Bugs

It'sbeen a while since the last post. it's now June and we've reached 26C in London. Here is a pic of the sort of thing we have to put up with brought back by all those travellers

Here are my great grandparents Ferrier at their wedding in 1906. I suspect it was a double wedding as their seem to be 2 couples in the middle of the picture. The couple on the right as you look at the picture is great grandads brother. Their mum is arrowed just above great grandads head. Their father was a stonemason and spent most of his time making gravestones for the cemeteries in Fulham and Chelsea.

Thsi is me Susan, David and Flo when I was 21. Bit on the skinny side. Picture is a bit blurred but you get the idea.

Easter

It's Good Friday in London. It's 22C and this is the car to have. Open top E-Type Roadster, pictured in Old York Road, Wandsworth this morning. The weather is set to continue over the whole of the Easter break [except for Scotland and Wales where it may rain] If you look carefully you can see the leaves appearing on the trees!!

Good Morning, here I am the morning after St Patricks day. Also the day when Ireland knocked Pakistan out of the cricket world cup. Can this be true? Yes it is. Have a good day

Amy Winehouse

A week or so ago Madeleine and I went to see Amy Winelake. She cancelled due to being hammered. So we went to see Papa George instead. Here he is on stage. We had our picture taken outside the Winelake gig by a press photographer and it appeared on the front page of the Metro last Monday. Now we're famous.

Small Car

I saw this small car on the Kings Road in Chelsea yesterday. It's Maronella. Like a cross between a Smart and a G-Whizz. Don't know if it's electric.

Today is 4th March 2007. It is a day notable for two things. One: it is my brother Johns' 55th birthday. Two: My son Michael and his friend Sam have just arrived in Mumbai at the start of their Big World Tour [BWT, different from a BLT which you can eat]. Here is a library picture of a water scene in Mumbai that I found on the net.
