St Cuthbert and a staircase (Rousse)
I had heard of people trapped in lifts, but what about trapped in a staircase? The irony was that I had told skinny June in the high heels that I was taking the stairs because it was safer. I was … Continue reading

London to Oxford and Oxford to Edinburgh by train (Rousse)
It really was too much to ask my 81 year-old mother to walk all the way from London to Edinburgh, so I suggested that we cut a few miles off the route by taking the train to Oxford. In the … Continue reading

From Chad to Croydon via Disneyland and Australia (Rousse)

Quad on the Tyne – with David Tennant (Rousse)
My mother took up observing the wildlife of East Lothian in the dead of night using infra-red technology. She invited us to join her one evening. David Tennant turned up to wave us off – my mother on a quadbike, … Continue reading
Teenage Geordie steals a snog and credit cards (Rousse)
I arranged to meet my niece at the top of her University of Newcastle hall of residence. To reach her, however, I had to climb up a huge tower of open IKEA kitchen drawers crammed full of utensils. The only … Continue reading
A secret phone, a hidden four poster bed, a hard-to-reach dinner venue, and prostitutes (Rousse)
