Look at this! Incredible Street Art

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

My friend Fiona emailed these amazing pictures. It’s the art of a guy called Julian Beever. This guy is so talented! Has anyone seen him around? He’s English but travels all over the world doing 3D chalk pavement drawings - USA, UK, France, Germany, Australia and Belgium. Here’s the email contents. He also has a […]

The Unexpected Extension to our Trip

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

So, there we were sitting on our plane on the tarmac ready to be flown to Washington DC to get our flight to London. And we sat, and we sat to then be told that the toilets weren’t working and maintenance needed to sort it out. It would take “15 minutes”.
Three hours later we were […]

Seizing these divine moments

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

The sun has been shining today. Yesterday we were witness to the record LA rainfall for May! We felt very at home but without an umbrella! We’ve just finished our 2nd day at the Origins conference and have the last day - Ethos - tomorrow. I’ve had such an amazing time of being inspired and […]

What shall I eat next?!

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Well, here we are in Pasadena for the IMN training and Origins. I’m having a fantastic time. Really enjoying interacting with all these fantastic people from different places and backgrounds. What a privilege to be here all the way from little England creating and enriching friendships with people we may never have have met otherwise […]

A day out in Hollywood

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

Today was really good fun. We went to Hollywood Boulevard and had Starbucks in view of the Hollywood sign - brilliant! We had a good time comparing our feet to the footprints of the stars outside the Chinese theater. We didn’t see any famous people (I’m sure everyone was delighted to see the real Sam […]

Trees with flowers on

Monday, May 15th, 2006

It’s Monday morning and we’re about to get up and go to Universal Studios - very excited! There are so many little things to notice that I’ve not seen before. One of those things is a tree with big flowers on!

I think it’s really beautiful. The colours of plants and trees are incredible. That’s what […]

We’re here!!…Isn’t everything big?!

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

I am feeling slightly pleased with myself for having been awake for 22 hours! Our flight was 11 hours and we’ve been on the go since. Sam has to nudge me every so often to check I’m awake. We’ve kept ourselves busy getting “groceries” at the “store” (I’m learning!). I think we’ll try and […]

My new car

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

I’ve got a new car!! (Did you guess from the post title?!)
We are now a 2 car household and Sam gets his car back and doesn’t have to rely on getting lifts from other people anymore. I got this one through work because I do a lot of business miles. We’re leasing it with help […]

I’m soooo excited!

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

Only 3 sleeps til we fly to LA! I love travelling! I love holidays! I even love washing, ironing and packing this week. Cannot wait. I’m really excited to meet people we’ve only met in cyber space, to experience a different culture and climate (really good as we’re living in permanent winter in the UK!). […]

Miserable on a sunny day

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

It’s the warmest day of the year so far today. Suddenly the temperature has jumped from 15 degrees (celcius) to 25 degrees. The rubbish bit is that I’m poorly - very red nose, very sore throat, no energy and a big headache - and have been sleeping, not enjoying the sunshine. I’ve had the day […]
