Returning from a year away we noticed how much chlorine is in Sydney tap water. I've felt fine all year, but today feel ill. Connection? 
Saturday 9 February 2013
Good morning Jetlag! Oh well. 5:45 on day one, it could be worse. This is actually the perfect time to wake up & go cycling in Sydney
Friday 8 February 2013
Back in Sydney. Wow! Today's hotel looks pretty nice, and the rates are great Plus the sun is out. Think we'll stay here for a while!
Wednesday 6 February 2013
Feel exhausted & haven't even stepped on the plane yet. Does not bode well for the next 24 hours. Maybe I'll get lucky & sleep? #dreaming

House sitting for the old man. Trying to watch a wildlife show on his Tivo but had parental lock. Got it in 3 guesses. Nice one dad!

Hey, Apple! Instead of building another iPad with more storage, why not, oh, I don't know, INCLUDE AN SD CARD SLOT! #UserUpgradeable #morons

@cyclingtips @ScottMcGrory @mwkeenan Nice set! But worst team kit? Recently must be flesh coloured wrong-ness of 2010 Footon-Servetto!

Why do spambots try to register on our forum? New users can't post links anyhow. Either way, just coded more devilish anti-spam measures!

Whitney Houston, I Wanna Dance... on radio driving in Scunthorpe. Like a timewarp! Is this why I didn't listen to Lincs FM when I was 17?

Bit of snow in UK = 'traffic chaos' = everyone stays home = empty roads = Basingstoke to Lincoln in 3hr. Suits me!
Monday 21 January 2013
Passing through Lincoln so stopped by the cathedral. Unlike most over in France there's no free entry here though 
Sunday 20 January 2013
Oh no... not another pub lunch! This time it's Barton's Mill. And a snowy stroll by the river after. Nice! 
Saturday 19 January 2013
The Sun Inn, Bentworth. Another fantastic choice by Mr W. So cosy (necessity in this weather!) & great food. Cheers!

At 'The France Show' in London learning what it's like to... Erm... Live in... Erm... France. Something isn't right here!

Just spammed all my Face'weather channel'Book friends who mentioned Sydney heat with this: http://t.co/UD7w702M Wonder if they get it?
Thursday 17 January 2013
Newman Arms for lunch. Great pies & beer. Great company from way back. They are shy types mind, hence the bokeh
Wednesday 16 January 2013
Lunch at Royal China. Still some of the best Yum Cha in London. Someone's happy as first we'd had in a year! Yum!

Be careful feeding the Hyde Park squirrels from your hand... they might take more than you think!
Wednesday 16 January 2013
Squirrels and other fluffy little wildlife (and some not so little!) in London's Hyde Park. In Winter. Brrrrr!

Birthday drinks in London. And quick... take a picture of the traditional English spread before it's gone!
Tuesday 15 January 2013
Thanks for all the birthday wishes 
Today's birthday treat: woke up on an overnight ferry then drove to London in rush hour. Good times
Sunday 13 January 2013
Château des ducs de Bretagne (Castle of the Dukes of Brittany). On a nasty grey day Still looks pretty impressive!
Sunday 13 January 2013
Nante Cathedral: looks a bit shiny & new. Due to a fire in 1972 it seems, which meant huge restoration was in order.
Sunday 13 January 2013
Disgusting on so many levels. Basically assisted Bulimia. Really is no hope for a society that finds this acceptable http://t.co/xCZUUSg3
Saturday 12 January 2013
Seems restaurant by tonight's hotel is rather highly regarded. Probably only 'fine dining' we've had all year. Nice to end with a treat
Saturday 12 January 2013
We don't usually partake in fine dining, but it's almost end of the trip & hotel restaurant had top reviews. Yum!
Saturday 12 January 2013
Fango the Weimaraner (think that's what he is). Full of energy, that's for sure! Lucky his garden is a vineyard!

Late afternoon in Bergerac. Great light & long shadows so early in the day... winter isn't all bad
Friday 11 January 2013
Lunch in St Emilion. The bar was crowded with people swirling, sniffing & slurping their wine. Serious business here!
Friday 11 January 2013
Lunch in St Emilion. Everyone in the restaurant is swirling & sniffing their wine. Serious business here! For everyone but us that is
Friday 11 January 2013
At times like this I'm rather glad not to be a connoisseur of wine!
Friday 11 January 2013
Morning wonder round a very quiet St Emilion. Plenty of locals out for lunch though. Best time of year for it?
Friday 11 January 2013
In St Emilion tourist info. The illuminated control board for their 'light up' map makes a nice warm place to snooze.
Thursday 10 January 2013
There are few things in France as reliable or as consistent as mobile & roadside pizza outlets. Yum! 
Wednesday 9 January 2013
Another 4 course dinner of... well... I'm not sure what that second thing was, but it tasted good Yum

Aramits, in the Pyrenean foothills. Despite the hazy day... just wow!
