What, never been to Geneva before?

by Barney

Yes, sadly I have to admit it. Before this weekend just gone, I had never been to Geneva before.

Sad, really, to have waited until I am almost 60 to visit such a beautiful city.

To be honest I had no reason to be there other than to accompany Mrs Barnabas and Wendi Momen on a business trip. They were going there for a George Ronald Publisher Ltd editorial/board meeting with May Hofman, with whom we stayed in Le Lignon in the municipality of Vernier.

you bring back such good memories for me. I spent some time in Geneva in 2004, and often strolled by the places that you’ve showed here.The atmosphere in Summer is also really great, electric actually …the concerts in the park…picnics at the lake, sigh, the good life…

I saw a photo with Wendim Moomen, is she a realtive of Moojan Moomen?

Next time we have to met.

If you had pretended to go for backbiking you could say I was looking for troubles.
I won’t forget, there’s only one “o”, otherwise you would say I am a “0″.

They had never met the George Ronald editoral and management team although both have had books published by George Ronald.They were delighted to put a face to the name. By the way I have been to Geneva!!!!!
