My, but it’s been quiet in here!

Friday, September 19th, 2008

I’ve moved on from the loyalty company I was contracted to at the beginning of the year. I then worked for an online dating company for a few months, adding [...]

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

My wife and I love challenging roads and are avid viewers of the BBC’s Top Gear programme, so were inspired when watching this weeks show, where the presenters go off in search of Europe’s greatest driving road and end up showing the Stelvio Pass, just over the Swiss border into Italy.
We are now planning a [...]

Peacocks!

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

I got home from work yesterday and my Brother-in-law pointed out that there was a Peacock sitting on our neighbour’s roof!
That was strange enough, but I heard a odd noise just before going to work this morning and my Sister-in-law discovered that the original Peacock was still on the neighbour’s roof, but now there’s another [...]
