Keep Calm!

[https://i0.wp.com/stuartlennon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/qtq80-pcfT7B.jpeg?ssl=1] Every time I think things are calming down… Sterling is down, the FTSE is up, consumer confidence is up, no down, no it’s… “HARD BREXIT!” “Boo! Soft Brexit!” “Wait! No Brexit.” I do wish that

Back in the real world

Weary, both from the walk, and a long wait at Bilbao, I was ready for a lie-down. As I emerged into the arrivals hall at Heathrow, I was met by the four ladies in the picture and their banner. The grown ups are Kate and my wife Margaret. The wee

Bilbao

The Loose-head has made it to Bilbao. Faced with a 5 hour wait for the tight-head, I headed into downtown Bilbao for a mosey around. With luck, we will have a post Camino lunch here next Saturday. What a charming place it is. I have been taught by the best

Entente Cordiale

It’s National Poetry day here in the UK and the Tight-head has come across all lyrical. ‘Agincourt, Waterloo and all the rest; not to be trusted, the French. Garlic-eating, cheese-munching surrender-monkeys, The French.’ Germain, Jean Christophe, Franck and Laurent are French and yet, THEY are the ones walking with
