Just returned from seeing DMB at Wembley. Ears still ringing from the fantastic jamming. Always amused by Dave Matthews and amazed by Boyd Tinsley’s talent. That’s it for shows – no plans to see more NW bands in London

Just a few words about Prague. Stay at the Hotel Josef – it’s centrally located in the Jewish Quarter, with Old Town Square just a short walk away. We were surprised with a bottle of wine upon checking in to our clean, modern and stylish top floor room. And it has [...]

Today we lunched at Ping Pong – a restaurant that we have wanted to try for quite some time. It had been recommended to us by a friend, it’s close to the flat and we love their motto (see post title). We were not disappointed with our lunch.

It’s a bank holiday weekend and, instead of travelling out of the UK, we decided to explore locally. I had heard about an interesting walk on the coast so we hopped on a Southern train and headed to Seaford to walk the Seven Sisters.
