And another wonderful Edinburgh visit sadly reaches it’s end, although the leap from Leisurely to BusyBusy after nothing more than a brief train ride, a latte and a poppyseed muffin came not unsurprisingly as something of a shock to the system. I did eventually have to give in and let it all catch up, the [...]

Well time to pack up and I am happy to report that my Glasgow trip has been lots of fun, at least in the impromptu mini-break sense of the word! Having followed a visit to the Gallery of Modern Art with a pot of Darjeeling at the Charles Rennie Mackintosh-designed Willow Tea Rooms before spending [...]

Hallowe’en and Bonfire Night are out of the way, and since this means we can now legitimately start looking forward to Christmas I have today celebrated, by getting started on the first of many mince pies and organising my appointment times over the festive period – anyone who was planning a visit, do read on!

Now there’s a sentence you don’t write every day. My travels this week began on Wednesday with the early train from [...]

First, to briefly return to last week’s topic, requests have been made for a picture of SAAFE ‘s award; I do have one with the three of us in attendance but whilst Anika Mae does have face pics, the lovely Cassie does not, and to be honest I am loath to crop her off (my [...]

I write today courtesy of the newly-discovered free East Coast wi-fi (which some may suggest ought to be treated with suspicion following the laptop-mangling/annihalation disaster which concluded my last London visit), on my journey home from the notably snowier than usual city of Edinburgh where I have been elegantly residing since Sunday, and feeling rather [...]

As the meterological chaos of earlier in the week fades away, it is probably futile to speculate on the prospective fortunes weather-wise for the coming few days! As it is, to those who have had to postpone their much-anticipated visits – rest assured that when you eventually can journey to Scarborough without the potential shame [...]
