On the drive back to Stoke Farm, we stopped for dinner at a quaint old inn down a twisty, winding, hilly country lane. Navigating these lanes by car, so narrow with the highest of hedgerows, was an adventure by day; a real challenge by night. The lanes turn and twist, with often on...

I found a two-lane road, broad shouldered as a Nebraska farm girl, lined with historical markers and tall yellow flowers on scraggly stalks, not quite black-eyed Susans. Having spent much time over the past seven years seeking out and exploring our nation’s historic roadways, such as the...
Within the Ukraine windy flats arc spread along more 800 km of shares, mainly on the Northern part of the Sea, between Bakal Spit and Dnieprovskiy Liman (Fig. 1), and many other limans. It was due to the noticeable differences from other regions that this part of the shore was ...

The farm buildings he describes as “dilapidated”, are now transformed into a ‘shoot’ venue for the rich and privileged. The countryside he walked through to the east of Torquay is countryside no more, smothered by post-war development. And whilst I have not investigated changes to Cor...
Food and wine enthusiasts flock to the Comox Valley farm region, while the more outdoorsy types get their fix along the remote, forested beaches of North Vancouver Island. Visit the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve at Clayoquot Sound and you’ll return full of cocktail-party factoids. Read more ...
We had arranged to stay with my aunt at Blaen-Y-Cwm for two nights, and it was so good to see the farm again and show my friend all the places I had explored in the past. My Aunt fed us so well with food that replenished our spirits, as food in 1939 was rationed and not ver...
The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There ...
