In John Denver’s immortal words, our bags are packed, we’re ready to go… but there’s a very important task to do before we leave…yum cha! For all of its woes, social media is a wonderful […]

2019 Day 126 – Churchill War Rooms
With a relatively simply agenda, we have a welcome, slightly later start to the day. There are only three things to achieve – the fulfilment of a wish, lunch and a visit to the Winston […]
2019 Day 125 – Houses of Parliament
It’s quite extraordinary how many things there are to see in London when you’re not feeding squirrels on a daily basis. Meanwhile, I’ll probably be on a squirrel black list somewhere, shunned for neglect of […]
2019 Day 124 – London Meanderings
With our freshly minted book on the UK to hand, we’re trying to explore parts of London yet unseen. I will confess to a well ingrained habit here, of shopping + squirrelling = whole days […]

2018 Day 127 – Homeward bound
And so it ends. After 127 days, it’s time to go home. England agrees, it seems. In the precursor to Storm Diana, it’s absolutely bucketing down, rendering visibility down to a few metres. Squiz is […]
