Linda, mi ex y su marido encantador

2008-08-13T23:29:00.005+12:00

Fui a casa de Tony y Rick en Greenwich. Linda, mi primera suegra y ademas mujer divina estaba ahí también y comemos en el jardín donde han sembrado un césped de manzanilla de verdad! qué inglés! jaja.

En casa hacia un calor como un verano de España así que fuimos a dar un paseo al perro por el parque.

Nottingham Saint someone, probably a Mary

Popped up t'see Tyson and Martyn for an evening, ending up in a church after a lovely breakfast mmm, can't remember the name, maybe I'll wiki it, ever reliable aren't I! haha

Un domingo en Whitstable

2008-08-01T23:35:00.006+12:00

fui a visitar a Michael y Marcelo en Chatham y decidimos dar un paseo a Liza por Whitstable... qué calor hacia! y había mucha gente haciendo cola para comer las ostras que venden fresco del mar por ahi

The Mud Princesses

2008-07-30T23:15:00.011+12:00

Had a lovely day down at Mersea Island with my sister and two nieces. Had a picnic, walked out to the sea, the tide just on the turn. Dug for some worms and generally got dirty! yeah!

Also bumped into Sarah with her friend and their kids, which was very nice. Her George ended up lookin' like a mini extra from rambo, head-to-toe mud. I was kinda jealous but I don't think it would have been so cute on a (supposed) adult.

Anyhow, We all got the mud pack treatments! hahaha

We used to spend the summers down here in the caravan, water skiings and generally playing the whole tide in and out of the water - lovely memories - mmm although this is where I had a bike accident which ruptured my appendix and left me with my only scar that I hate.

Funny how you can go somewhere 20 years on and still have that feeling :)

Andando en bici por el Támesis

2008-07-30T11:28:00.008+12:00

un jardín secreto, espectacular, no? y por el centro de la ciudad, pues, en Putney.

Un poco mas allá queda la puente del mismo nombre donde nacio mi papa en 1939, en un taxi! O eso es lo que nos ha contado. jaja!

fuimos andando en bici, Geordi y yo. A marea alta el río se desborda por las calles

Fantasies from the top deck

2008-06-22T04:38:00.011+12:00

One of the reasons I always enjoyed the ride home to battersea or clapham on the 137. Isn't he a beauty?

Hyde Park Corner

Sardinian Buggers

2008-06-21T22:24:00.007+12:00

Beautiful island, I think the nicest beaches and water I've seen around the Med.. mmm, maybe I need to see more, yes yes, I do. Ok, I will, alright, stop, you've made your point, I will do some more investigation and report back, I thank you.

Can you guess why I liked this one?? huh?? huh??

Open your golden gates baby

2008-06-21T22:02:00.003+12:00

Mmm, yes, they were right, I loved San Fran, shame I didn't have more time, I was tootin' me horn and dingin' me bell all day long on the trollies, woohoo! After this pic I got a haircut in the Castro from some lovely mexicans who chat and give you shandy booze and told me about the local goin' ons. Later a clam chowder in a loaf, I don't eat carbs of course so I licked the bowl, no swallowing.

Mmm Dolly

2008-06-21T21:54:00.003+12:00

I sure did love Dolly and I sure was surprised how she filled the Stockholm stadium, it was packed with dollettes, yes, that's what we calls them, I was more of a voyeur in that respect.

Moonstone Beach, San Simeon, CA

2008-06-06T17:19:00.010+12:00

After an afternoon driving up from LA, and thinking about a beach and some peace, and some pieces of fishy and wine, I decided to stop at my name sake's (almost) seaside town and unexpectedly got just what I wanted - which was nice :)

LALA Land

2008-06-03T06:50:00.003+12:00

Just a quickie.. coz it's the famous sign in the distance and kinda fits coz although I am enjoying it alot, there are too many dead looking people on the streets for the centre of this rich country.
I saw Tracy Ullman on the freeway in a rather sporty bmw - and I've had me heart broken in 17 places all over the city ever since, Tracy fan's, you know what I mean :)

Rarotongan arvos

2008-06-03T06:25:00.008+12:00

I think I'm goin' throught a minialist phase, so only a few photos here and there. Was lovely, poppin abart on me bike; next time I'm going to check out the cargo boat option - they route round all the islands in a month.. Mmm..

Roto-stinky-rua, but nice

The champagne pool, the colours are so mucho more intense than the camera reveals.

Jacks gets steamy

Cabo del este

2008-05-23T14:37:00.012+12:00

There were so many art decos and I didn't take many shots for some reason.

When leaving, I saw the most beautiful building near the port, a Tobacco company, but didn't get a pic, bugger bollocks.
well, I was there.. but I'm not now, they try to confuse you, you know.

Wild black beach, before reaching Napier, sea appears so powerful, quite scary

Looking back to Gisbourne, from the mountains

On a lake, an hour before Napier, I found some very friendly black swans and I think there ducklike pal, but i'm not sure, us not being initmates.

view back to Tauranga, along the coast road from Whakatane, start of the eastern Cape.

Poverty Bay, por la madrugada, beautiful moon.

Te Araroa, the most easterly town of New Zealand, Mmm and lovely fishy and kumara.

All these fotos are in the wrong order, but I can't be bothered to reorder them. Started with lunch with Matty in Tauranga, and got to Napier the following afternoon; back in Cambridge by the evening, if you were wondering, I know I was.

Atheist Mantis

2008-05-15T12:27:00.005+12:00

Atheist coz I say so, what a beauty

Sculpture, labour's humanitarian?

2008-05-09T19:55:00.007+12:00

Saw this sculpture down in the cementary, near the botanical gardens in Wellington. A little obvious I suppose, but this is the kind of work I like: nudes, people, something real and beautiful, with a display of passion.
It's a memorial for Harry Holland, a NZ labour party founder from the early 20th century, for his work as 'compassionate champion of the common people.'

Mount Maunganui, Bay of Plenty

2008-05-09T19:37:00.006+12:00

Went for a romp up Mount Maunganui in Tauranga with Matt; spectacular view from the top over town, the islands and towards the eastern cape in the distance, woohoo.

Nothing like a fun guy

Auricularia Polytricha

Coprinus Micaceous

Favolaschia calocera

While climbing the trail to the top of the Wairere falls, I came across a number of fungi, and I've had me interest peeked by young Thomas, so I took a few pics; can anyone confirm my IDs? :)

Wairere Falls

2008-05-09T07:06:00.010+12:00

Went for a walk up Wairere falls, a 250m drop, I think the largest in the North Island and just 30mins from home, woohoo.

Swimmin' along

2008-05-09T06:25:00.006+12:00

Some dolphins (Bottlenose, Tursiops truncatus, I think) swam along the bow with us one day, between Santa Cruz and San Cristobal.
