Precious metals

Most people have, at some stage or other, dreamed of what it would be like to be truly wealthy. One of the images that denote real luxury and riches has to be the sight of those amazing gold items that are so impressive to just look at such as jewellery and art objects. With american silver eagle you can invest in gold bars, gold bullion, coins, silver, platinum and palladium and other products. And, as everyone well knows, investing in gold is generally one of the safest options that will keep their worth in years to come. You can’t really go wrong with gold, that goes without saying.

Generally, it is always a good idea to keep your self informed of the current gold price. Purchasing gold has been recognized for ages and ages as one of the most reliable ways to preserve one’s wealth and buying power. And of course gold bullion is a unique investment. From time immemorial to more recent times, humankind has had an enduring affinity with gold bullion that has truly stood the test of time. In all ages and across the world, people have been fascinated with the beauty and the magic of gold. It makes sense, after all.

Big ships

I missed the Queen Mary II docking in Sydney Harbour. Only days previously I had marvelled with a sense of awe at the sight of the enormous Queen Victoria ocean liner lying tied up at Circular Quay. What a great ship. The sheer size is so impressive. I’ve always liked travelling by ship. It’s just so elegant to glide your way to where you want to go..

The working week

The working week is, once again, over and done with. An exciting week at my new job, I will spare you the details but it has been good and uplifting. I have discovered that a challenge can, after all, be a very good thing all things considered. Of course, once I had knocked off it was straight down to the pub for a schooner. Can you blame me?

Wedding shop

Let’s be honest: who doesn’t get a bit soft at the thought of tying the knot. Is there anything more evocative or romantic that those few words? I don’t think so. I know that I for one really enjoyed my wedding day and that is a man saying this. The day was a wonderful one and I felt really really in love and over the moon at the prospect of spending my married life with just this very girl who meant the world to me.

If you happen to be looking for wedding gifts or bridesmaid gifts then you should definitely check out The Knot Wedding Shop where you will find everything you need and more besides. Have a look for your self!

Funny is funny

Funny stuff is funny stuff. I like the Aussie sense of humour. It is witty and at the same time very robust and down to earth. It has that cheekiness I like in British humour but has added a few direct punches for good measure. Some of the Aussie telly adverts are really funny. Good stuff!

Sport mad

Sport mad. The Aussies seem to be crazy about sports. Any sport, it seems. During the week it is not so bad but sometimes on the weekend all you see on each and every channel on telly is sport. Golf, cricket, rugby, tennis, indoor netball for crying out loud. I suppose it’s just a case of that’s the way it is. Ah well. I think I’ll find a good book to read.

Peter Pan



Peter Pan, that whimsical poetic figure in Kensington Gardens. I had a look around the fabulous statue in the park shortly before I left England. It was a special moment and one that I shan't forget. Ever. It was a magical sort of thing, not easily explained. The picture will have to suffice.
