La dolce Vita di Mr Henry
The Institute’s 2018 Italian job: Rome, Naples and all through the Apennines by train and bus, ending up in Venice but starting in… China, where else? Plugging Ashtrays of Tuscany, by Mrs Henry.
Mr Henry annexes Sudetenland
A 2017 Institute factfinding mission to the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland. Sudetenland? Not really, but sounds good. Smoking lady? The interbellum, but could also have been taken in a bingo hall in Gympie.
Mr Henry hops it across the Nullarbor
A factfinding mission by campervan in 2015 across the Nullarbor to Western Australia, which every now and then vows to split from Australia. How Australian is Western Australia?
Go West, Mr Henry!
At a 2013 séance, Horace Greeley spoke to Mr Henry: Go West, Mr Henry, go West. There is health in the country, and room away from our crowds of idlers and imbeciles. A US road trip.
Mr Henry is staying put
Except when he isn’t, but he is in this blog. Strictly Australia only. No bloody abroad, as one poet put it. Or, as another had it, Die Ferne sind im Herzen, which sounds better and even great in German. Log on the fire in winter, turning up the aircon in summer. Home, sweet home.
