Hard Rock Calling
Saturday, 27 June 2009
Summer in London means concerts galore. Whilst we did not make the pilgrimage this year to Glastonbury, we did head to Hyde Park for Hard Rock Calling.
So who was playing? The likes of Neil Young, Ben Harper, Fleet Foxes, Sea Sick Steve and, the Pretenders that's who.
We were treated with a special guest appearance by Paul McCartney during Neil Young's encore, which was pretty sweet.
We were also treated to some outstanding dance moves from 'stop war start peace' guy who seemed to be really enjoying himself.
So what was the weather like? Well, it started off hot and sunny, then like a typical London summer day the clouds rolled in and the rain began to pelt down on us. No dramas though, before long the sun was back out and the ponchos packed away.
Rain aside,the music was good and we'd say that Fleet Foxes were still the act of the day.

Easter trip to the Lakes District
Tuesday, 14 April 2009
Easter rolled around. It was time to escape the madness of the city and explore a part of the UK. Destination, Keswick.
Keswick is a small town located in the north east of the UK, and is one of the towns in the Lake District.
After a few hours in the car, we arrived and settled in at the house we had rented for the weekend. A nice place, and comfortably housed all eight of us that had made the mission.
Apart from visiting the world's largest coloured pencil, we gorged ourselves on giant Cumberland sausages, hiked up a hill and generally took in the tranquillity of this quaint town.
Definitely the city break we needed.
