How about a post that actually does justice to the title of this blog? I was a little early for my Saturday film and on my way to the cinema I passed The Chelsea Teapot. It is a relatively new cafe (they have been around for 3 months now) and it looked so lovely I [...]

Lawrence – Bill Nighy – The Girl in the Cafe Will she ever stop? I don’t know. I have recently received email from new participants from Spain and the UK, so people still seem interested. As long as she is comfortable traveling, I will let her do so. Several people have written reviews, step inside [...]

It must be a perfect moment to have a post about The Girl In The Cafe on tour, seeing as another important G8 meeting is held in Japan as we speak. Now just in case you don’t remember what it was all about, here is a message from your Uncle Bill, as he can explain [...]

Bill Nighy as Lawrence in the Girl in the Cafe Because he is such a great and groovy and intelligent man. Because it is such an important issue. Because it is so related to The Girl in the Cafe – we do a Bill post. How long has it been anyway! Bill Nighy is currently [...]

Dog in boat, IJsselstein Never before have I been struggling this much to come up with something decent to write here. But in stead of waiting for the right inspiration to strike me, I am now just going to write something just to see if I somehow can get back into the groove. I changed [...]

Bill Nighy – Lawrence – The Girl In The Cafe It’s time for a post about my favourite subject and a picture of my favourite actor. 2 years and a bit on and the Girl has visited 65 people and there is still a queue (9, so it’s now 74 people) for more visits.

Easter in the snow This blog has been neglected pretty badly lately. I will try to get back to the normal update frequency (whatever that is) asap. And yes I do feel quite a bit better, thank you. Back at work now, and it feels like I haven’t been there for 6 months. Don’t know [...]

The Girl In The Cafe on tour While The Girl in the Cafe is about to take off for her first Middle Eastern trip, 3 participants have published their reviews on their websites. Aukje in the Netherlands. Cally in the UK. Mik in Luxembourg. A big thank you to all of them, both for passing [...]

Bill Nighy – Lawrence – The Girl in the Cafe It will always be my favourite subject to write about, and it’s also an excellent excuse to post a picture that hasn’t anything to do with New York. Not directly anyway. Here is an update on the project. The Girl is currently staying in Luxembourg, [...]

The Girl is still travelling, and is currently staying with Andy in Brazil. (Brazil: lucky girl!) Andy is about to send her off to the UK and has just written his review. Yes I know it is in Portuguese, Google helps a bit translating it into some form of English (Babelfish does a much better [...]

Look, you wouldn’t care, perhaps, to meet again But probably won’t. (Send it if you like)

The Man In The Cafe But some of it is. Tea? (Send it here)

The Girl In The Cafe Firstly, a long due update about the The Girl In The Cafe DVD on tour project. The Girl DVD is still touring, and currently on her way to Brazil, Germany and New Zealand. People are friendly enough to send the Girl to the next person, but writing reviews seems to [...]

Two men on a DVD cover I don’t know why it took me this long, I guess because I all the time hoped that it wouldn’t close. That and because I am shy. So I waited for a quiet moment where there weren’t too many people around. It’s more than a year ago, I talked [...]

Bill Nighy as Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe A post very much due (excuses for the wait to the people who have contributed!). First, here is another clip of Bill Nighy’s trip to Tanzania, where he clearly explains why he thinks aid is a good thing, and that it in fact works on [...]

The Girl In The Cafe I received a couple of good e-mails the last few days which is something that always makes me happy. Most of them were related to the Girl on tour which is an ongoing logistic planning project, but if I could do it full time I would quit my job right [...]

Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe The Girl is still touring, she has recently visited Portugal and here is a beautiful review. A big Thank You for that.

New York Love (Written: New York, 33rd St – Picture: New York, 5th Ave) While I drink my Milky Way tea in the Starbucks right beside the Empire State Building (and let’s be honest there are worse places to drink your tea – behind your computer screen at work just to name one) I read [...]

Bill Nighy – Lawrence – straightening his tie This is so true. Despite the fact that it is Valentine’s day, a day single people tend to hate, and I am no exception. And you can keep your cards with “I LOVE YOU”, your Sainsbury’s Taste the difference spring milk chocolates in a heart shaped box, [...]

Business as usual This post has funky music! has a short note about a Dutch footballer recently spotted in Croydon. has a TGITC film review is 100% Bill free. (enjoy it while it lasts is what I’d say). (I really tried)
