So What's New?
Have 'Blog' Will Travel
Living abroad can bring many new experiences that are often worthy of comment so I have started a blog called the 'Perpetual Expatriate.' Take a look and if you feel inclined to respond to it, please do. I welcome feedback.
During the past twelve months I have written many articles for the website Geneva Lunch The site is an English news and information site for the Lake Geneva region.
July 2007
In July I wrote about seeing Van Morrison, Solomon Burke, Candy Dulfer and Seal in concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival
June 2007
Other articles have ranged from interviews with local radio presenters on World Radio Geneva, to the retirement of the headmaster of the Geneva English school “End of an Era”
I wrote about the half price Swiss train pass and whether it was worth purchasing and I covered “Neighbours Day“ in Nyon.
I also wrote about an innovative new idea called idrate
This is a project to encourage everyone who can to drink more water, whilst helping those in the world who don’t have enough water to drink.
Geneva Lunch goes from strength to strength with more visitor numbers each month.
April 2007
In April I covered the International Documentary Film Festival (Visions du Reel) here in Nyon. See one of my reviews on the film “Manufacturing Dissent - Uncovering Michael Moore" or a review of Sonic Mirror, a superb film about the world of rhythm with drum legend Billy Cobham.

February 2007
My blog is now on the "Guardian Abroad" website
There are some interesting and amusing expat blogs on there. My favourite, under 'most original blogs,' is Blogzira
November 2006
I am now writing for a new community website here in the Lake Geneva region called Geneva Lunch.
On it I write about local issues and contribute to the Friday interviews. I also have another blog on this site called “Notes from Nyon” the town where I live.
As Michael Schumacher is retiring just a few miles down the road from Nyon, my latest blog takes a a wry look at the irony of where he chosen to live. Read it to see why! It’s called 'Life for Schumi after the chequered flag has gone down for ever.'
