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…

Gearing up for Christmas (a very PS5-y post)
Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the town, every single person was shopping, even the grouse. I love Christmas. I do not love crowds. It’s pretty hard to avoid the masses this time of year when town is packed from the end of November through Christmas Eve. It’s part of the reason I…

Thoughts on a Train
A service of light humour will be available in this post. It’s apt to be more reliable than the train… I am feeling inspired. Inspired enough to kill some time on the journey back from London to Plymouth. Three and a half hours is nothing to sniff at and one needs distractions while travelling in…
