It was 1972, and yesterday.
14 мая 2017 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
It's only happened twice. The first time was 1972. I'm in the back yard at home in Greensborough. A thunderous roar breaks and rolls across the sky. I look up to see and wonder, for Concorde has comeЧитать далее
Lost and found.

This week we are in Northern France. I have three great uncles buried here from WW1. One I can't find. The other two were brothers (my dad's uncles Albert and Edgar Galloway). There's also the deepЧитать далее
Honour and Resentment
16 мая 2017 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Such a tangled three days for us visiting WW1 sites. We stopped by ten gravesides or memorials and three museums. Two visits were to honour family members, others were to honour Canterbury BaptistЧитать далее
Brilliant Belgium.

It is said the French think they've got life worked out. Well the Belgians actually have : they are just totally cool about it. *
Brugge is a dine out feast for the eyes and tummy. MedievalЧитать далее
Belguim's sunshine coast

Here's a surprise. We start meandering to the edge of Europe, and behold: beach, classy shops, and apartments on the shoreline. A very familiar formula. The pic with four wheeler pushy is not our mainЧитать далее
Welcome to Britain. Keep left.
19 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
... And I do try to keep left in most ways. Ferry load and ride to get here from Calais is just like doing the Spirit of Tassie , just nine hours shorter. It took only a few hundred yards and someЧитать далее
So good, I bought the t-shirt. Again.

It was a wonderful end to a long day. Yesterday started on Belgium, then through France to the ferry. (Total Europe RHS driving distance = 3466 kms) . Though back in the UK, it was the end of the dayЧитать далее
Waking in Windsor. Didn't expect that...
20 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
It was already well after 10 pm as we set off in the camper from the Jon Gomm concert. Only the voice of Ms GPS to lead us to one of only two camper parking sites this side of Greater London. FortyЧитать далее
In family footsteps...
23 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
All my days I've heard of these people. Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Iris... Now we share meal, lounge, heart.
All my days I've heard of these place names: Bradford, Halifax, Hebden Bridge, the Moors. Now theyЧитать далее
Haworth, where Gordon learns something.

It seems my government school education may not have been complete. Around the 1800s Patrick and Alice Bronte had six kids while he also pumped out sermons to deliver as vicar of the church nextЧитать далее
York. (Its in Yorkshire, funny that.)
25 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
How to cover 3000 years of history in a ten minute walk: visit York. Ancient Britains, Romans, Vikings, and any other shaped head you care to name, they've all called York home. The first 'Christian'Читать далее
Making Yorkshire + Yorkshire making me
27 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
How to make a Yorkshire city. Take Melbourne's Hawthorn with all its narrow wriggly streets and dense housing. Put it on top of Mt Dandenong. Add all 'Footascrays' factories down below. Leave it allЧитать далее

28 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
It was early in World War 2.
The problem : break the code that communicates Hitler's strategic plans to his generals. These messages were coded AND encrypted by an unknown machine. This code was soЧитать далее
Leaving our home away from home.
30 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
It had to happen. After almost forty days we handed back our camper van. We (mostly) enjoyed 4000kms and almost 80 hours of driving. We've been quite comfy with soft beds, hot water, shower, kitchen,Читать далее
Back where we began. London.
30 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
Lots to love in London. Up high and down low, inside and out.
We stayed in Citadines in Holborn for three nights, then at an Air BNB in Pimlico for four nights. Oyster cards meant travelling on theЧитать далее
Creative beauty - God's, and St-Martin's
31 мая 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
We saw PLENTY of churches. St Martin-in-the-Fields could have been easily overlooked amidst busy Trafalgar Square. So glad I was encouraged to look harder. Transformation lives here - creativeЧитать далее
I wasn't planning to dance, but...

That's exactly what happens when special moments come around, like my absolute favourite singer songwriter does an impromptu acoustic concert. Jon Foreman of Switchfoot. In London. Ten minutes awayЧитать далее
Praying for peace and people

Still enjoying London...
4 июня 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Sunday. Hours after, the terror ripples on through the city. But it does not stop us. We all go quietly, gently, respectful of the pain felt across this community.
For us it meant worship and lunchЧитать далее
Uncle Fred
5 июня 2017 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
I reckon many people have an uncle Fred, but you don't have mine. A character all his days, he now lives quietly on the edge of London. This was our first chance ever to see him in his own home, town,Читать далее
