A decent nights sleep was had in spite of a room that was on the hot side, we went out of the hotel for breakfast, to the Hoxton North, next door to the White Hart Hotel. What a great place to spend time, the restaurant was full and the food sublime. Harrogate was an exceptional … More Rugby Road Trip – Day 4 – Alnwick & Seahouses
Those who know me well will notice a change in my standard accommodation pick, it’s hard to find twin rooms in the chains I usually frequent, our first night in a ‘hotel’ was actually a B & B in Lincoln, The Gables came highly recommended. We had a good nights sleep in a comfortable bedroom, … More Rugby Road Trip – Day 3 – Harrogate
Day 2 of our road trip saw us waking in Great Gransden, we’d stayed with my lovely cousin Kate and her other half Giles. We were spoilt rotten, and had our ‘no cake’ rule broken with the warm Lemon Drizzle cake she’d baked when she got home from work. I have no concept of that, … More Rugby Road Trip – Day 2 – Lincoln
With the European Rugby Finals in Edinburgh the temptation to take a road trip with my good friend Monica was too strong!

As my Good Friday went on so the conditions for taking photos deteriorated, so only a handful here. Leaving Tottenham slightly early I took off back along the A406, I saw far too much of that road for my liking! But, I arrived in plenty of time and was able to touch base with my … More Harlequins v Exeter Chiefs
The weekend has run away with me and I’m writing this in Easter Monday after the Broncos have played at Batley and won, with a final score of Batley 4 Broncos 42, an emphatic win on a busy weekend for rugby league! The Toulouse game at the Ealing Trailfinders ground was game 1 of 3 … More London Broncos v Toulouse
And so the County Cricket season is here and Essex are in Division 1! A week after the fact this is going to be photos heavy, but a few words about the match and cricket in general. I have to come back as I add the photos in, I don’t seem to be capable of … More Essex v Lancashire (A passion for the game!)
