During our trip to Melbourne, and the main reason for visiting South Wharf, we had the treat of visiting The Lume – an exhibition centre that was showing an audio-visual spectacular of van Gogh’s life and work. I believe the exhibition has a permanent home there and I do know that it was designed in …
We enjoyed the best seats in the house for Brian Cox’s recent visit to Cardiff – front row – having booked the seats well over a year ago, mistaking the year of his visit (2019, not 2018). The wait was worth it. I could have taken pictures all night but was totally mesmerised by what …
Straight after the trip to Sicily we travelled to Corsica to stay in a villa at Tarcu, just north of Porto Vecchio. The purpose of the trip was to celebrate Peter’s 40th birthday, and the presence of a swimming pool meant we didn’t stray too far from home. I did manage to get up …

I’m really proud of …
Breaking a rule – you’re allowed to aren’t you? Here’s a picture of DeeJay on the last stretch of his first triatholon – he did really well for his first attempt. He knows now he needs to improve his swimming and he’ll be competing well. I suppose having broken my golden rule of not including …
Our visit to Ireland was actually a trip to see Bruce Springsteen at Croke Park on May 27th. Walking around a warm, hospitable Dublin, visiting the Icon Factory again – do got there if you’re ever in Dublin, it’s magic and they need your support – we came across possibly the best busker we’ve ever heard …
Quite spectacular watching these huge boats hurtling round Cardiff Bay.
