Unusual attractions in rural Northumberland (Rousse)
My father easily parked the silver Ford Granada outside the shopping parade. It was only when everyone got out that I discovered why this particular space was free: you could only stay here for one hour. We would surely need … Continue reading

To St Andrews by tandem to sample the sherry (Rousse)
I had to get to one-day conference in St Andrews where, I was warned, the presentations would be a waste of time, but I could enjoy many different varieties of sherry. TPR and I travelled part of the way there … Continue reading

Christmas plans 2014 (Rousse)
