This is a good thing as the credit card was maxxed out we were down to our last $50 – which will almost buy …

    London We caught the train to London and were greeted on our arrival by Malcolm’s secretary Gill. After somehow managing to stuff the suitcases into the back of a little Renault Clio we made our way from Waterloo Station to New Cross. And we have been here ever since. In the last couple of weeks …

    First impressions

    September 10, 1999 | by David | Leave a Comment on First impressions

    Fast-forward Ok. I am about a month behind schedule here, so there is a bit of catching up to do. We arrived at Heathrow ahead of schedule at about 5:45am. After the stress of the custom officials questions, waiting for our baggage to arrive and fresh in the knowledge that $100 buys about £30 we …
