Upcoming: Where are the Joneses's Events

Many people ask me what my brother Wim is really like – I tell them this: He’s a magician. Not in a rabbit-in-a-hat/dove-down-your-trousers way – in that he makes the mundane magical.
This morning he noticed I was bilious and handed me milk of magnesia – not in a glass but an ornate fez.
Love & Light,
Dawn x

A celebrity sibling, well at least in Germany. I still can’t work out if that’s a wink or a tick.

I’m never sure if an isolated car park is the ideal place to meet a stranger.

I love sauce. Ask anyone. Last time I did a big shop, I bought pickle. I knew then that condiments would play a key role in my life. I love being proved right.
Love & Light,

I’m not sure I could handle being famous, with my face up everywhere and everybody pouring sauce out of it.
At best, I might be able to handle renown, like if I got a role-playing supplement published. Fingers crossed.

If Ian hadn’t have bought those trousers where would we be?
A kind twist of fate – yes, but I’m not sitting next to him in the car if those trousers retain their charge.

The experience with Bibi has taught me a great deal.
From this day on I will genuinely value and celebrate my freedom.
I will begin by having a facial, a large gateau and watching Braveheart dubbed in German.
Love and light,
Dawn x

Clothes make the man.
Although ironically most man’s clothes are made by women and children in hot countries nowadays.
Still I find catalogue shopping easy and convenient.

Documentary tip #4
- A Documentary film maker is sometimes denied entry.
- Improvise - always carry radio mics and get a great visual.

I’ve done many things in my life but I’ve never judged a book by its cover. I hope you won’t either - you’ll miss out on some top reads.
Love & Light,

NB - When I wrote this originally, I meant book as a metaphor for person/stranger. Looking back this is also good advice when taken literally.

Unbelievable.
Those flip flops have been through a lot. I’ve been wearing them since Paris. I nearly lost one rummaging for cardboard in Bilbao. Carston spilt paella on one. They got all oily on the beach in Termoli. They have run, jumped, clambered and clung to places I never thought I’d even walk in.
I don’t know whether to struggle on with the left one, or let that go as well. It reminds me of my Dad Who Brought Me Up when my Mum died. It looks forlorn and brave and broken all at once.
It seems wrong for them to be apart.

My last memory of riding on a ski lift didn’t have a happy ending.
1989 - School trip to the Isle of Wight to see the Needles, I saw it as a perfect opportunity to ask a girl out. When she declined we spent the remaining 15 mins in silence.

I’ve been on the funicular railways up Hastings and didn’t enjoy either of them.
But the nice lady said that this (http://www.zinkenstueberl.at) was like sitting in your front room watching a massive 3D TV show about mountains with the sound turned down.
We’ll see.
