Renewable Energy & Sea Change

Hi All,
Well this blog greets you from a new area of East Anglia. We have left our fabulous first week hosts for a sea change. Yes, we've adjourned to the shores and riverbanks of Felixstowe Suffolk an area surrounded on three sides by two rivers and the ocean. We were welcomed last night with a very nice BBQ where 20th century technology was actually used in the form of a gas powered BBQ with real Australian name 'The Outback'. And a sensational banquet it was too.

The move signalled the end of our first chapter, and what a great chapter it was to experience. No effort was spared to ensure our cultural and vocational experienced were maximised. As Julia said, our climate change day was full of information - actually it was a bit like trying to drink from a fire hose on full throttle, I got a bit but alot whizzed past. I shall be referring to Jennifer's copious notes that she took during the day - Jennifer perhaps you will be kind enough to share your notes with everyone??? It shall be fascinating!

But the trophy for the best listener will go to the person who can tell us the occupation of Dr. Keith Tovey's father and what energy saving device he was responsible for establishing? This man was a master story teller and should you ever get the opportunity please ask him to relate one or two (particularly about the responses to earthquakes in Hong Kong), however set aside a few hours for the response - no detail is spared! Thankyou Dr. Keith and the Norwich Club, a cracker of a day!

Talking of renewable energy, we're starting to need some after the packed first week agenda. I'm finding rejuvenation in the form of countless public houses that offer a range of lagers and bitters in lovely BIG glasses. And it is true - the POMS drink hot beer! Apparently the enjoyment of the cold frosty nector of life (beer) is sacrificed to maximise the flavour - a flawed argument in my opinion so I have stuck to the lagers.

Anyway, we are off for an 8-9 mile walk today to absorb some country side (and lager) so must fly. Talk soon.
