From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. The Cutty Sark, the world's last remaining tea clipper at 138 years old, burned down on Monday. Links to this post. Army v Navy Rugby. And I thought Stampede was crazy! Barry took me to the big annual Army vs. Navy rubgy game at Twickenham Stadium the Saturday before last. As you can imagine, it's quite the grudge match! What a fantastic day and a cultural experience! That's a first for me! There were houses...

From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. I'm really not doing so well keeping up with this thing lately! Hmmmwhere to start. I moved into the house in Uxbridge a short time a. Go, and I'm loving it! I have a lovely back garden and Barry has proved a dab hand with the gardening, so he is doing most of the upkeep! Barry has moved into Uxbridge with me as well. His housemate was moving out, so we just decided it made sense. He has a lot of stu...We're...

From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. So I know that a couple of my readers are Harry Potter fans. Here is Harry as you've never seen him! I'm planning to go to this play, because it has horses in it, and because Daniel Radcliffe has a beautiful body - I can definitely appreciate beauty! The play that he's in is called " Equus. Links to this post. Wow, am I ever behind in my blog! I am busier than a one-armed paper hanger with a cold! I had the ...

From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. This post is long overdue, but I have been waiting for pictures! As many of you already know, Barry asked me to marry him at the Annual Summer Ball at the military base where he works! I'm very happy and hope you are all happy for me! It went as follows:. Ze-style headband from Japan, and we bought some little round wire-rimmed glasses and a rifle. He was original! It was so sweet and romantic! The office mo...

From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. Well, I've been chastised by my faithful readers once again. And rightly so! You haven't heard about my trip to Wales! So wild and beautiful in an untamed sort of way. I loved it! The place I stayed was on a farm called Pembrokeshire Sheepdogs. Was fantastic - I went to the service at the Cathedral. I did a lot of walking, which was good for me. I also ate a lot of Welsh cakes. We had lots of fun going shopp...

From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. Well, I've got a bit of time this morning, so I figured a short blog was in order. Uncle Jac came back to London on Tuesday, so we've had a fun week together, although I'm still working. Tuesday night we just chilled out. Barry came over and the three of us chatted over supper and a bottle of wine. Wednesday Uncle Jac went off to Kensington Palace. To check it out, and stopped by Harrod's. Links to this post.

From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. Wedding and Derby Day. This blog is dedicated to my uncle, Clarence Esau, who passed away after a short battle with leukemia. He was my biggest blog fan and a wonderful human being. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. His illness was mercifully short, but his life should have been longer.*. And then to Mossiman's. Barry and I went to the Epsom Derby. Just called The Derby, which is the other m...

From Chiswick to Mayfair: Homeward bound

From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. Wow - I can't believe my last blog was so long ago! Sorry to any faithful readers left out there! I've let you down abysmally! I've also taken to using my iPod, since I can listen to a whole album each direction. It gets dark here earlier than in Canada - by about 4:00 pm. I don't like it much, but the lights of Piccadilly Circus are definitely bright when I go home. Our new office is a block from th...The C...

From Chiswick to Mayfair: Berlin & Environs
http://chrisinchiswick.blogspot.com/2007/10/berlin-environs.html
From Chiswick to Mayfair. A diary of my adventures as a Canadian in London and travels to Europe. So Barry and I went to Berlin, Germany a few weeks ago. I managed to snag a really cheap fare with Ryanair - it ended up costing a total of £50 ($100) for the two of us. We rented a car, partially because the airport we were flying in and out of was quite a way out of the city. It was very nice to have our own wheels, although we still did a lot of walking! We did a lot of travelling around and saw a lot of ...
