Today I’m going to post about a few friends and their sites. Kathy and Sharon are currently travelling the world and they have a travel website detailing their adventures at http://www.ksrtw.com. Their travels make our little trips seem insignificant by comparison. A sunset cruise photo from Cape Town with Will, Maria, Kathy, Sharon, Keryn and […]
Tom Yorke – The Eraser
As part of promo activities for the new Tom Yorke solo album a mysterious cut out of a man has been appearing on London streets this week. I set out to find him at lunchtime today, guessing that today he would show up in the vicinity of the Gherkin building. My guess proved correct and […]

Wireless and TNT Photo Awards
On Thursday afternoon we attended the 2nd day of the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park. This was the first proper festival we’ve ever attended in this country, which sounds a little strange considering at the concerts we’ve been to over the years. Anyway we went and it was fun, the only pity being the weather […]
An Unfinished Life
I’ve mentioned before that we get to see quite a few free movies through our subscription to The Times newspaper. This weekend we saw “An Unfinished Life” staring Robert Redford, Jennifer Lopez and Morgan Freeman. I have to say this is the best movie I’ve seen this year and possibly in the last few years, […]
Keryn won something!
Landsecurities is one of the sponsors of the Open Air Theatre in Regents Park and every now and again they’ll give away tickets for an upcoming production. Keryn entered such a giveaway and we found out yesterday afternoon that we had tickets for the evening showing of ‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream’. So we went and […]
A busy time
This week we’ve been up to a few different things. On Sunday we met up with a friend from work and did some photography tutoring while walking the Thames South Bank. That evening Keryn and I attended a concert and Cara Dillon was amazing, better than the previous few times we’ve seen her. There are […]
Elephant in the rain
Undeterred by a bad weather forecast we headed into London yesterday and spent a good six hours wandering streets trying to second-guess where the Elephant and Girl would be going and also where we could find a way through the crowds of people. I’ll have more photos up tonight, for now just the one of […]
Wow
More photos of the Sultan’s Elephant activities from today can be found in the Gallery, click on the image below to see more. Ollie and I went down to the Horse Guards Square and watched as the Elephant moved around entertaining the growing crowd. We then walked up to Waterloo Place to see the open […]
The Sultans Elephant
Over the next few days in London there will be a rather strange visitor walking the streets of Westminster. The Sultans Elephant is street performance on a grand scale, you can read more about what’s happening here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2006/05/03/sultans_elephant_qanda_feature.shtml. Today a strange rocket has been found crashed into the street of Waterloo Place. I went along […]
A new feature – The Gallery
From now on all of the photo galleries that appear on this site will be part of the 2kiwis Coppermine gallery. I’ve uploaded photos from our recent trip to the Peak District, Manchester and Yorkshire and they can be found here: https://2kiwis.nz/gallery/ It is still a work in progress, I’ll have more links and more […]
More Moors and Dales
So today we have some more photos from our trip up in Yorkshire. This time we have a different Abbey, a funny looking bird and a spring display in York. Photos at Rievaulx Abbey Checking out Ethel the White Headed Vulture at the Falconry Centre Spring alive and well outside the old town walls of […]
