Loving London

Had to fetch my new Irish passport today and found myself with a few minutes to kill in the "posh" part of London - Knightsbridge! Popped in to HRods (or "little Dubai" as I call it) for a sandwich but balked at the price of a 'pain a fromage' - I think they had me down as the young, svelte Sheikh al Mangani!



Luckily I was NOT mistaken for a Middle Eastern zillionaire, and didn't get into a Bugatti Veyron and drive off either - damn!


 

Thought I'd do a bit of shopping - I'm looking for a set of "his and hers" runabouts and found this lovely pair - what do you think? Tracey's is the green one!


I did consider a new 'pad' in posh Londinium and had a choice of the Candy Brother's One Hyde Park (glass not class!) or something more genteel in Eaton Square with it's own little park!

Choices!!! You've got to love London...

Powwowpat hits the blogosphere!

Time to stop talking and start doing! I keep telling all the "young guns" around me that they need to be blogging - so now it's time to practice what I preach.  I'm now in the blogosphere!

Why living the dream? Simple. We all aspire to great things - personal development, happiness, success, the list goes on. To me, it's about the journey through life and where YOU think YOU ARE at any stage of that journey. It's about being humble with your success, but striving for more; respecting and encouraging those around you; having time to help people that need a little (or a lot) of help; making a contribution to our society and having time for those close to you including yourself...

Well, I'd like to think I'm in that place - living the dream. It's by no means perfect, but it is so good!  God-willing it'll stay that way...
