Yesterday I returned from a weekend away in Victor Harbor. For those not familiar with the region Victor is to Adelaide what Brighton is to London, a beach side destination about an hour out of town. Except it’s different. If you replace Brighton’s rocky beach with nice natural sand, a tacky chav-filled jetty with a […]

I’ve been back home in Adelaide for 2 months now. Wow. That went fast. So far I’d have to say my return has gone extremely well, better than expected, after a few weeks of feeling unsettled I quickly found my feet and am loving the lifestyle Australia has to offer. However.

I’m onto my third glass of French fine wine in the British Airways lounge at Heathrow, an hour from now I’ll be climbing into my Business Class seat, enjoying my welcome Champagne, then locking down for the 24 hour flight home to Adelaide.

In typical simonbills.com fashion I’m breaking convention yet again, 2 blogs in 2 days if you don’t mind. Yep. So, this evening I spent a bit of time playing round in Lightroom setting up some presets to automate the export of photos in a blog friendly manner, I think this new way of presenting the […]

While the rest of you working stiffs are toiling away at your 9 to 5s I’m onto my third Banks of the evening watching monkeys run across the golf course having spent the afternoon scuba diving. Life is tough in Barbados. Dinner is on the way (Andy’s whipping up his famous jerk chicken I think?) […]

Super Awesome™ (adjective) The act of being better than super and better than awesome; the highest compliment one can pay to an event or person; popularised by Dave Gerhard. Eg – that canal boating weekend was super awesome. And so it was, 12 of us had found our way to Rugby (the birthplace of rugby […]
