There was commotion by the door, I stopped mid-sentence and ran full speed towards her, along with more paps than I’d seen in my life. Our cameras were prepared hours ago, manual focus, exposure and flash were set and locked in with duck tape, all for this very moment, there would be no mistakes. She […]

Seven year old in the Apple store “But mummy, I’ve been asking for one since I was six” Mum “Just because you’ve been asking for it doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it. I asked for a horse since I was six and didn’t get one till I was 40” Mother/son conversations like this are what […]

Alanis Morissette would have considered it ironic. It’s not consistent with my understanding of irony, but I guess they do things a little differently in Canada, eh? For me the rain was just something that needed to be worked around, and fortunately right after the ceremony when it needed to be dry, it was. The […]

With wine from France (red) and Argentina (white), an English band, Indian food and Australian photographers Nisha and Carl certainly know the meaning of multiculturalism.

What a week! I was woken this morning by a flash of light outside my window, several seconds later the unfamiliar sound of thunder followed, first time I’ve encountered lightning in London.

Has the world turned upside down? If Nadal being bundled out of the French in the 4th round to a Swede, a Swede(!), wasn’t weird enough London has just reeled off her second successive sunny weekend.
