Overnight we had made an executive decision, we were tired out so we would have just half a day looking at things then chill out. It is supposed to be a holiday after all. And in the event it proved a good move on all fronts. Our first stop was the Agra Fort, at least…
I am determined that this blog doesn’t just become a travel diary, what I hope to do is to describe and comment on things that we do and see here. Our driver was here to meet us bright and early for our drive to our next location at Agra. Fortunately we were going against the…
What can you say about Delhi? Before I even try to answer that let’s see how things are going. Well mostly I’ve been asleep since yesterday. After check in we came up to our suite (sitting room, bedroom with vast bed, bathroom and dressing room), unpacked and fell into bed and promptly fell asleep. We…
Well actually I suppose that it was really Day One and A Half as it started at home on Monday afternoon with the dog gone to stay with Olive and Nelly, the house pimped and polished and all the packing done. So an easy drive to Birmingham Airport and time to kill as I always…

But the mornings get lighter earlier and the sun sets later each week and there are the beginnings of Spring showing in our parks and gardens. Bring it on I…
I am a self confessed news junkie, I always seem to have my nose pressed against the screen of my tablet and I follow a range of trusted correspondents and news organisations around the world. I am also a francophile. I was lucky enough to go to a private kindergarten run by an eccentric couple…
Old Cottage, Weston Village. I’ve been meaning to take a picture of this cottage for some time and have been waiting for a nice bright day to do it. I don’t know the history of the cottage but it looks old and cosy and is almost Hobbit like in the way that it grows out…
