Gold diggers in Sunbury ?

Late Sunday evening, some thieves stole 4 material bags from a small factory in Walton on Thames, just next to Sunbury on Thames.
The 4 bags contains cyanide and is used in some chemical reaction to modify metal. Maybe the thieves thought they could break the ancient secrets around alchemism and start producing gold ?
No I think not. It is just another day in Sunbury.

Struck by disappointment the thieves must have escaped by train from Upper Halliford station, which has been closed today.

Upper Halliford train station is the concrete slap just next to Acergy's office building. So when I say closed, I mean two police cars were parked on the pavement of the walkway leading from the bridge and beneath.

The neighbours grass is always greener

Only minutes after Nicole has landed from her business trip to the ever vibrant New York do we dig out a travel guide from the New York Times, describing how the quality life is lived in the green and peacefull Whiskey Belt, stretching from North Copenhagen and 40 kilometres up along the coast line to Helsinore.

This is the area where I have grown up and I recognise his desciptions very well.

The thing is, having tried that, there are other things here in this world to explore so maybe there is an adventurous New Yorker that want's to swap green card ?!

The photo is of Arne Jacobsen's Bella Vista at Klampenborg. Arne Jacobsen is taken a large credit for the beauty of the design along the coast line.

Finally there was sparetime to look back at the old domain name http://www.copetown.net.

After we've got this blog I have deemed it double work to maintain both the old website and the new blog.

There are significant advantages of the blog as it is easy to update and enables for posting stuff from e.g. work or BlackMail.

The copetown domain name is however Nicole and my personal brand and it would be a pitty not to utilise it. (we still use the personal email accounts and so on).

Now when you enter the http://www.copetown.net domain name, you will automatically be re-directed to this site.

Nicole however liked the rotating pictures very much and hence they have been embedded on this site. Best of both worlds.
