A wedding in the north Lake District (Rousse)
The Cumbrian pub just off the M6 was crammed with wedding guests. They queued everywhere – for their room keys, to use the bathroom, at the dining room door at breakfast etc. The low bathroom to guest ratio meant that … Continue reading
A regenerating man in Highland holiday accommodation (Rousse)

Butter rent and Alice the drunk in medieval France (Rousse)
I arrived in medieval France very late for the third year of my degree programme. All of my fellow students had arrived on time and already found cheap accommodation. I pitied them, sleeping sardine-fashion along the gutters of the village … Continue reading
Seeking student accommodation during a pandemic (Rousse)

A coronavirus lockdown bike ride to Luce (Rousse)
The building work at the St James Centre finally complete, our flat on the ground floor of John Lewis now had a big picture window that looked out on to a massive plaza. Of course, a corollary of this was … Continue reading
All migrate to Aberdeen (Rousse)

Sunny South Shields shelters skiers (Rousse)
We were travelling to our Alpine ski holiday on an early morning flight from Newcastle airport – as, it would appear, was half the population of the north east of England. All the airport hotels were fully booked, so we … Continue reading

Last minute accommodation in Glasgow (Rousse)
The timing of the AGM at midnight assumed that all participants were also delegates at the conference with overnight accommodation booked in Glasgow. This was not the case for me and CW. We had travelled over from Edinburgh for the … Continue reading

A work weekend in Winchester (Rousse)
The work trip was a long weekend in Winchester. Our accommodation was so meagre that I was forced to sleep in an indoor cave squashed between two of my reportees. One complained that I sniffed and blew my nose all … Continue reading
