                    <title>It's A New Dawn It's A New Day It's A New Life....For Us And We're feeling Good.</title>
                    <description>I have a few left over blogs from Germany to write but something bigger has come up parenthoodSo our son was due to arrive give or take a few days or weeks on the fourth of August but he decided to up the ante a little and make it on the first. This kind of thing is all old hat to people who39ve been through it I know...You always wonder how you39ll be when your pregnant wife wakes y</description>

                    <description>My 39little39 brother wears green clothes for a living and recently spent six months in the middle of nowhere out in somewhere quite sandy. To mark his return in rude health his bosses decided that he and his friends needed to have things pinned on their jacket pockets by someone who was born into a superior position and whom we all honour and respect. Very much.Thankfully he and his fami</description>

                    <title>Heusenstamm</title>
                    <description>One of the best things about being in Germany is that I have family everywhere. I may be prone to the odd exaggeration but this one is on the button. I can visit any of the major cities here and there39ll be someone to see within spitting distance.One of my many ace cousins Ulli her husband Kalle and their son Christoph live just outside Frankfurt. They were having a housewarming party on th</description>

                    <description>This one is for friends in Westerwald so will be in German. Guys I39d not seen for 15 years but met up with at the pub and picked up with the same jokes pisstaking and general daftness that I39d left off with. I think that39s a sign of good friendship.Also Westerwald...da gibt39s Erinnerungen. Zwischen Schule und Uni anderhalb herrliche Jahren mit guten Freunden nicht so viele V</description>

                    <description>I am very overdue with my blogs...I39ve been doing all sorts of interesting working and plyaing things here in Germany and have been neglecting the 39online record39 side of things. I39ll try and catch up this week.I39ve been in Kassel for nearly two months now and it39s a great city. I39d been regaled with stories of how the city is pretty grim but these are pretty wide of</description>

                    <description>Going back to Japan isnt travelling any more its going home but Im back on the road again. Im studying in Germany until probably the end of June and that certainly merits blogs. Being in the Fatherland especially for more than a few days presents an interesting set of emotions. Not only does it allow me to make progress on my research and gain German insights into my topic a</description>

                    <description>Our holiday in Japan was brilliant but Mitsu and I had little time to ourselves so we thought we needed one. Nothing like a day off to get over your weeks off...Country pub by car or by train The former precludes a lunch time pint so train it was. BradfordonAvon is only 15 minutes by little train on the PortsmouthSouthampton line and follows the Kennet and Avon Canal sometimes being only</description>

                    <description>Mama39s Food RocksEating at home in Japan is my favourite thing in the country. It still amazes me how Japan on the surface  out on the street at work in social spaces  is highly formal ritualised and in this sense Japanese culture looks miles away from where we39re 39from39. Of course you have the obvious external differences in the construction and visual arts in general </description>

                    <description>Food in Japan is something elsehere follows a lighting quick aperitif for those who might be interested. Part 1 involves what you can get your laughing gear involved with if you go out. Part 2 will be what we eat at home. Take off your blinkers it39s not all or in fact quite rarely sushi and open your mind Welcome to a new world. I knew very little about Japanese food before I mad</description>

                    <description>I39ve been away from this blogging business for over a year now and am tentatively dipping my toes in the water again. Less words more frequency I don39t have as much timecommitment as I used toMy first academic conference was brilliant in parts but that39s of no interest to the greater public Berlin though should definitely be. I39ve been here a few times  including living</description>

                    <description>Well we left the snow of Germany and Switzerland behind and arrived back to...snow Our flight from Zrich was delayed due to Heathrow reducing their incomings by about a third due to a heavy dumping of the white stuff and it wasn't though customs.  Lucky we hadn't booked to fly to any of the other airports in the UK all closedSo on the bus and through the blizzard then dragging our bag</description>

                    <description>Part two...Switzerland. Tearfully leaving Germany behind it was back on the train and back to Zrich. This was my third time in the country but the first one Id slept in a bed there First time a missed connection necessitated kipping in a shop doorway the second was en route to Vaduz. Anyway third time very lucky. We were met at the station by Manuela another of Mitsus dearest friends </description>

A week away from Blighty visiting friends in Germany and Switzerland....Germany first We flew to Zurich and got the train up into BadenWrttemberg one of the southern most Bundeslnder in Germany and home to the Familie Gro whose Desiree has been close friends with Mitsu since Canada days some way back.

                    <description>Neverending these weekends away. As fun as they are exhaustingThis one was planned back in early October and seemed miles away when we gave it the green light. Still time never standing still and all that malarkey it inevitably arrived. The plan family steam trains countryside candlelight.So a wet Saturday morning saw us tootling down the M5 very nostalgic used to be an almost weekly o</description>

                    <description>Another brief stab at little writing and mostly photos. Not being the official photographer these are mere patches of the day but noteworthy nonetheless. I can't really do the day justice in words. How to sum it up...Sarah looked sensational it was really fun to be suited and booted and part of one of your best and oldest friend's weddings all of the important stuff went like clockwork  the b</description>

                    <description>As per my current lifestyle this is more pictures and less prose. A weekend in Bath visiting old friends. They're not old but I have known them for a long time. I've known TomLaura for about 2015 years. They forsook Cheltenham when they got back from travelling and set up an organic deli in Bath. It's been running for three years and is going strong. I'll shamelessle plug it a bit and it's wo</description>

                    <description>Lightning blog this one just sharing photos of a stag party which also doubled as something of a reunion...One of my best and longest standing friends Nick is getting married at the end of this month and this was his stag. Some people made all too brief appearances others stayed for the full duration. Thankfully someone had realised that we're too old for strippers and vomiting on ourselves</description>

                    <description>This really is the absolute last minute we're moving into our student flat tomorrow morning. This will have to be my fastest blog of all time less than an hour. You may think that I compile these things with a casual abandon that somehow magics everything together seamlessly but it's not true. I usually chop change edit hack and reedit these many times over before they're released into the </description>

                    <title>Northern Cyprus Kibris Revisited</title>
                    <description>I find myself at more or less in the 59th minute of the 11th hour well this might be a minor exaggeration but this blog will be a lightning summary of an idyllic ten days in Northern Cyprus. Also the photos are in pretty raw format apologies.We arrived in Cyprus a little later than planned delayed flights and so forth. My big brother Charlie and his lovely lady Lesley were also out for som</description>

                    <title>Istanbul a Cat's Guide</title>
                    <description>These fellas deserve a blog of their own. They're not exactly strays not but house cats either. The locals tolerate and accommodate them we didn't see any rats and they brighten the place up considerably.  Friendly hungry fun and funny.</description>
