Bunny Abroad

Hopping to Holland…

…and then to Friesland, Bunny had some great working days in Sneek!

Amazing drive along the Afsluitdijk, view of IJsselmeer…

Sneek

Trying the perch

Fancy some sweets?

About last night…

Seeing as bunny went through a phase of reading absolutely everything he’s ever written, it is hard to believe that I missed John Irving’s Last Night in Twister River when it was published last year… However, devouring the novel I found myself transferred back to familiar territory in New Hampshire, with all the usual references; wrestling, strange relationships, failed marriages, the fear of losing a child…the characters and the plot were still sufficiently unique to keep me enthralled throughout. Good old John

Squirrelus Norvegicus

The Norwegian red squirrels are not as tame as their English grey cousins…they are however a lot cuter

Bunny had a fab holiday in Norway

On the Oslo fjord - island bound…

White wine at the cottage

Canoeing…

Picking arctic cloudberries

Over the moon

…on my way to holiday in Norway…

Lyonaise Bunny

bunny — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:40:32 +0000

Little did Bunny know, that so soon after er visit to Dijon she would spend another random day at Lyon airport…well, at least it was sunny

I feel the need….the need for speed!

Finally, the part that Bunny was waiting for at the Farnborough Air Show…the Red Arrows.

Airobatics

More to see at the Farnborough Air Show. Bunny loved the Blades and the Red Devils too…

Up in the Air…

bunny — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:45:05 +0000

Taking helispotting to the next level, Bunny spent the day at the Farnborough Air Show. To my great amusement, my mates were the most fascinated with the A380…what is it with boys and the size of toys, hmmm….?

Battersea nights

bunny — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:36:35 +0000

After a week of late night socialising AND full-on stress at work plus long days of shopping for Kitty, we opted for an easy outdoor dinner at Battersea Rickshaw on the Square. Enjoyable Indian cuisine, and the waiter and chef did their best to adhere to Kitty’s dietary requirements. Arriving quite late we were probably also the last guests to leave, well, what can you do about those late night licences….?

Westfield life

bunny — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:56:50 +0000

So, Kitty dragged Bunny over to Westfield for dinner and a movie…part of the story was that Kitty had been shopping there all day and refused to leave. Well, was fun seeing Bridges Wharf from the river – on the overground bridge – and we had a surprisingly delicious Malaysian meal at Jom Makan before seeing Inception, which was fab (and Bunny is not a fan of Leo)! A good night out – and we caught the last train back with seconds to spare

Imperial bllsht!

bunny — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:40:42 +0000

Bunny has just finished reading Bret Easton Ellis‘ latest; Imperial Bedrooms, and is just happy that it was fairly short. Easton Ellis is still going down the route of meaningless indulgences and violence, it has however lost the shock effect from his previous work, like American Psycho and Glamorama. Even the autobiographic reference to Less than Zero and his wink to Elvis Costello seem a tad desperate. Maybe it’s on purpose…

Except from recognising some of our hang out spots during my latest visit to LA I found it less than thrilling. Maybe I am getting jaded too. I do however still snigger slightly thinking about an ex-boyfriend who dutifully called me from a party in Easton Ellis’ showroom flat in NYC…he had been instructed to check out the bathroom for any incriminating evidence. And found a wrench under the sink. Hardly very exciting

Warning…

bunny — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:18:57 +0000

London beware…

tomorrow Kitty is arriving with an empty suitcase and some serious shopping plans

Still a Battersea Bunny…

bunny — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 16:46:33 +0000

Bunny still loves her area…

White cloud and white wine at the Riverfront

Birds on the Thames…not sure what kind tho…

My balcony…still worth every penny…

Somehow absolutely no helispotting today tho…

Battersea Square

Nighty night…

Canals and rhubarb

bunny — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 23:00:33 +0000

Another trip to Skipton…playing it safe staying at the lovely Herriots again…and watching the World Cup canalside…not bad for a business trip, really…

Tourist Bunny

bunny — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:52:42 +0000

Bunny’s family came visiting…a great chance to revisit some of my favourite sights in London…

Grand Canal Swan

bunny — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:27:44 +0000

No, not a pub…just another random sight in Dublin…

Random things in Dublin

bunny — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:16:16 +0000

What are the chances of running into a Norwegian brass band on Merrion Square…?

North Yorkshire again…

bunny — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 19:50:45 +0000

Another trip to Skipton….staying in the lovely Herriots Hotel once again and also having a lovely dinner at the Angel Inn in Hetton.

Bunny can’t get over the difference in view from her normal place of work, overlooking Gatwick Airport, and that of the Gargrave office, with bunnies running on the lawn…

Mustard and creme de cassis

bunny — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 19:31:34 +0000

On her way back from Geneva, Bunny visited a friend in Dijon. I realised that it was 20 years ago that I was last there, how strange. I ha forgotten how pretty the town was, but reminded while walking on my way to Primtemps des Liqueurs at Lejay-Lagoute. The rest of the weekend sort of passed in a Kir Royal induced haze…good times
