Sometimes we feel like a change, we pack our bags and explore our surroundings. Usually we visit either London or places along the M25, so don’t expect anything too exotic here…
How many times have you bought postcards on your holidays and then forgot to either write or send them? To be honest, Rio de Janeiro would have been the most obvious place to buy too many, as few skylines in the world are more iconic, or more controversial: the iconic shape of the sugarloaf, rainforest-covered…
A few weeks ago we had a very special Fiesta Friday: following an invitation by the wonderful Selma, a few of us regulars met up in a beautiful setting just off Regent Street, for a bit of non-virtual fun. I was incredibly excited to meet so many of you in the flesh – reading your blogs,…
As you can imagine, I’m not a great fan of sliced bread, But please don’t dismiss my claim that there is one thing that is better than sliced bread, and that by miles, too lightly! If the whole of Germany goes insane when the first white asparagus of the season appears in the shops and…
Germany is well known for its beers and beer festivals, and rightly so. What’s much less well known is the fact that we produce some really great wines, too. And I am not talking Liebfraumilch here. When I came to Britain for the first time, Liebfraumilch and Blue Nun were a popular choice of wine.…
Can you think of any symbol of man’s arrogance more potent than the Titanic? The sheer scale of it, as well as the decision not to clutter its look with too many lifeboats (or, rather, sufficient lifeboats) because, after all, the ship was unsinkable, all these factors explain our ongoing fascination with the ship. What is less known,…
Have you got a particular place you always think of when talking about food? A favourite restaurant, a particular kitchen, or a shop you went to as a child? For me, when talking about food shopping, I always think of St George’s Market in Belfast, which takes place in an old Victorian covered market on Fridays and…
This summer, we spent some time with family in Germany, in the Allgäu region in the south, a beautiful rural area that is perfect for family holidays. The gentle slopes are perfect for hiking or cycling, preparing you for a visit to the dramatic landscapes of the Alps. I won’t bore you with too much…
Have you ever wondered what the end of the world looks like? The Greeks thought it was beyond Gibraltar, the French experienced it with the opening of the first McDonald’s on French soil, but for me it will always be the post-apocalyptic landscape around Dungeness. The bleakness of the landscape is incredible: you can’t see the…
The English seaside resorts have been in a steady decline ever since the introduction of cheap foreign travel. You can’t really blame people for wanting a bit of sun, a sandy beach and water temperatures above freezing point. The resorts try their utmost to cater for all weather conditions by providing endless indoor amusements (slot…
Today we went to visit our spiritual home, Ham near Richmond, the heart of the German community in London. Many parts of London are colonised by particular ethnic groups, who create their little bubbles of ‘Heimat‘ in the capital. Brick Lane’s Bangladeshi culture has been immortalised by Monica Ali’s novel, but other cultures have put their…
