Wednesday Wander – Watchet, Somerset

This little harbour town in Somerset is has neither the fame of San Francisco nor the glamour of Biarritz, yet it is where I’m wandering this week. Watchet is a charming place with an ancient history, situated at the mouth of the River Severn. An Iron age hill-fort nearby, later re-fortified by Alfred the Great,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Watchet, Somerset”

Unpacking

I’m back 🙂 Been back a few days now, not quite a week.

It’s nice to be home, as itContinue reading “Unpacking”

A Weekend Jaunt

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll probably know that I spent this past weekend in Paris. A quick trip, leaving London early Saturday morning and arriving back (late) last night, I went with a close friend from Australia who arrived in England on Friday. And it was wonderful. Paris is one of my favouriteContinue reading “A Weekend Jaunt”
