Sunset Bay, San Fernando, Philippines

This was taken from the beach in front of the Sunset Bay Beach Resort, which is in San Fernando, about 4 hours drive north from Clark/Angeles.

There is something very civilized about taking a chair down to the edge of the water and watching the sun go down with a beer in your hand. It never gets boring.

This was taken at the memorial for the Killing Fields in Cambodia in 2002. I think the picture says it all.

Lunch – Cottage Pie

One of my favourite dishes to make. Cottage Pie. Personally I prefer Shepherds Pie (with lamb) but the better half does not like lamb so this is as close as I can get.

I also like to reduce the filling when cooking until the sauce is very thick. This means it does not run out into the dish once you start taking chunks out of the finished pie, but becomes nice and gooey when you mix it up with the mash potatoes on your plate.

A great British dish which, if well seasoned with fresh herbs and a generous splash of Worcester sauce, never fails to satisfy.

This is a picture of my Grandfather parading up Wong Nai Chung Road before the second world war (center, on horseback). He was stationed here with the British Army for about two years.

My Grandmother gave me this picture. You can see Happy Valley Race Course in the background.
