Dad will be so proud...
We figured that Egypt and Australia in the sapce of a fortnight was not quite action enough, so had to squeeze in a weekend in Edinburgh to help Matt celebrate his 40th birthday. Old bugger.

You need a kite in spring
Stephen and Fran excelled and gave me a fancy collapsible aerofoil kite for my birthday. It was just in time for a glorious day at Hampstead Heath last weekend. Tis a beauty.
It is true that the winters here are completely miserable, but it is almost worth it when the weather finally gets good

Egypt!
Hi guys,
Here is a brief selection of Egypt's Greatest Hits. There is plenty more and we will post them as a photo album sometime soon.
As you can see it is fabaruccirama.
Tutankhamun's headress in the Cairo Museum.
Big, aren't they?
Fabulous Mohammed Ali Mosque. It is the size of 8 St Paul's Cathedrals.
Karnak Temple in Luxor is so big you can't even photograph it. See how puny Rich is hidden in this pic.
Luxor Temple aint bad neither.
Hatshepsut Temple... by now we had run out of superlatives.
A detail from inside Tuthmosis III tomb in Valley of the Kings, Luxor.
Old Cataract Hotel, Aswan - according to The Times, this is the 'worlds greatest view from a hotel'. We thought it didn't suck.
It's big, it's amazing, its in Nubia. It's Abu Simbel Temple, built for Ramses II so anyone travelling up the Nile into Egypt would be freaked out and understand who's the boss. 'Look upon my works ye mighty and despair'.
