It is very easy to forget we are in a different country, so many elements of Eivissa are familiar from previous adventures. Getting safely in our hotel was an adventure. We arrived at Gatwick airport very early and launched into a feast of duty free shopping. Our flight announcement was delayed and five minutes before […]
Despite my own and others efforts I am not a deeply religious person. I have however spent many a Sunday morning gazing at the heavens, reaching transcendental states and worshipping dance music. The Mecca of dance music is a small island in the Mediterranean called Ibiza and I have dreamed about going there for over […]
Last Friday attended a very worldly flat party in Hammersmith put on by a school friend of Anna’s. There were Australians, Spaniards, Germans, French and other murky characters.

You may have read I am going to Biarittz soon for a week of relaxation with Uncle Phil before I see my wife. Biarittz is on the Atlantic coast of France. I have it on good authority that it is like Cannes but with surf. I am very fond of surf. A long time ago […]
One of the benefits of working with an English crew has been engaging in banter and learning phrases in my mother tongue. A couple of stand outs from the last six weeks are cleverly dappled across the title of this very posting. Sneaky lion -The sneaky lion is the lion in a pride who hangs […]
