Visiting Manhattan Lower East Side & NoLita

Visiting Manhattan Lower East Side & NoLita

New York, we missed you. A post which I call myself lucky to write.

A gourmet tour of South Cornwall

A gourmet tour of South Cornwall

Fish Trio at the West Bay It does not happen often that I spend a long holiday in the UK. And in fact, when I booked an 8 night trip in Cornwall, I was somehow filled with dread. Such a long time without changing currency, without paying overseas roaming charges, without flying but yet, still being on holiday? I did not need to worry.  Despite the logistic nightmare of shipping part of the family there by train and getting there…
