I asked a friend who left his car in my car park if I could use his instead of mine as it was a diesel people carrier and would be cheaper in fuel.  I set off from Wilmslow at around 1.30pm, only had one brief stop and was in Aviemore for around 6.30pm, pretty quick at a steady 80mph.  Th…

Two days after moving into our new home in Brussels and we had our first house guest.

It was really great to see him again and …

We have seen a total of 5 castles now, Edinburgh, Urquhart, Huntly, Lochleven and Sterling.  They are unbelievable, its hard to image something so old still exists!  They are hundreds of years older than our own country!!!  Some are in better repairs than others, but thats besides th…

For those of you travelling to Wales this may be of some interest. The country, charming in itself has enough scenery, activity and natural beauty to entertain any age group. If you are strained from walking some of the tough mountain trails then this may be a plausible substitute. It isn't often t…

As it turned out, flying into London on Christmas day was (mostly) a damn good idea. After half the passengers got off in Singapore, I scored a row of seats on the plane to lie down across. And there were no queues at customs. Surprisingly though, other than a Santa chocolate, I got n…

I woke to a beautiful clear morning in Manchester, I had a quick shower and double checked my kit before I picked up my pack and headed for the bus stop into Manchester city centre.  I was planning on having a full breakfast in the Weatherspoons located close to Piccadilly Station, and thi…
