This all started on Monday but it’s now Thursday and the first time that I’ve had access to WiFi that actually works, which is surprising as we’re in a hotel up a dirt track in western Rajasthan; anyway I’m deliriously happy to have it. We left home on Monday afternoon and flew direct into New…
This was actually our last full day at Newlyn and the main event was a good lunch had been booked. After a leisurely breakfast and a dog walking in dry conditions we set off to Porthleven a town a little way round Mounts Bay heading South towards the Lizard. Porthleven is the town you always…
Sorry about the delay in getting the next blog posted, we’ve been rushing about a lot. Day 3 of this year’s Newlyn trip started very dull and damp as Maude and I went for the papers, but just to show that Newlyn is still a busy working harbour, here’s a view of it and here’s…
It’s that time of year again so Mrs Sixwheeler and I are off for our annual visit to Newlyn, right down there in the wild west if Cornwall. For any of you who haven’t been here with us before here’s a little background. Mrs Sixwheeler was born on the Isle of Scilly, an archipelago of…

Welcome to another hot and sunny day in Rome. Today we woke up again with excitement as we are spending time visiting some of the wonderful historic and cultural sites of this beautiful city, and because the Rome Times Hotel is so well placed we can easily do everything we want to do on foot.…
It turned out to be one of “those” nights. A gentle walk from the hotel and back, a nice dinner and an early night, but, before going to sleep I wrote my blog. It was witty, it was erudite, it had wonderful pictures to illustrate what I had said, and… when I pressed the publish…
This year Mrs Sixwheeler celebrates a “Special Birthday”, you know, one of those ending in a “0”, so something special is in order. She has long expressed a wish to visit the”Eternal City” of Rome, so here we are. The only downside has been a long and tiring day, I use the TripCase app when…
