A walk along the Grand Union Canal
It’s been a very warm and sunny Bank Holiday weekend in London and I managed to wangle it so that I didn’t spend every minute of it working. During a few hours of spare time I decided to go on a 9 mile (15km) circular walk, the majority of which was through parkland and along… Continue reading A walk along the Grand Union Canal
A Cute Salute At Windsor Castle
It’s not often if ever I post anything considered vaguely cute on my blog but having seen this yesterday, I thought it was too good not to share. The footage of four-year-old Marshall Scott who visited Windsor Castle on Wednesday to celebrate his 4th birthday has gone viral after someone filmed his adorable salute standing… Continue reading A Cute Salute At Windsor Castle

Winter sunrise over the Thames
On New Years Eve, I was lucky enough to give a Sherlock Holmes themed walk to a family of four from New Jersey. As I always do, I arrived in good time to have a hot drink and just a general nose around the neighbourhood. Even the very centre of London is a huge place… Continue reading Winter sunrise over the Thames
Barnard Castle and the Silver Swan at The Bowes Museum

A Day Trip To Montenegro & Casino Royale
I’ve reached the mid-point of my week long trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia. Having spent all the previous day out in Mostar, Bosnia I was wondering whether anything could come close to beating that incredible day. With my energy levels still high, I made an early meeting rendezvous with my guide Danijela. I was still pre-occupied… Continue reading A Day Trip To Montenegro & Casino Royale
