Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013
-
Very much love the updates. When the lovely countryside and "olde British architecture" puts me in mind of Christie/Durbridge, then your nuke testing area series absolutely recalls "The Avengers", one of my all-time great TV series.
Paula & Giles as the denim version of Mrs. Emma Peel and John Steed, now ain't that an idea?
-
LOL, thanks boys! The Avengers brings back so many memories! I think we could swap roles - me as Steed, and G would make a great Emma Peel (can you picture it?)
I know I should post more - must try harder
Anyway, here’s me this evening in the WTs looking at the wisteria outside our house, it’s so lovely.

Am off tomorrow to family in Westgate-on-Sea (Kent) to see German comedian Henning Wehn, promise to post WT pix of my mini road trip!

Yeah, up till now I’ve just seen couple of YouTube vids. He takes the piss out of the English really well, strangely we like that ???
Full report tomorrow!

Great evening mood, and that very stylish arc. Utterly British again, a little like Bath, I find.
Now for that denim revamp of the Avengers. Love the cross-dressing idea you have there, Paula. That does add a somewhat kinky 2010's touch to this vintage Brit TV favourite. How about a Mr. Peel for you and a Mrs. Steed for Giles? I must admit I have a little difficulty picturing Giles as Emma, though her wit and sense of ironic reply he absolutely does have!
-
Ha! That does sound promising. Only I'm not the most patient and persisting of persons…..you would'nt have a more specific hint?

A few pics from my short trip to Westgate-on-Sea, in Kent - family home since I was 11 yrs old. Setting off from Gosport.
Arrived in sunny Westgate two and a half hours later, nice cup of tea then a quick walk down to the beach
Jaz seemed pleased to see me again

Apologies for crap photos!
Drink before the “gig” at Westgate’s tiny real ale pub, which celebrated its first anniversary yesterday:
Just serves real ale and ciders (and pork pies!)
Quirky pub interior:

Tonight’s exciting venue – the Carlton Cinema built in 1910. Seats 300 and was completely full.
Very civilized, they have set up a bar inside at the front of the cinema, on the piano, complete with buxom (and very friendly) barmaid.
This is who we came to see. Was hilarious - we had a great time.

great updates

Apologies for lack of posts but the WT jeans have really done nothing more adventurous than visit the office every day for the past week (oh yes and a couple of exciting trips to the supermarket). We have a holiday weekend in the UK, everyone was hoping the weather would pick up but in Gosport it’s stayed grey, damp and cold. May is a wonderful month in the garden, but the weather has been so grim we’ve hardly ventured outside for the past few weeks. Quick look around today, peonies starting to flower
Pretty viburnum
Wisteria on pergola flowering for first time this year
Some colour in garden, now we just need some sunshine… ::)
-
So, I insisted we did something this weekend to take us away from our laptops for a couple of hours, and this is pretty much on our doorstep
Pic below is of the cosy parlour at the front of the house. Charles Dickens was born in the room above.
Didn’t take long to look round, the house is very small, kitchen/scullery in basement, two living rooms, two bedrooms, two attic rooms for servants (even “lower middle-class" families like Mum and Dad Dickens would have had 1 or 2 servants, because they could hire street urchins/orphans for a few pennies a week :o) Very interesting

Loved the updates with both that classic English garden and female touch, Mme B.!
So now the cat is out of the bag that I signed up for the tour myself. Kept that among a few friends and personal contacts so far.
I'm excited to see FOXY, nemesisnow and corporalclegg on the list as well, all previous leg hosts that I've been in touch with in one way or the other. It's a daunting thought to have to live up to their standards, but when the time comes, I'll try my very best. Since Foxy does appear here in Berlin on occasion, perhaps we could arrange a hand-over from him to me or me to him?
