What to do on a sunny Sunday after a busy day sailing on J24’s in the Great Sound on Saturday? Head out to the Dockyard to give the new car a run, grab an ice cream and check out the new Snorkel Park. It also gave me a chance to take some photos of [...]
I eventually decided to spend the day at Warwick Long Bay. The weather was great, the sand was extremely pink and my body got even pinker. I even managed to find lots of old crab claws and shells for photos. The beach was surprisingly quiet which made it especially nice, and with the water [...]
It’s Friday, it’s sunny, and it’s time to spend a day at the beach. So now the decision gets tricky – which one to visit? I hope that will be the hardest decision I have to make today. I will be packing the obligatory suntan lotion, camera, shades and plenty of water, but [...]
I have devoted most of today to one thing: registering the new (old) car. At Transport Control Department (aka TCD), pictured on the right. The procedure is:1) Take a ticket2) Wait3) Keep Waiting4) Watch the queue build5) Fidget nervously6) Wait some more7) Skip a bathroom break for fear of missing your spot Register [...]
So there I was today, zipping around town on the new Vespa with camera in tow, when I decided that a good way to look at Bermuda was in the rear view mirror. So I have started a set of photos entitled ‘In the Mirror‘, description hopefully self-explanatory. The images may be reflections [...]

After purchasing a Vespa the other day, I suddenly wondered why the Italians seem to care about form and function, whereas others (our teutonic brethren, for example) only tend to focus on function. Take these airport trollies in Rome, for example – normally such carriages are drab, boring, functional things, but not in Rome. [...]
So it has got to that stage where our cat Hamish needs to go out, but we cannot let him out because we are in temporary accommodation and he may not come back. Solution: a cat leash from RC Pet Products. Now, we have tried a leash on him before, with little or no [...]
This week my task is to try and find a car. The Minister for Finance would like a Mini Softop, whereas I just want anything that has four wheels – on an island this small you do not need anything too fancy. A VW Beetle like the one on the right would be great, [...]
Our poor cat Hamish arrived after spending more than 3 months in a cattery in the UK (whose site I am currently building). The poor guy cannot be let out at the moment so he is not particularly happy – I guess he wants to catch a lizard or two. Hamish looks a bit [...]
