Quite possibly the most spectacular Guild Hall I have ever seen, in Lavenham Suffolk…
Of Medieval Post Offices and Modern Correspondence Courses
Just popping back to Cornwall today, to take you to the Old Post Office in Tintagel… This traditional Cornish Longhouse started off life some 600 years ago as a Manor house here. You can’t really miss it in thanks to a couple of reasons, its distinctive wavy roof caused by gentle subsidence, and the […]
Sunday Photo – Richmond Sunset
We popped back to our old neck of the woods last weekend to catch up with friends and family… I managed to time a walk over the bridge to dinner with the sun just beginning to go down – you can’t beat a Richmond sunset. I love this part of London.

Surfing with George
I am very much of the opinion that you only get once chance at life. It’s often shorter than you think, and you should absolutely grasp every opportunity you get to see new places, and try new things… Whatever or wherever it is, it might be the best thing you have ever seen/done after […]
A Taste of Cornwall
Mention Cornwall to a lot of Brits, and watch as their eyes mist over with memories of many a childhood Cornish holiday. It is up there as a favourite holiday destination for the staycationers amongst us for so many reasons… Even Mr R became misty eyed when someone suggested Cornwall after a family discussion about […]

A scene from a half term break in Cornwall… Will be back to tell you about it shortly.
