KINVER EDGE

I have it on good authority that this is one of the few pleasant places left in Britain. I think the other two are Oundle and York to be honest. Kinver edge is about a 2 minute walk from the street where Pete grew up. The local butchers, bakers and fruit and veg outlet come highly recommended. The free range eggs heighten the already superb taste of the sandwich that is the fried egg.

Attempts are always being made to get me up the hill. Most the time they fail. This time I didnt want to leave.

SACHA's 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY

(Katie, Bob, Matt, Sacha, Angela, Richard, Stephie, Rich and Laurence at the Artful Dodger for Sacha's Caribbean birthday party)

Its offical we're all getting old. But that of course doesn't mean we can't dress up like fools or get ID for attempting to go into one of the most appalling venues in the North of England.

The theme was Caribbean and I would just like to applaud Laurence for the effort he gave his costume. Much though went into that.

Sacha... sorry about texting you about a book on Sunday instead of wishing you a happy birthday!

HALF WAY THERE

This summer has been an absolute nightmare! But for my parents here is proof that I actually do work. This is 40% of my degree and I've just handed it in this morning (all 20,000 words). Only 25,000 more words of my degree left.

In light of recent events I intend to have a good night out tonight... student style (starting at 2pm!).

THANKSGIVING 2005

The first year I have made pumpkin pies. But what will the English think?
