Read more "Go West (and South) Day 2"A friend in need is a friend indeed…and if you get a great road trip out of it as well, that is a bonus. My friend Kristen Studard (K-Stud to her friends and anyone else she can persuade to call her that) told me some months ago that she was going to pack up […]
Read more "Go West (and South) Day 1"My family and some of our good friends recently had the pleasure of sailing on a tall ship down the River Thames in London. This is something that one is rarely ever able to do but as part of the Olympic Celebrations that have been taking place all over the capital and the entire country […]
Read more "Tall Ships on the Thames"[Contd. from ‘Boston and Holyoak’] It it is not a long drive from Holyoak to Brooklyn and I made good time. The New York Skyline always takes my breath away a little. Even though I have spent so much time there over the years it is still a sight I enjoy. So much happened in […]
Read more "‘Beer and Back Again’ – The Final Leg – NYC, IL and Hospital!"[Contd. from ‘Motown to Batavia’] I was away from Amy and Daisy’s place early in the morning. I had a 7 hour drive ahead of me to get to Boston. It was boring and uneventful and allowed me to get another chunk of the Game of Thrones audiobook under my belt! I did however pass […]
Read more "‘Beer and Back Again’ – Boston and Holyoak"[Contd. from ‘Motown’] I left the studios and decided to get straight on the road again. After seeing the place where they were recorded I spent the next few hours listening to all my favourite Motown tunes.

Read more "‘Beer and Back Again’ – Motown to Batavia"[contd from ‘Prologue‘] I was up and on the road early to make the hour-long journey East to Detroit.

Read more "‘Beer and Back Again’ – Motown"Prologue This is a story of how I drove from Chicago to the East Coast and back with a case of beer made by my friends, to share with my friends and tales of the ‘stuff what I saw’ along the way.

Read more "‘Beer’ and Back Again – Prologue"Although this happened a couple of months ago now (I have been very lazy with my blogs lately, despite the fact that I have done some amazing things….I will rectify!) I still feel the need to share it. Seven days into an 11 day transatlantic crossing the ship I was on stopped in the Azores […]
Read more "Whale Watching in the Azores"Ok, so i have not posted anything in the last few months. Laziness is only part of the excuse. Living on a cruise ship has its limitations as far as internet communication goes.
