Tubby Hayes - 'Grits, Beans and Greens'

Gone but not forgotten - a new release from the late great Tubby Hayes in definitely one of my albums of 2019.

Walking the Amalthea Route on Crete

The seven kilometre walk from outside my favourite hotel on the north coast of Crete - the Aquila Rithymna Beach - is one of the most beautiful routes on the island.

Starting straight after breakfast meant I missed most of the heat of the day, and enjoyed some spectacular views. Along the way, I met some lovely people, too.

A blast from my parents’ past

Today’s visit to Duxford’s Imperial War Museum was surprisingly enjoyable, especially as my parents discovered the type of plane that brought my Dad home from his National Service in Singapore.
    At 87, this was a great reminder for Dad of a significant part of his history, just before he met Mum in 1952.
    We had a pleasant day, wandering around the various displays at Duxford in the sunshine.
    It’s always good to explore new places and my parents are ticking off places they’ve always wanted to go and never made it.
