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…

Every Day I’m Travelling
At least that’s what it feels like at the moment. I just got back from Brussels, had a week at home, then headed out to Paris for a week at Disneyland. A Big Old (New) Tent In preparation for our glorious British summer which always provides wall to wall sunshine, we’ve bought a tent. Not…

Brussels 2: Electric Sproutaloo
My time in Brussels was brief but enjoyable. I managed to hit a few of the tourist spots and try some delicacies before making the long journey home again. The tenses are a little weird in this one as it was pieced together during a variety of Belgian experiences. Beer and an Omelette? Yes, you…
