How difficult is it for everyone to get time off over the festive period?  Absolutely impossible for me >.<  I always look forward to January as I have a full quota of holiday allowance to burn up as I choose.  Well, thanks to Wayno finding extremely cheap return to Rome w…

So the festivus of New Year's in London was pretty much a night of us being completely unorganized and trolling the city looking for food.  Not much different from any other night, you might be thinking, but you would be wrong.  Because it was loads of fun, we ate at this restaurant calle…

It would be easy, too easy, to say that the reason for making my second-ever visit to The Netherlands exactly four weeks after my first was simply to satisfy my craving for stroopwafels. The truth is that my first visit, to the Leeuwarden meet-up, was so enjoyable that the prospect of a second meet…

Ok, so it's not 'technically' a travel blog but I thought I'd upload some pictures taken recently around my home county of Yorkshire.

York by night, another old city with history. In my student days, it was taunted as the most haunted place around. These days, the number of tourists probably scared away those old ghosts. Choose a guided walk or go around on your own. It's a safe place to go wandering about even at night. I got ca…

Trains Booked...So, I booked the train tickets today.  I set off from Birmingham on the 2nd June and should arrive in Penzance late that evening.  I will then have a quick half hour or so ride to the youth hostel at Lands End where I will hopefully get a good nights sleep before the first…

This is quiet a strange and amazing story, I'll be adding more photos and hopefully some videos to over the next week or so. It's a long story so please bear with me I'll keep adding to it when i find the time. Pseudo Nippon is a sort of manic J-POP singer he describes his music as pachinko pop.&n…

English version can be found below! Het was vandaag weer tijd om naar huis te gaan dus hadden we de wekker een uurtje eerder gezet dan de afgelopen paar dagen. Rond acht uur hadden we een taxi die ons naar het vliegveld zou brengen waar we al snel ingecheckt waren en we konden gaan wachten op onze…

It's a bittersweet tradition the morning I leave London back to the States - I'm happy I'm going home but I'm sad I'm leaving London, but I'm also happy this is the day I force myself EARLY out of bed to go walking around London when the rest of London is asleep. So, as per my tradition, I wok…

We had actually bought tickets for this gig way back in march i think it was, before i went on holiday. I'd actually forgotten about it until the tickets came through the door a week before! It was a nice surprise, considering i hadn't been to a gig since seeing Hot Hot Heat, which was just af…

After packing  the bags, and tidying the flat, with the car packed we were ready to go. Well we set off bright and early (well it was 9am) as we drove off the drive and heard Ezri filling her nappy - she knows how to time it!!!  So back on the drive for a nappy change.  All done…

Last night me and Torunn got about 3 hours of sleep in my superb Budapest apartment, as we had to get up at 3:28 to catch the early flight to UK.. What a nightmare....I was taking coffe intravenously , but It had no effect , for the rest of the day I was a walking zombie with bloodshot eyes...…

I set my watch in flight to London time, 1:45 am, and realized it was time for bed.  Of course, my body was not yet ready to sleep.  I met a couple of nice European natives on the flight, Grace (Irish) and Andrew (English).  They were on their way home from New York and Vegas.  …

From London to Bath, then to Stonehenge and Cotswolds, Oxford, and then back to London for more 2 days before going to Scotland. Incredible Edinburgh with all festivals right now in august, historic Stirling, and back to London again. London, the livest city in the world.

We woke up the same way as yesterday. Two little man sneaking into the room and jumping on our bed. It's already our last day in Scotland so we decided not to stay in bed much longer. We wanted to make a walk again and spend as much time with the boys as we can. Thinking of going home again didn't …
