and here is Pascale, our fantastic in many ways host, of the b&b we visited in stratford upon avon. he was french and spoke non-stop, about topics from 'our laziness in not walking into town in torrential rain and subzero temperatures' to the usual french sexual innuendo about anything and everything. entertaining character. here with the girls...

we also managed to get away to stratford upon avon, the home of shakespeare the great - and dont the locals milk it for all its worth, which is quite a bit actually. we hit warwick castle which was one of the more entertaining castles u can visit. here is myself about to scare the crap out of lappo....

and the rocks themselves...

so we thought, since it was some of the coldest weather we have had to experience in our short lives, we would go to possibly the colest place in england - stonehenge and try our luck at maintaining a body temperature above 20 degrees. we failed. especially since to listen to the damn toffee english dude giving a digital tour of the site, u were required to keep one hand out of your pocket and hold an earpiece to your head...brrr..

so we arrive back from 35+ degree perth to zero degrees and snow. gallons of it. white gold....

cottesloe beach and lunch...mmmm...

in king's park...

swan brewery, the future site of the Wedding...

Next outside the apartment where beers were aplenty...

Perth was a welcome relief from the perilous weather of London. Hot weather with the mercury reaching 43 degrees during our 10 day stay for the wedding of Cuz Chris and Cuz Chris's formerly girlfriend, fiance and now wife, Chan. Beatiful weather, sun, beach and bikinis. All good. Anyways, gotta be brief, the photos explain the beach at Scarborough, lunching at Cottesloe and dancing the waltz on Wedding night!

ok. its been ages since i have added to this thing. the audience has dwindled i am sure because the show has stayed stagnant whilst the competition (farnsy) has steamed ahead. some drastic action is required to add zest, flavour, spice and balls to the new Monkey Odyssey, and it begins with Perth.
