Got a rather pleasant surprise this morning when I stumbled across my own name when I was researching a wine maker!

Completely forgotten I’d tasted her wine never mind written about her which is the advantage of leaving a paper trail!

Absolutely tremendous comeback for Scotland to win against Greece.
Delighted that Lewis Ferguson scored his first international goal. The Bologna midfielder has one of the best in his position in Italy over the last couple of years.

An English railway oddesy... Italian train vlogger & influencer Ivan Maggini visits Britain's railways... Oh dear.
After a shaky start it turns out some British train trips are as quick as Italian ones, despite slower trains...

“Stealing childhoods” is a very apt description (though I wouldn’t necessarily limit it to social media but smart phones and electronic devices in general and it’s not just children impacted either!)

Same in Sevilla. No neighbours = no neighbourhoods.

“The historic center of Naples is dead. Those streets aren’t neighbourhoods anymore. There are no Neapolitans left, no real life left. They’ve become playgrounds, open-air shopping malls.”
