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
I do like a good museum. And the Time & Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth is a very good museum! It’s a great general museum about the history of Great Yarmouth, but it also plays host to some excellent exhibitions. I first went there back in 2011 to see the saucy seaside postcards. This year

Ah you came back for more tales of my Munich adventures. Day two dawned looking all bright Autumn Sunshine, so we started the day with a run by the river. An activity which was suspiciously healthy considering our plans for the rest of the day, because today was the day we planned to visit the
Did you miss me? I bet you never even noticed I was gone. Last week I headed off on holiday, for a trip that we’d been meaning to make for years, to Munich, for Oktoberfest. This is the only holiday that I’ve had this year that hasn’t at least partly contained an obligation for me
This morning I did a blogger thing in Norwich. I get REALLY excited whenever I’m invited to blogger events in Norwich for 2 reasons. One is that I remember back when I started my blog in 2008 I spent some time searching for other Norwich bloggers, and as far as I could work out there
