Travel: New Zealand and how to Hobbit – it’s a shire thing!
Listening to callers on the radio today I heard many folk say they had never been to New Zealand . . . how can that be. So close and so beautiful. This was my first o/s journey in the 70s, and what an adventure. One of the callers today said she wanted to meet a…

Travel: Make mine Marrakech
Marrakech Morocco, it’s bold and it’s beautiful. Colours collide here and eyes and ears are put to an endurance test. Every morning I woke up in the Red City, I fell in love with it, over and over again. The early foreign travellers to Morocco called Marrakech ‘Morocco City’. The city of old has…
