Reflections on an Incredible Holiday August 27, 2005
Posted by Martin in : Overseas Travel , 1 comment so farOur return flight was busier than the inward one but was comfortable nonetheless. Tik and I had the most perfect few weeks together, spending nearly all our time together without any problems whatsoever. I’ve never experienced such seamless compatibility before and we complement each other perfectly.
A full day in London August 25, 2005
Posted by Martin in : Overseas Travel , add a commentWe escaped the alcohol-induced wrath of Barry and Dan’s hangovers to spend our last full day in London.
Our journey from Milton Keynes was in the 1st class compartments of the new Virgin Trains so we enjoyed feeling like we were important for about an hour.
Men Behaving Badly August 20, 2005
Posted by Martin in : Overseas Travel , 1 comment so farI’d been really looking forward to having a very select high-school reunion in Milton Keynes. Tik and I travelled from London by train where we met up with; Barry Price, Dan Morrison and Mike Ranson.

Went to see the Theatre production of Les Miserables in London. Loved it and we had incredible central E row tickets. I’ve seen the musical three times now and Tik and I have been watching the DVD for weeks in preparation for the show.
This time we had an truely outstanding version of Bring Him Home, actually more powerful than Colm Wilkinsons rendition and I enjoyed Marius’s interpretation of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables - singing in anger rather than regret.
All of the unsophisticated friends who weren’t interested in seeing it with us missed out on a real treat. We went with Grandma, Michelle and Peter.
10 Days up North August 14, 2005
Posted by Martin in : Overseas Travel , add a commentI was naturally very excited to get back home to see Bonnie & Tilly again. Last time I was home I remember taking Bonnie to the vet as she was barely able to walk without limping.
I left England 2 years ago with the painful memory of her arthritic pain and of her whimpering as she couldn’t jump onto the bed.
