Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Wednesday, February 21, 2007. The winter that was. As the thermometer climbs into the set of numbers above zero, I would like to remember the winter that was past (and pray that it doesn't return again soon). Last wednesday we had about 3 inches of snow which proceeded to hang around all week like that guest from England who just won't get the hint that at some stage you will. Need your lounge back.

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. Drink for the Orient.

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Monday, January 29, 2007. As I stepped out of the doors of Sir Branson's Phonograph Emporium into the chill air of Monday morning, I was greeted by a flurry of soft white snow. By Jove! This was my very first snow storm that I had the pleasure of walking through. I didn't meet a soul on the way home, and it felt very peaceful wandering the cold, crisp streets blanketed under fresh snow. Posted by Sgt M at 2:22 PM. To Lt B Smitherton,.
