Artist Residence Bristol
We’re getting old. We’ve been to their place in Pimlico and now we’re in Bristol. Edgy? Is that a sign of old age? Zoologie in Bordeaux could be similar, if […]

Crinan Hotel, Argyll
It seems a whole lifetime since we were last at Crinan. New Year 2019/20 to be exact, before we knew anything about Covid. Can you believe it? Only a few […]
