NEWS, FOOD AND PEOPLE
By Bill Ranken, Sydney, Australia.
 
We’ve been to some marvelous parties!
 
I will attempt to keep you in touch with what’s in, what’s out and who's who in town.
 
I haven’t yet been to the opening of an envelope yet, but I prepared to open one that has an exciting invitation. Mind you I did once go to the opening of a door but that's another story.
 
Older I may be but not yet jaded and am for ever wondering into the night looking for yet another event. Sydney is the party city and on the social round I could attend anything from a boxing match to the opening of a bordello and in between the occasional glamorous soirée with the A-list!
 
Over the years, I have seen many of the high flyers come crashing down, only to raise phoenix like some years later with another new exciting venture.
 
Fortunately Sydney still produces numbers of glamorous and beautiful people, sprinkled with visiting superstars. Which makes the Emerald city still one of the most interesting spots on the planet?
 
My equally enthusiastic social snapper associate Jon Lindsay will also out and about seeking the in crowd wherever they hang out.
Kind Regards,
Bill Ranken
