Deaths in fiction

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Gary

There is apparently a grave in the grounds of Trinity Church, New York for one Charlotte Temple. I say ‘apparently’ because although we wandered all around the graveyard this morning, we couldn’t find it. There are also a lot of … Continue reading →

Milan – Farnham

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Gary

The Joy of Travel

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Gary

Ignoring the very long wait at Brisbane airport, the journey wasn’t that bad. In fact, it consisted of three seven hour stretches (Brisbane to Singapore, Singapore to Dubai, Dubai to London) which broke it up quite nicely. This is clearly … Continue reading →
