And again these proud people who have been occupied and reoccupied by invaders and hostile political forces on countless occasions have risen up against their rulers to claim back their country for themselves. About 250,000 people […]

My regards to Broadway
Apropos nothing really, but here’s a selection of piccies from the Broadway stars whom Universal Studios brought to the American Travel fair just for our lunch entertainment over the last couple of years. In a really tangential way I got thinking musicals when flagging up Aer Lingus’s offers www.aerlingus.com… see Flyday Friday. And then I […]
My weekend with Marilyn
Goodbye Norma Jean! So, this is where Marilyn finally found her rest from the lascivious attentions of the manipulative men who hounded her to her death.

Many pilgrims continue by foot from Santiago to Finisterre. Wendy and I, or Waspwoman as you will know her from our Camino adventures when I accidentally swotted a […]
