A few weeks ago I was able to enjoy a holiday which began with a Sunday off. This particular Sunday was truly a ‘holy day’ which was part of a ‘hol-i-day’. On the Saturday, I driven away from what had been an intense few days. A set of circumstances that had left me aware that... Continue Reading →

It's hard to tease out what is an actual memory from what you've been told or what you saw in a photo. But I think I've thought of two very early memories... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I visited Portmeirion with some friends. It took me till this morning to work out what I didn't like about it. In case you don't know Portmeirion is a village constructed on a private peninsula overlooking Traeth Bach tidal estuary in North Wales. It was built by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis to show how... Continue Reading →
As promised here is a quick summary of 'how' I set up this bike ride and it is also an award page for all the lovely, lovely places and people I found to visit, meet, eat and stay with.
