Seagull I went for a photography meetup on Sunday and the trip went to Hasting. Hasting is a about 2 hours from London by train and while it is an ok place with cliffs, fishing boats and of course the sea, I still prefer Eastbourne (Beachy Head) and Brighton. The weather was perfect (my face [...]

Just a small practical anouncement: I am not moving to Notting Hill. I removed the previous post, I am not getting into any details, it is just not going to happen. Not now anyway, I will keep my eyes open for other chances. I bought a new pocket camera, a Panasonic T4. It replaces my [...]

Organic Coke – no thanks No: I am OK with Organic food, but this “Sparkling Delicious organic Cola” is not Sparkling and as far from Delicious as it can be, it is the worst tasting cola I have ever tasted. So that’s a no. Never again. Yuk. Yes is what I said to a Tweatup [...]

Devon Cream Tea in the Wayside Cafe It’s really not bad to spend your 42nd birthday with your best friend in a cafe in Widecombe-In-The-Moor having a cream tea that looked as good as this and tasted as good too. We also visited Princetown which is known for the prison. And if you have seen [...]

Dogs in the rain The view from my B&B room in Weymouth Saturday morning around 8am (yes zoom lens and a room with sea view very close to the beach). It didn’t look very promising so we headed to a cafe for a coffee and the Saturday Guardian. I think the dogs are more depressed [...]

Portland Bill I think it is fair to conclude that the English south coast is beautiful no matter where you go. The same goes for the light houses!

Manx sheep – who are you looking at? I went to Bognor Regis, and I had a good day. Bognor Regis is much smaller and therefore much less touristy than Brighton. The weather was marvellous, and I haven’t done much more than walk to a nearly empty piece of the pebbled beach, sit/lay down, stare [...]

Manx icecream What more do you want me to say? You need to have your priorities straight. Award winning Davisons: The best Luxury Manx Dairy Ice Cream, made on the Isle of Man. You can get them in Peel which has one of the finest Ice Cream Parlours in the UK. Enough said.

Heaven on the Isle of Man Maybe you will understand why I want to go back.

Isle of Man Tomorrow I will leave for a week of holiday to the Isle of Man.

South Foreland Lighthouse near Dover With a long bank holiday approaching last Friday and the weather being lovely, I decided to escape London, again, and impulsively booked myself into a friendly B&B in Dover.

So I took my backpack and discovered that Love never ends A train at 9.47am on a Sunday morning – after a short night and weather that could not be more depressing – demanded a lot of willpower. But I had my book and the prospect of a train trip, and even if it was [...]

London Sink You know I love you I always will My mind’s made up By the way that I feel There’s no beginning There’ll be no end But there’s one thing I don’t understand! Look at this picture. This picture is taken in the toilet of a cinema in Chelsea, but trust me, I could [...]
