Filling in the gaps (Part 2)

More fun and games

June/July '07 - Concert fever

Summer is a great time to catch concerts in London, and I was lucky enough to catch a few:

  • Crowded House were fantastic live, even in the pouring rain @ Hyde Park Calling
  • Had to see Bon Jovi in concert at least once...great energy but not enough ‘80s songs
  • Live Earth had a line up including Madonna, Chilli Peppers, Metallica, Foo Fighters; only drawback was poor accoustics in the open air Wembley stadium
July '07 - Album from mum & dad's visit
Had a jam pack week when mum and dad visited with their friends in July at the end of their European tour.
  • Highlights: Holidaying with mum & dad again; Chaminox and Sth of France were a winner (picks courtesy of Alex)
  • Lowlights: Always an ordeal to locate our accommodation; playing tour guide for a group of 10 was getting a bit much towards the end, but still worth the efforts

Amsterdam with the parents…now that’s a first:

Catching the breath-taking views in Chaminox with Mont Blanc a highlight:

Enjoying the sunshine in Monaco & Nice:

Could not miss the Harry Potter settings in Oxford:
