Teenage criminals target Sainsbury shopping trolleys in Gateshead (Rousse)
Poor Darren had his work cut out on the Customer Services counter at the Gateshead Sainsbury’s megastore. His queue grew longer and longer as I explained the whole sorry tale of my purchases. I had selected a mix of groceries … Continue reading
Midges put off move to Lochinver (Rousse)
TPR and I took temporary accommodation in a Lochinver hotel. It wasn’t very suitable: whenever the tide came in, our room was flooded with sea water and the occasional fish; the bathroom was barely a cupboard; and poor security encouraged … Continue reading

Super-friendly furry animals, early blooms, and stolen chocolates (Rousse)

Viking ship spotted off the Isle of Lewis (Rousse)
On a far northern shore of the Isle of Lewis the locals built a snowman – the size of a house. They saved it from melting over the summer months by topping it up with ice from their domestic freezers. … Continue reading
Scottish island cycling skeleton surprise (Rousse)
Cycling in the Scottish islands in May is always a pleasure with the lengthening summer days and low likelihood of rain. However, it is not so enjoyable when your wheels take you over a massive seaweed-covered midden where the skeletons … Continue reading
Weymouth from air and shoreline (Rousse)
The flight was not full so we all had plenty of space in the cabin. TPR kept switching seats, mainly for the best views from angle of the plane. When I saw Weymouth from the air for the first time … Continue reading
Distracted by next season’s fashion must-haves and Harry Potter in French (Rousse)
At the height of summer I was living in North Berwick and working in Edinburgh, desperate to finish the data analysis and write-up of my second PhD. On the days that I couldn’t cadge a lift along the by-pass with … Continue reading
