Broadgate of a weekend is quiet as the city workers are resting which means visitors can navigate the pavements and stop and stare at the amazing buildings where old meets new at almost every corner. Liverpool Street Station might not be quite as big and grand as Waterloo or St Pancras but the Victorian style building […]
Every cloud has a silver lining, my existing carrier connection had been missed due to a late take off at Heathrow but we were transferred to South African Airways to complete our journey to Cape Town. Despite the heavy rain and grey clouds outside we were treated to a warm and sunny welcome from the […]
Over the last few years every time I have had a couple of spare hours on my own in London I promise myself that I will visit The Chelsea Physic Garden but life and other London activities have got in the way and I have only just got round to banking that promise. I am not […]
My recent stroll through Belgravia, London threw up St Peter’s Church. I always feel especially smug when I come across something new in the capital.

In addition there was plenty of space under […]
Mary Quant……synonymous with the sixties , with London and with that sharp hair cut. She of the mini dress and wet look macs. The exhibition was cleverly curated in a series of shop windows. A huge amount of exhibits and plenty of easy to read information boards. Writing was large enough for the middle aged ladies […]
There is never enough time or money to spend when travelling and my visit to South America was no exception. With just two weeks and the desire to see Rio and Iguacu Falls at the very least I found my plans forming to fly into Buenos Aires and returning via Rio ….this is how the […]
