Getting organised and out the door.

A Flaneur in Ottawa

Here I am at home, a flaneur in my own village, will I see enough on my daily walk to the Planet to fill my pages, only time will tell.

And so We Leave for Home

Back on a plane home.


On the plane you eat microwaveables and watch movies. Watched a movie about a monkey that showed what monkeys people are. Watched a movie about a lantern which showed how black and white people are.

Then watched one about two friends on a trip who talked and talked and it was funny and relaxing. Though the plane landed before E.B. and I could see the last five minutes.



The Taxi drove us home along the canal, and Ottawa seemed a little paradise.

About to Leave England

In the past seven days we have taken many trains subways and buses. We have used up all our passes.

As it is friday we have fish as our final meal.





Bleary eyed getting ready to head for the airpot.

Bruce drove us to the station.




Subway & train...


Heathrow Terminal.

Saw Joseph Beuys

In London we saw a great retrospective of Gerhard Richter called Panorama at the Tate Modern.

Got up late and took the train to London. Saw Barry Flanagan at the Tate London.

The Show covered from 1965 - 1982. Early conceptual pieces to his late bronzes.

Saw a man on a horse and...

Choosing the Right Clothes

Bought a Netsuke of a frog licking a Shitake Mushroom in an Antique Court in York. It is Circa
1850 and of wood. And then we ate Shitake mushrooms for dinner.

Each day we take the train to a new location and each day  have to decide what to wear.

Because each day the weather is different, sometimes it rains in England...



Sometimes its cold and windy, sometimes its warm and sunny...

And of course the basics...




At this precise moment on a sunny train platform in Peterborough getting ready to depart for London I am wearing the perfect clothes.

Cecil Court and York

In Cecil court just off Charing cross Road near St. Martins in the Fields, we bought two small late Miro prints which we took back and one small Marie Laurencin print from 1924 which we kept.


York was Windy

Cambridge and London

We ate a great meal in Clipsham at the Olive branch, a one star Michelin Restaurant; I had partridge in a moule sauce with fancy sides.

Cambridge Punters



King's College Chapel


I bought a new Trilby from someone who didn't think I should have it.

We got up and took the bus to the train station where we took the 8:40 London train to King's Cross Station. We went to the Sattchi Gallery to see a show of contemporary sculpture.



Then we went to the V&A where there were more then many things.

In Peterborough England

Leaving Wales for England

Our last meal in Wales was at the only open restaurant in Amroth where we each had a Giant Lambshank, the lamb must have been the size of a cow, it was good though.


We drove from Amroth to Cheltenham Spa where John and Barbara left us at the train station from which we took a train to Birmingham and then to Peterborough.

Father Bruce picks us up at the train station in Peterborough.



Bruce lives in a semi - detached two storey house with a nice front garden and a fenced back garden.
