you lazy B

Its been an age since my last blog post. Been pretty busy, but also havent felt really inclined to blog.

since the last blog we have been to Australia and back for 10 days. Main reason for travelling was Sue's mum's 80th birthday. It was a surprise. Travelling half way around the world for 10 days is a challenge (it took 3 days going to get over the jet lag), especially when you cram as many breakfast, lunches, dinners and BBQs in as we did. We also managed to drive 1400kms in the 10 days so we spent a fair bit of time in the car.

Now She Gets It















the one downside to the overall trip was the death of Georgia's nanny Phil while we were there. Unfortunately, she did not manage to make it to see her before this happened but she did stay on a few more weeks so she attended the funeral and drank one or two wines for her at the wake. RIP Phil

Once the "holiday" came to an end we were glad to get on a plane (except for the 20 hours flying time).

Now we need to knuckle down to work again. Next trip is supposed to be to Italy in late August/September (Tuscany) with the possibility of a trip to New York for Xmas if the budget can stand it.

Coming back to London has been great. Spring has definitely sprung.



















So what are the key differences between Perth and London?

- I did not here one siren in the 10 days
- people dont honk there horns in Perth
- the sky is blue (all the time)
- the food is fantastic especially the meat and seafood (but now perhaps more expensive than London)
- I could drive
- there are more people in our supermarket on a Sunday in London than in the main street in Perth on the same day
- there a way fewer people and cars (see bleow)
