Big trip to Oz: March 2015
Last month we were in Australia. It wasn’t a big trip by some people’s standards but it was 3 weeks, we haven’t had a 3 week holiday for ages, and it was Australia which is a long way away. We went to see number 1 son who’s a police officer in Fremantle.

Cambridge buses and the Oak Bistro
There’s an app you can get in Cambridge to tell you where your nearest bus options are and to plan bus trips across the county. It’s a bit clunky and it doesn’t seem to include the guided bus so I don’t use it much but it does tell me that from where I live it’s…

Orchid, Cambridge; 29 Aug 13
There was a knock on the kitchen window at 0625. Good friend Tony Halls (owner of Anthony’s, the excellent menswear shop on Trinity Street) was picking me up and we were off on a gentlemen’s day out. Of sorts.

Bath time: 12-14 Aug 13
Monday 12 Aug 13: Lots of what the government does puzzles me and it was the same for those which have gone before. And what it does with the railways puzzles as much as any but it’s a result of new rail franchises that I was able to travel in style to Bath without breaking…
