Well – it might NOT be a cyclone, but it’s. Windy, and raining. Like howling and lashing sort of stuff. Because Mr G’s flat is up on a hill, we get some nice views of the city valley beyond, but we also get the wind swirling around us and rattling windows. Just like home when there’s a cyclone hanging around, but considerably colder! I’ve NEVER had daffodils before. So last weekend I mowed the lawn, using an. They’re actually quite cool. Shops, and bounded by two waterways that run side by side on the we...

Friends of Friends…. John is very lovely and it was a joy to have a good old gossip about all things Kucom! Actually being told at any given piece of dialogue. As oppsed to the Farndales however, it was very realistic in its portrayal of a rehearsal session when the director is missing… Had to smile at that! Afterwards we had a stroll around the South Bank, but I couldn’t linger long as it was quite late and I had an hour commute back to Bedford, and a 6am start to get to work by 9! So, no problem, IR...

Tate that! | Gothling Up Over
https://gothling.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/tate-that
A couple of weeks ago we were invited to Sarah’s for a bit of a ‘do’. Met some more people, as well as catching up with some others we’d met previously. As often happens at Sarah’s, Gothling ended up giving a mini-concert of some of her songs (before the wine began to interfere with the lyrics). But she also turned teacher for a while, sharing some tricks with Sarah. At this point I have to admit that I had forgotten just how LOUD these girls get when they are together – bloody hell! Well that would be b...

London – Again! | Gothling Up Over
https://gothling.wordpress.com/2009/11/22/london-again
London – Again! While the DWP Library Archivist, Angie, is sampling Pinot’s in the Tasmanian wine regions (mmmmm….) I’ve been relieving her position for two weeks at The Adlephi in London. So as I could also have Gothling and Susan Stormcloud along, Angie offered her house for us to stay in for the duration – FREE London accommodation – YAY! Touristy/shoppy things. Once again – Susan has all the pics! Saturday we did an ‘Open Top Bus Tour’, bbrrrr…. (didn’t help our coughs at. Nothing like fondling a han...

Conwy (no – it’s NOT a typo). I forgot to mention that sometime during that night we were dubbed “Ni good ’nuff to be Welsh like” by the sparse couple of Welsh people who were there amongst the Londoners, Finns, Wessexes, Birminghamers, Ghosts and us. Very priviledged we are! After another yummy breakfast we were ready to hit the road again by 9.30, only slightly bleary eyed, and headed for the glorious Elan Valley. Amazing how a late night fuelled by Welsh ghost stories can take it out of you…. The town...

These boots are made for walkin’. And that’s just what I’ve be doing! Heaps of traipsing “Up Hill and Down Dale” Ha! Down DALE – the Yorkshire Dales. I kill me…. Anyway, darling Graham left me a book “50 Walks in West Yorkshire”, of which so far I’ve done 4 ranging from 2.5 hours to 4 hours. Don’t think I have a hope of doing the whole 50, but we’ll see how the legs the hold up. I. Walking terminology now – like ‘kissing gates’? As you can see the weather was particularly kind. Still very crisp, but ...

We just received the our birthday cards today – what a joy! Gothling’s, on the other hand, was a very different affair – as we would no doubt expect! We were visited by some of our new friends, including one of the Katie’s who is only 12 days away from expecting baby number 2! Dawn and us, but Sarah had been invited to another party near where Dawn lives, so, we ALL went to the other party and met some more people and had a blast! Promise you, Gothling made a good effort before we finally headed home abo...

High in AND on the Highlands! Well I think we could not have chosen a more fitting, or more gob smackingly beautiful location to end our year in the north! We had the whole Mull of Kintyre ‘mist rolling in from the sea’ thing happening regularly, just to add to the prevalent old and mystical feel to this ancient country. Of the city skape. And like everywhere in the UK, they do their Christmas Lights. We hung around Loch Ness for about an hour, driving on some lovely windy roads, and through some cattle ...

Well – kind of. Actually, we’ve been trying to take it a bit easy in preparation for our final charge into our lst couple of months on ‘the flip side’. Not really working though! About a month ago we went to the first night of a music festival in Bingley. A market town about 20 min on the train from Leeds. The first night was free (cool! And we were joined by Kelly and her mum Jean. Well actually they invited us! And you’ll never guess who showed up for an impromptu gig? How cool was that? Gothling’...
