Live to Kenya

Welcome to Sam's blog.

For those of you new to this particular segment of the internet this blog is a mixture of thoughts and wonderings from my wanderings. And for those of you not new to this blog, its the same. :-)

I am currently on a train on my way to Thatcham- where my parents live. It is quite misty outside at the moment and has been for most of the journey since leaving Newcastle.

I often walk up and down the train and it's very interesting looking at the different passengers, most of whom are reading newspapers. I always think that is strange given the mediums' dwindling popularity nationwide.

The mist outside has taken on a rather red hue now.

Having walked along this train it seems like the daily mail is most popular today. Usually its the guardian!

On a completely different note: what must it be like to be engaged to a royal?!

To be on the front of national newspapers for days on end, see your family tree examined, your school 'friends' interviewed and everything you've ever worn analysed?!

The coverage of the engagement announcement did make me laugh though. "And now we go LIVE to the wildlife park in kenya where the proposal was made". "What's the scene there lucy?"

"Well clive its pretty dark here but thankfully our camera crew are shining a massive light on a tree so you can just about make that out. I'm making my way now up to the ACTUAL rock where the proposal happened".

"What extraordinary scenes lucy."

"Yes clive, and here you can just about make out some markings, scraped into the kenyan stone: KM 4 PW". Amazing stuff. Back to you clive".

"Thanks lucy. Now we can speak to John who sold kate middleton her first goldfish- is that right John?"...

And so it goes on!!

Full scale fog now outside.

Adios.
