WELCOME TO THE WORLD 'DAISY ELLEN WISEMAN' 12 May 2005... read more

Monday the 25th of April, 2005 saw Sal and Mick arrive in Manchester via Heathrow, where they were met by Sal’s Aunty Margaret and cousin Ann. A short trip later on the motorway and the four arrived at Margaret and her husband John’s house in suburban Blackpool. Margaret and Ann are members of the Walsh clan of Northern England. Women of the Walsh clan are generally called Ann and the men, John.

Nearly everything's gone, our tiny flat is empty and spacious again. Just a few more tasks to do and we're off. Then, hopefully, these entries will get slightly more interesting. The most exciting thing I've done this week is get an international driving permit. Now I can legally drive in Cambodia. Hurrah! Not that I was thinking about it. In fact, I probably won't. We bought an MP3 player this week and now I'm trying to cut down our 300+ albums to a choice of just 30. If I had a Room 101, it would involve this task. I've had to cut out so many indie riffs that I feel heartbroken. But, it's better than lumping around 300 CDs. And, at least I get to leave most of Gem's R&B safely locked away on the PC. ... read more
