The Seven Dwarfs and Pollen in the Air
For many years, my wife has said that when I went to Anfield, she wanted to be with me (for background, see here). She has long maintained that the tiny fragments of my soul...

Liverpool Gallery
Liverpool is not the most photogenic city we’ve ever visited and Saul is not particularly fond of “snaps”, especially when he’s in them. But if you like photos of ridiculously happy football fans, this...

Football is the most important of the least important things
Warning to non-football fans: I’ve tried to minimise the football content in this post about football. My wife says I have failed dismally. She is right. I am not sorry. I consider myself a...
Cuban Countryside Gallery
After leaving Havana and with the security of an experienced local driver, Saul and I tackled a fairly ambitious route around Cuba. Although we visited not just small towns, but also many of Cuba’s...

On travel
We often get asked what it’s really like to travel the way we’re currently doing, for 5 months at a stretch. As I’m writing this, I am sitting at the kitchen table in our...
Vancouver Island Gallery
Before we started plotting this trip, I was unaware of the existence of Vancouver Island. So in case you’re in the same boat: it’s a Pacific island off the west coast of Canada (accessible...
