Just thinking back to 2021 before we reach 2022. It has been a very varied year that started with another lockdown and working from home continuing. Hannah joined us last year for New Year’s eve and then flew back to Israel just in time before the skys were shut again. We managed a few weekends […]
On 19th February (a month ago) I took the train to London to meet Barrie for a long weekend to celebrate being together 9 years. We stayed in 3 hotels, went to 2 theatre productions, Hamilton and School of Rock, saw friends in London and even managed to have lunch with my brother in […]
We woke very early to take the 7.30 Clipper from Seatle to Victoria. The departure point was not far from the hotel but we called an Uber to make it easy to get there. The ferry was full but we found 2 seats by the window. Having not yet had breakfast we were […]
We had booked a civilised 11.30 am flight to Seattle. The flight’s scheduled time was under an hour so the plan was to arrive mid day, get lunch and exlore the Seatle local area. We departed for the airport at 9.00am and by 9.30am had returned the car and checked in for the flight. […]
Sunday evening was Rosh Hashana (Jewish New year). To mark the occasion I planned a nice meal for us. To obtain all the necessary ingredients we headed off over the bridge to a area we had not yet explored that has some Kosher shops. I had found a few shops on Oak street so […]
We left Kamloops after a tasty breakfast at the Comfort Hotel and headed to the mountains. Barrie had found us a route to take with 2 short walks. Our first stop was a short distance from Kamloops by the lake where we stopped to admire the scenery in the beautiful weather. After taking in […]
After our first 2 days in Vancouver we headed off for a little road trip. Our first destination was Kamloops. The drive took about 4 hours which we split into 2 section. Not long along the route we spotted in the opposite direct a convoy of one 100 lorries and later found out that […]
After a nights sleep. We woke to a sunny day. Hannah had classes in the morning so we arranged to meet for lunch at the university. The university was about 5km from our apartment and as the weather was lovely we decided to walk there via the beach. The walk was lovely and […]
And away we go. Our flight departed a little late due the security incident at the airport that delayed some of the crew getting to the plane. Our Air -transat fight was a comfortable 8.5hrs during which we settled in our seats and watched endless film. The food was the normal airline quality with a […]
We like to fly from Manchester as it is only an hour drive from Sheffield and car paring it not too expensive. Having got the train to Manchester from the local Dore and Totley station a couple of weeks ago for a work meeting I realised how easy it was so decided that it would […]
