Locanda Cipriani, Torcello
We’re on an Italian refresher course (well, one of us is) cycling around the Veneto to the west of Venice. We’ve done this cycling thing before, down the Danube from […]

CB Inn, North Yorkshire
Before we head off to the sunshine in Vietnam and Cambodia [why?…have you seen the sky in that picture?…ed] we’ve had a couple of walks, terminating in Yorkshire’s remote pubs […]
Tan Hill Inn, North Yorkshire
If you’re old enough to remember the Everest Double Glazing ad, featuring Ted Moult [who??…ed] then the Tan Hill In will be familiar to you. But, in all likelihood, probably […]

That’s to give it the full title, by the way. Notting Hill is the hip place man – as we like to say up in Yorkshire. Well, it is for […]
