The Waterfall Train

The Waterfall Train

When we visited the Argentinian side of the famous Iguazu Falls, I didn’t pay much attention to the little train which took us there from the Visitor Centre, 7 km. away. I didn’t even find out its …

Just seen an ad for the new Lavazza Tabli coffee machine. Does this mean the charity shops will be full of Tassimo and Nespresso machines?

Boondoggle!

Boondoggle!

Don’t you love it, when you come across a word that you can sort of roll around your tongue and savour, like good wine? Having discovered it, though, it’s a much harder task to work it into an ever…

What Is It?

The other day, someone posted a picture on Facebook. ‘We found this when we were clearing out my late Grand-dad’s things. Does anyone know what it is?’ I knew. ‘It’s called a hedgehog’ I replied ‘a…

Back from Tunisia

Back from Tunisia

Probably the worst part of travelling is arriving home afterwards, and having a whole pile of mail and dirty washing to deal with. There was email to catch up on, too, because, although the hotel h…

Butrint

A Happy New Year to all my readers!  Butrint: 15th October 2017 I am surprised that, although it’s a National Park, and has been inscribed as a World Heritage Site, I’d never heard of Butrint befor…

Towering Dubai

Dubai: 12th February, 2011 I’ve often wondered which came first, the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth or the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai. Even Wikipedia was inconclusive on this; the Spinnaker Tower w…

The Search for the Stepping Stones

Avebury, August 3rd and August 17th 2009 We took our visitors to see the ancient stones at Avebury. The site has changed little since the last time I visited; just the sheep-droppings are a little …

More Street Art

I can’t think why I never noticed this before; I’ve passed this place several times. Maybe it was painted recently, or maybe I just didn’t notice?

Bethany Winery

Barossa Valley: 28th April 2012. When we’re buying wine at the cellar door, I often wonder how much the setting of the vineyard or winery affects our choice. After all, if the soil and weather cond…

A Visit to Grumpy’s

When I blogged about Australian beer last week, I neglected to mention the excellent beer brewed by a micro-brewery in the hills behind Adelaide, which we visited in 2006. It’s near Hahndorf, a vil…

Looe: Things Ain’t Wot They Used to Be

Looe: 6th June 2014. I wonder if I was thinking of somewhere else, for when we arrived at Looe, it was nothing like the charming village I remember when I last visited 30 years ago. Then, it seemed…

Reindeer Ride

Alta: 23rd March 2013. The reindeer ride wasn’t quite what I expected. Certainly not the snugly-wrapped jaunt of Christmas cards, with mince pies and a slug of glühwein at the end. Or Santa’s laden…
