The Shroud of Turin

We were only in Milan for the day before we had to catch our train to Turin late in the afternoon. We were meeting our other friend in a few days but rather than stay in Milan, which I was warned was underwhelming and had to agree at least a little, ... Read more >

I have the flu and the makers of cornishware have gone into receivership. They took the machines out of the factory 3 days before we arrived there. Bath, Cardiff, Stratford, Nottingham and York have been amazing. Derby is not so good, I wouldn't recommend ... Read more >

It took me a while, but I’m finally here. London. My first overseas journey and I’m completely alone in an unknown city. I couldn’t be happier. I throw my suitcase in my hotel room, grab a coat and go. It’s a Thursday night and Euston Road is buzzing ... Read more >

I’ll never forget the last day I was in London. I found myself in Hyde Park on the final rainy day of my vacation. I had no destination in mind, so I chose paths at random. Once, I followed a cute puppy through the paths and ended up at a beautiful pond.... Read more >
