At the time of tapping this out I’d been living here in Trondheim, central Norway for the best part of 14 years. I’ve now been here nearly 20, and decided to revisit this classic post before I write more on this subject. It’s been quite a roller-coaster ride as most of you know, but during […]
In November I was back in London for the annual WTM travel trade shindig which I have been attending longer than I can remember. Okay, my memory is not that great but it’s been quite a few years, anyway. I always try to book a hotel as close to the venue as possible – which […]

London is bursting at the seams with places to see and things to do, but you still have to eat, right? If you’ve never had a proper English breakfast, then you don’t know what you’re missing – apart from several hundred calories. In the past the humble transport cafe was the place to go for […]
