You all know @elaine4queen, right? If you don’t, you should. She’s like the very best thing bout the Tottenham Riviera. She and her dog Poppet are the best hosts in the entire history of hosting. There was even a statue of a goat in our journey. And, as you well know, you can’t always expect… Continue reading time to join the @elaine4queen Admiration Society
Left Hamburg nearly two weeks ago, but I cannot stop daydreaming about it
The first few days in Hamburg were so rainy that when the sun finally came out I purposely went on a walk through one of the nicest parts of the city. Purportedly, there are more bridges in the Hanseatic city on the Elbe than there are in Venice, but I still don’t know if that’s… Continue reading Left Hamburg nearly two weeks ago, but I cannot stop daydreaming about it

not too late in the year to eat out on the terrace
If they write something about me after I’m gone, I hope it at least makes passing mention to my love of autumn. It’s so much a part of my story that I can’t help but get choked up at the thought of it. When I was a teenager, I listened… Continue reading not too late in the year to eat out on the terrace
travelling with Out of True as it was intended
So, one day in the mail, this little green book arrived. Poetry? Who reads poetry these days? Oh, I know. Guy Clark does. He says this in one of my favourite of his songs: ‘Here’s a book of poems I got From a girl I used to know I guess I read it front to… Continue reading travelling with Out of True as it was intended
going home (if there even is such a thing)
This might be a bit strange- this blogpost. Yes, I’m aware my writing can be odd on a semiregular basis, so this isn’t necessarily the most shocking opening gambit, but nevertheless…you’ve been warned. See, I want to ask one of those big questions that blogging really isn’t capable of tackling. This is a novel-sized theme.… Continue reading going home (if there even is such a thing)
belt tightening in an age of exorbitance
I’ve got bad news for my readers. The funds have run dry. I do a lot of travelling, so this was bound to happen at some point. My galavanting has led me down a destructive road. It’ll be resolved, but in the short term, I’ll have to be much more careful with money. Which is… Continue reading belt tightening in an age of exorbitance

Saint George and the dragon
Most of you know the story, but for those of you who don’t I’ll run through it briefly. St George and the Dragon. The English know it. Anyone who grew up in the Anglican Communion knows this one. St George slays the Dragon. Exciting, eh? You probably know a dragon or two from that trifling… Continue reading Saint George and the dragon
up in the Hochbahn in Hamburg
This is a blogpost I’ve been waiting to do until I had enough photos to make it make a bit of sense. Not that this blog always makes much sense. What’d be the point of that? No point, I tell you. Just like other major German cities, Hamburg has both an U-Bahn and S-Bahn system.… Continue reading up in the Hochbahn in Hamburg
