A Last Hurrah For The Last Frontier Day 1
As is often the case before a trip, I slept in stops and starts. However, thankfully I always fell back asleep very quickly. At 05:00, I knew that I was done. I played my game on my iPad for a while. When the alarm went off, I had a quick shower. While Graham used the bathroom,…

A Last Hurrah For The Last Frontier Day 0
When we came home from Singapore in November, we faced the reality that we had the longest period between two trips since things started to get back to normal after the pandemic. Having very close to a full 6 months between two trips did not fill me with joy. However, the time passed with alarming…

The Mystery of the Golden Telescope and Other Adventures Day 3
We were up at 08:30 again. We got up, ready and headed downstairs for breakfast. Graham had a mix of cornflakes and muesli with milk, a banana, natural yoghurt with berry compote and a cooked breakfast. He also had milk coffee and a couple of glasses of orange juice. I had muesli with almond milk,…

The Mystery of the Golden Telescope and Other Adventures Day 2
I had set the alarm for 09:00, but we were awake around 08:20. We got up and ready. Then we headed for breakfast. It was pretty busy that morning, but we managed to get a table in the main breakfast area. Shortly after we got there, they started to send people to the overflow area.…

The Mystery of the Golden Telescope and Other Adventures Day 1
It was time to pack my trusty backpack once again. This was the trip that we had planned while we waited for our train at Norwich back in February. It ended up being a week later than we had planned and it had evolved a little from its original plan. However, I was good with…

A Collaborator On The Road Again – Day 3
We were up at 08:30, got ready and then went downstairs for breakfast. Graham had fruit, porridge and a cooked breakfast washed down with coffee and apple juice. I had granola again. They had no almond milk that day, but it tasted just as nice with ordinary milk. I had a regular yoghurt, and a cooked breakfast.…

A Collaborator On The Road Again – Day 2
We woke up at 08:30 and things looked decidedly dreary. I was not too alarmed as the weather forecast had said that it would rain overnight and things would start to improve after 09:00. We got ready and headed downstairs for breakfast. Breakfast was not a huge affair, but we most certainly did not go hungry. Graham had fruit,…

A Collaborator On The Road Again – Day 1
This was our second mini break in February and the excuse for this was much the same. I had a ticket for Collabro’s cathedral tour. This time the venue was Norwich Cathedral. As this is infinitely further than Lichfield, we made a weekend out of this. I had to work until 17:00 and then I…

A Collaborator On The Road
This was the first of two mini trips in February. With a six-month gap between two holidays, anything that would break up this period was very welcome. Back in the day when I still watched TV, I would occasionally watch Britain‘s Got Talent. In 2014, I was absolutely captivated by a group of five young…

Living Our Best Life Crazy Rich Asian Style – Day 15
All good things have to come to an end. This day marked the last day of this trip. However, as our flight was not until the evening, we still had things to look forward to. My rather cynical wish that the wet weather would put a damper on the activities at the beach clubs appeared to…
