Today Liv and I had an eventful day when we rented a car for a week and drove down to Herefordshire. I lived in Herefordshire, first in Whitchurch, then Ross on Wye and finally Hereford for 11 years and wanted to show Liv where I had lived and effectively grown up. We drove down in [...]

Birmingham is one of my least favourite cities, as everyone who knows me can tell you, but there were still a few places that I liked which include this area near Brindleyplace.

Along with Shanghai I really loved Xi’an. The weather was fantastic, the city is beautiful, generally speaking the people are quite nice and the food was really good there (especially on Muslim Street). During our stay in Xi’an, where we stayed for about a week, we went to see the Terracotta Army, which is quite [...]
