Spring Polyester

It’s definitely spring out there today. After an absurdly busy 2 weeks I slept for 10 hours last night and have woken up feeling a lot brighter, healthier and raring to go. I have no doubt that a day glued to my desk will knock that out of me pretty soon, but at the moment

Basel Fasnacht Day 1 – Morgenstreich, or the day I got up at 2am

Those of you that follow me on any form of social media may know I’ve been on a trip. I’m not a blogger that gets invited on huge numbers of press trips, but I was lucky enough to receive an invite from the Basel tourism to go and experience the Fasnacht, or carnival, in Basel. Now, I’ll

This Week I…..

I’m actually writing this before Sunday morning, and it feels like cheating. The reason I’m writing this early is that by the time this gets published I will be in a car on the way to Gatwick as I am off to Switzerland on a press trip to the fasnacht carnival in Basel. I am

The Friday Five

Happy Friday! Today’s blog post is a return to an idea that I thought I might do a lot more regularly back in August last year, and then totally didn’t. The Friday Five is a Live Journal thing that I first found out about via Forever Amber, because I never had a Live Journal. I
