Recently my group of friends was shocked to hear the news that one of our most beautiful among us had been diagnosed with Cancer. The pesky thing, not content with making home in her breast, had decided you get up, wander around and settle in her lungs as well. Despite being confirmed as ‘triple positive’, […]
Read more "The Jackie O Show with Victor & Penny"I have some really funny friends. It is true. And occasionally I get to seem them to great things. At Entertaining Julia at the Town Hall Pub in Chicago the other week my friends Danielle and Tiff Puterbaugh, otherwise known as the Puterbaugh Sisterz, hosted an awesome night of comedy and music.

Read more "I have funny friends!"[Contd. from ‘Boston and Holyoak’] It it is not a long drive from Holyoak to Brooklyn and I made good time. The New York Skyline always takes my breath away a little. Even though I have spent so much time there over the years it is still a sight I enjoy. So much happened in […]
Read more "‘Beer and Back Again’ – The Final Leg – NYC, IL and Hospital!"Although this happened a couple of months ago now (I have been very lazy with my blogs lately, despite the fact that I have done some amazing things….I will rectify!)

There we met up with our favourite Anglo-Franco duo, Ellie and Julie (otherwise known as Pommie and Frenchie) for a little road trip. We rented a car and headed out […]

Read more "Surfing!!"There is nothing quite the feeling of coming to the end of a long journey to see a friendly face waiting to pick you up. This what happened to us this morning. Kellie, henceforth referred to as Kel, had got out of bed at the crak of dawn to pick us up. After the cramped […]
Read more "Melbourne at last but it is freezing!"The train journey was not quite what we had expected. We had paid for a compartment with a private toilet and shower and found that the carriage had been taken out of service. So we found ourselves, still in a sleeper cabin not quite as comfortable as expected. As ususal the air con was stuck […]
Read more "Singapore"Today we had the pleasure of accompanying The awesome Fiona Russo and her band of merry teachers and friends on a sailing boat trip from Koh Samui.
