…Recently back from a flying visit to Australia to help long time friend and emigré to celebrate a big (let’s face it it was an epic) birthday. Had a fabulous time and it was great catching up with friends old and new, from this side of the pond and the […]
I’ve written here more than once of my sojourns to Nimbin, in Northern NSW. So I was somewhat distressed to learn this week that half the town, hippy capital of Australia (some would say the world), burned down in a suspicious fire. The whole incident has proved pretty […]
Last full day here in OZ got off to a very sweaty start with another early morning sesh at the gym. Afraid I ratted on my erstwhile hostess for being a bad girl last night and suggested her trainer showed her no mercy. Stupid me forgot that would mean no […]
Ok I realise that I’m in danger of becoming slightly obsessed here but these serpents are starting to take over the world. The earlier snake seems to have phoned a friend…Perhaps it’s the music they like (now playing Back to Mine Krafty Kuts which is kinda funky and they did […]

Great to back on the road again! After arduous journey of 22 hours flying, followed by a 3 hour drive, it all seems worth it now to get to this wonderful location. Having a brief stop in Oz for a few days with me good ole mate dj before heading […]
Shortly after Jersey another work trip took me to Brisbane and Sydney Australia followed by San Francisco, with a stopover in Bangkok en route staying at the Luxx hotel Silom. Gruelling trip and I came down with some ‘orrible lurgy so wasn’t able to make the most of it. Also […]
