Old London Town

Beth's friend Sheva, kindly met us at Heathrow and shouted us our first British beer.
On a 10 minute walk from our lodgings, i counted 5 pubs. And we're in a mediumly populated area, i believe there will be many more to find :)

It's great to be in England, finally. Everyone at home is dearly missed, particularly my parents. But in time i guess we just get used to these things. The air is chilly but the sky is clear, the sun is very low and the town we're in is just so quaint. Many, many photographic opportunites await, really looking forward to getting stuck into some shooting.

Sorry for too few postings, not a lot of time and limited net access. Hopefully we'll find a house to share soon and be back online.

Bangkok to London

So we've now made it to London. The flight wasn't too bad, but still long. Saw some amazing scenery from the air, the Himalaya's was probably the highlight, though the deserts of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan are extraordinary. They're huge countries.

Images of Bangkok

Here's a few photos here from my wanderings in Bangkok. I didn't shoot as much as i expected i would, took me some time to adjust to the place. I think a second visit could yield more images.

Bangkok

Arrived late last night, very humid indeed. Can't get internet happening in the hotel room, so probably no Skype or Blog entries till London. AU$4 for 15 minutes for hotel lobby internet, hmmm.

It feels very strange being here, it's a very different place and nothing like i expected. Missing everyone of course, i think i'll feel more comfortable in London. Will keep trying to get the laptop going on the net in our room.

Farewell Home, Hello world.

This is it. In less than 16 hours i'll be London bound, via Bangkok for a spell of course. Bags packed, last delicious family meal at the local chow's had. And what wine! The Maurice O'Shea's was a treat, but it was the Brand's of Coonawarra 1998 Patron's Reserve that was simply steller. So thankyou Dad and Mum for a fine night out with my sis and her hubby, a great way to say farewell. It really won't feel long a'tall, before we catchup in person. The Skype calls with webcam will be very soon indeed :)

It was 30 years ago today

Frightningly i am now 30. It's all downhill from here, right??

This is a lovely photo my photographer friend, Andrew Wilson, shot for Beth and i in his studio this morning. The big adventure begins so very soon.

Farewell Sky
