St Martins and The Westcliff

Last week Saturday V and I were in action at St Martins down in the south (hence last week’s trip to miniland) where Ruth’s dad is the principal. Amazing chapel with an incredible history, designed by H Baker & F Fleming, and built by unskilled labourers … well, you have to see it. It was quite a trip down memory lane being back in a high school, amazing how they still have the same feeling so many years later.

Ruth, David and their families were total rockstars. Thank you all for your generosity and warmth. As they say in the classics, it ain’t a party until the nuns start dancing.

Don’t you think David had a whole James Bond thing going?

I’m slowly getting better and getting my voice back, should be back to full email duty next week. BTW if you’re a fan of Chuck Palahniuk, I watched Choke the other day and its actually pretty good, not as great as Fight Club, but pretty good, especially if you happen to be very feverish (NSFW or home actually). Kind of like speed reading a year’s worth of YOU magazines in three hours.

If for some bizarre reason you’re following my camera collecting exploits – I have just bought my dream camera, expect to see me carrying it about on my next vacation.
