It appears that the Napa Valley got all the best marketers in California! Livermore is about the same distance south-east of San Francisco that Napa is north-east but seems to get very little press.

Wow, Greek food! I just love it! Great quality ingredients, simple cooking methods, so much flavour – every meal in the Greek Islands is a treat! A bit like Italy it can be hard to find bad restaurants as they simply don’t survive when the standard is so high. Lovely Paxos is no exception. There […]

Rimini was established in 268 BC by the Romans so there is a lot of Rimini history. However, it has gone through considerable […]

Ottawa destroys all the cliches of a boring national capital. This thriving and vibrant city has a fantastic food scene, a brilliant outdoor lifestyle (even in the height of winter!) and so much to do!

I am sure that Verbier Switzerland also looks lovely in the winter. But let’s face it, white can be a bit one dimensional! Particularly when compared to the stunning rainbow of colours that is the Verbier summer! From the insanely beautiful and green of the Swiss Alps to the flower baskets throughout the village to […]

I absolutely fell in love with New Brunswick in Canada. I spent 8 wonderful days in this stunning Canadian province. Every day I saw fantastic and photogenic sights, ate fantastic food (and at least one lobster roll per day) and constantly encountered some of the genuinely nicest people I have ever met! My trip took […]
