Staycations
The reintroduction of the quarantine rule for Spain has reinforced that STAYCAYTIONS are the way forward for UK holiday makers for the foreseeable future.
Who needs to go abroad when we are blessed to live on such an island so rich in natural beauty?

The 5th time since my first visit for the 1985 Milk Cup Final when I was 11 years old and they broke my heart. This time Man City were the opponents in the league cup final.

Guess the UK’s top trending place to visit in 2020
Did you know which city was the only place from the UK to be listed Airbnb’s top 20 trending destinations to visit in 2020?

Load of Bollocks
I’ve always fancied writing a blog.

Finding my Feet Again
I missed the kids.

Which was just after the war ended.
She had raised her family here with her husband Reginald Rust Bissett!
And the locals here make fun of English names!!
(Another) Englishman in Aberdeen
I came up to Aberdeen the week before Christmas in 2001.

Lockdown Benefits…
The human impact of the pandemic is horrendous, clearly but considering the self isolation aspect alone, pun intended, I have enjoyed the lockdown so far.
