Well, despite the continued rain there was one event last week that we couldn’t cancel or postpone. Come rain or shine it was going to go ahead, and go ahead it did. This also answers the question of what I did at the weekend.
It was party time!
Not big tall people drinking too much kind of [...]

in Entertainment Australia

Any time up to around six months ago if anybody were to ask, nobody did, but if they had asked “what do you miss about England?” – it would have been the beginning of a very short conversation.
