Summer Home

Greg — Tue, 01 May 2012 13:41:56 +0000

May 2012 sees me settling in well in Geneva and working for a client in a lovely office with a view of the mountains…it could be worse! I seem to have escaped the torrential rain and storms in England and have had the chance to get out around the Old Town with my camera…a combination [...]

A return to Geneva

Greg — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:43:57 +0000

Reading back over my aims for 2012, one of them was to visit other European cities. After a busy start to the year at work and lots of partying and socialising with long-neglected friends, I recently got news that I’m being sent on secondment to a client’s offices in…Geneva! Having spent two years studying at [...]

2012

Greg — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:28:34 +0000

So another year has arrived and inspired by various other blog posts on happiness, I’ve decided to make a list of things to do/see/achieve/avoid this year, in the vain hope of being encouraged to achieve them because they’re written down! Note I don’t like the idea of New Year ‘resolutions’ so will avoid such word [...]

Christmas

Greg — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:49:37 +0000

Currently travelling back from a wonderful Christmas up in the Swiss mountains. Thoroughly spoilt by beautiful scenery, lots of snow, awesome skiing and some great nights out with new friends. Bring on New Year’s Eve!

Commuting

[box type="info" border="full"]WARNING: Rant[/box] I've ranted online before about commuting in London and the misery that is 'other people'. The journey to work requires courage, patience, calm and some good humour! As an example let me summarise my 'encounters' this morning plus some handy hints:

A Fresh Start

Greg — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:59:05 +0000

I seem to switch the way I write online and blog platforms fairly frequently, having moved from WordPress to Posterous earlier this year and now back to WordPress again. Anyway, this is a chance for a fresh start coming into 2012, and hopefully a better way for me to share news and photos with anyone [...]

Parliament

Greg — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 22:49:50 +0000

I never get tired of the London skyline, whichever way I look I see something of interest or something new I haven’t spotted before. Coming out of the London Aquarium, I was blown away by a combination of Parliament and the wintry sunset behind it. This photo is currently my iPad and MacBook wallpaper and [...]

St Paul’s Cathedral

Greg — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 22:42:41 +0000

I have lived in London for over 5 years and I had never climbed St Paul’s Cathedral, unbelievable. The climb gave me a whole new perspective on the city I have lived in for the past 5 years!

I’ve rather fallen behind on my posting on this blog (if anybody reads it!) but above summarises rather well a perfect weekend I spent in Switzerland at the end of January. Wonderful weather & good snow.
