Did she have you stay in the shack, orthe house?

We spent most of the time in her house in the Rockies, near Banff, and at the 'shack' at the lake a bit further south.

It's a completely different life out there if you have the money. I am guessing Gen would say the same of Australia. I see the quality of life in UK in a more realistic light now I think.

Yep.

I love the uk, but the quality here certainly doesn't come from what you can buy with your money. As it gets more and more celeb-y a lot of the an other worthis diminishing too.

All in all, atm i still want to be here, but the argument for staying is considerably lesser.


We'll see though. Who knows what the future brings?

Yes, I thought you wouldn't approve.

The really amazing thing is that I heard no hint of embarrassment in the shop assistant's voice when she gave me the figure.

Well, the bronze bits could be quite easy.... it's just a bit of metal, shaped how it is..... just have to think about the opening and how the light will fit/stay in it.... casting is the easiest way to achieve them. Have one made up exactly how you like .... then have 100 made by casting.
Then, get a little electrical man to fit it all together, fit the fixings and sign it off.

Raw bronze material cost, estimated .... £10-20..... £50 tops.... anyway... cheap.
