Not Nottingham

With a little bit of research, we've been able to make travel days into highlights for the boys by taking routes that pass child-friendly attractions and scheduling our journeys around them. Even a quick stop for petrol part way to Scotland provided ... Read more >

Thank you everyone who took the time to comment or email - I will do my best not to sound too pompous, though I'll struggle. Anyway I'm back in Paris now, after nearly a week camping in the forest of Fontainebleau in a trip in which so much went wrong ... Read more >

Stood on Nelson’s HMS Victory in Portsmouth today. Such a good day on the harbour and by the seaside. Ticket to see the HMSes and their museums and have a harbour tour was quite good value. I pretended I was in Hornblower...truth be told that I was Hornblower ... Read more >

Birmingham, undiscovered for years, until a recent expedition from the Dr.Selfridge and his team, has opened up this unusual diverse culture. Different people. Strange uncatologued wildlife. Alien architecture. A land of many gods, Birmingham hopefully ... Read more >

Aberdeen. The Granite City. Scotland’s third-largest metropolis. It has many names, but there’s no denying there’s only one Aberdeen. With its roaring nightlife, vibrant history, and long promenade, there’s no denying this city ... Read more >
