If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

  • Once More with Gusto (and Games)

    This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

  • Didn’t it snow!

    Here’s a little taste of our time in Paris. The weather outside was frightful. And there wasn’t a fire in sight-ful. Since we’re stuck out-side, oh. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. We spent last week in and around Disneyland Paris and were treated with a rather magical experience on Thursday when…

  • Any Port(o) in a Storm – Port 2

    Let me whisk you away from this wintry British weather to a pleasant Autumn day in Porto. We left off moments away from crossing the bridge. What bridge, you ask? The Dom Luís I, of course. This is the bridge that pops up in a lot of the photos of Porto, and rightly so. It’s…
