We arrived midday on Wednesday 9th May to a sunny Sukosan. The drive through from Slovenia to Zagreb and down to Zadar was an easy breeze. We found Deja Vu II waiting for us on her cradle in the compound, ready antifouled and polished. Nigel had a list of jobs that seemed endless, aContinue reading “Getting the boat ready”

Dispatch to Agent Billy from N
We are concerned that once again your seduction technique has caused problems with female agents. I understand that your Welsh female contact has reported an assault by you in her bedroom despite earlier amorous advances by you. You have been warned about this behaviour before and I insist that you maintain cordial relations with theContinue reading “Dispatch to Agent Billy from N”
Lublijana – what a gem!
We are a bit behind with our posts, but we did arrive in Slovenia on May 8th and headed for the capital, which Nigel had visited some years previously on business. We stayed in a charming boutique hotel in the old town, the temperature soared to mid 20’s c, and we spent a fantastic afternoonContinue reading “Lublijana – what a gem!”
Billy reports back to M (&N)
Report 1 to Controllers M & N As requested we have infiltrated the friendlies in Wales and established base camp codename AGA. Initial reconnoitering in the field has confirmed that there is a serious threat from BUNNY with destabilisation of infrastructure and environmental damage including a threat to human food supplies. We started training theContinue reading “Billy reports back to M (&N)”
A visit to Sunbeam
The Sunbeam factory is located North of Salzburg at Matsee, which is an impossibly pretty Austrian village on a lake which appears to be populated entirely by ducks and Sunbeams. Factory visit was interesting to see where the craftsmanship and attention to detail make Sunbeam stand out. Pleased to hear that the new 42.1 isContinue reading “A visit to Sunbeam”
A day in Salzburg – The Sound of (water) Music Tour
We made the right decision to take the funicular railway up to the high point of the castle first thing whilst the sun was shining and the sky was blue and we were rewarded with stunning views of mountains to the north, east and south and the rooftops of the city to the west. TheContinue reading “A day in Salzburg – The Sound of (water) Music Tour”
Run Rabbit Run
The latest message from Wales: Billy’s sickie now a thing of the past. Daisy still v busy doing nothing although seemingly driven by hectic schedule. Team psycho still diagnosing dodgy attention span. Oh well. Great news. The motivational video worked. 1900hrs and resident staff having dinner … Billy appears in training room with catch ofContinue reading “Run Rabbit Run”
Billy takes a sickie
Er … yes, about the Q&A session. Daisy’s 1st Q was: “where are we and what are we doing here?” Explained that Captain Cuthbert and Midshipperson Mo were off on the high seas. She and Billy were here to help us deal with the glut of rabbits in our fields. But … training came first.Continue reading “Billy takes a sickie”
Konstanz to Salzburg
What a difference a day makes! We were woken by the torrential rain and it was not about to let up and with the rain came a significant temperature drop. We wanted to stay in bed but Salzburg was beckoning. Fiona had trouble with the first part of our journey as it involved a ferryContinue reading “Konstanz to Salzburg”
St Amarin to Konstanz
Fiona excelled herself and we have made her a permanent member of the team, but only on the understanding that her proposals are vetted before we set off and she does a bit more training with postcodes, not her strength, but we can’t be good at everything. She usually puts forward three options for theContinue reading “St Amarin to Konstanz”
