Seriously though, if this all goes wrong, you never saw me here. 😁
After you've seen the Eiffel Tower & stood in line at the Louvre, why not head to a waterside terrace and spend an afternoon sipping craft brews? 🍻

I've got just the spot, and you can hear all about it👇.
Or wherever else you get your podcasts.

Visited that Avebury Stone Circle earlier this autumn.

Heard it might be 'better' than Stonehenge because you can get up close to the stones.

Not picking sides, but there's definitely a vibe here. And a pub, they've got a pub in the middle of the stone circle.

I gotta get to this Luxembourg 🤦‍♂️
You really need a 3D model to understand Luxembourg’s hills, gorges and fortifications!

My first-ever trip to Europe was in November, so I've got a nostalgic soft spot for visiting around this time of the year.

But that's not my only reason for saying November is the new shoulder season, I promise.

I always find an excuse to cut through York Station.

The Victorian architecture and departures board with names like London Kings Cross & Edinburgh make the atmosphere special. Oh, and there's a great pub called York Tap.

Don't ever change, York Station
