Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Just a quick post to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year, wherever and whatever you’re doing!

Have a very safe and happy festive season!

The London List

Admittedly, during the year I did not write about every step I took in London.

One Year

I realised the other day that the travel component of my Travel Journal is one year out of date.  So, for those of you still checking and reading this (who I believe are few and far between), you will start to notice updates from November 2006 forward as I input all my travel stories from the past year.

Dark Days are Here

Daylight Savings is gone, and the dark days are setting in for the winter.  As it approaches 5:00 PM my work days are ending with glorious sunsets out the office window (albeit across the cemetary) but, by the time I leave, I’m strolling through the car park in the darkness.  This is, of course, the price you pay for wonderfully long Summer days.

For those of you in Melbourne, see you in a month!
