Golf


I'm thinking of taking up golf again. I'm pathetic at teeing off and my long shots are neither long nor countable as shots really, but I'm not a bad putter and think I just need to apply myself.

I may go to Golf School at the Moore Park Golf Club. Not as chic as Royal Sydney Golf Club but much, much less expensive ;-)

Deco Melbourne


The National Gallery of Victoria is hosting the V & A's Art Deco exhibition until October. Absolutely worth the trip to Melbourne, a city with much Art Deco history of its own.

Norman Holiday


Audrey Hepburn's was Roman, mine was Norman.

This is the Manoir de Petagny at St Julien sur Calonne, near Pont L'Eveque in the Calvados region of Normandy. The adjacent Laiterie (Dairy) has been transformed into a four bedroom holiday gite (cottage) that sleeps nine. Your neighbours will be Simon Groom and Karolyn Thunnissen, their teenaged children, and a herd of white dairy cattle. It is available for weekly rent and is highly recommended.
