Travel bites: a few days in Lavenham, Suffolk

Travel bites: a few days in Lavenham, Suffolk

*** updated 2019 *** It is no secret to those who know me well that recently London has become a little unbearable for me.

A meal at Bala Baya, Southwark

A meal at Bala Baya, Southwark

#TheLongWayHome part 2 – Going back

  Day 1: Barletta – Silvi – Spello – Assisi, 490km All good things must come to an end, or so they say. It was time to come back to Blighty for the last leg of our summer road trip. We packed up and left a sunny Barletta on a monday morning, hitting the motorway almost immediately, still surrounded by olive groves, bright sun shining above us and the Adriatic sea a constant and distant companion to our right. Motorway…
