I wrote up my notes sitting in Rasputin's, the Russian restaurant in Swaffham. I did the 13 mile walk – the last 3 miles were very difficult indeed. At this time, it seemed very unlikely that I would be walking anywhere on the next day. I was also listening...

So, I was awake early and indeed the rain had set in. The day was miserable, gloomy and grey. The forecast, according to the BBC, was that it would clear up later on in the day. I certainly had no interest in walking through the rain. At about 10, the...

I woke up much later than usual – about 6:15. After sorting myself out, tidying up and so on, I was on the road out of Wokingham at about 7:30 and arrived at Thetford Station at 9:50. As expected there was a taxi driver who took me to Knettishall Country...

I turned up early for Sunday as travelling to Kingston was difficult because of the Hampton Court Flower Festival, and to allow me to have something to eat before the scheduled 2pm start time. I was expecting a full day – three of my very favourite bands...

When I woke up and opened the shutter of the hotel room, the sky was gloomy and grey – a contrast to the blue skies of the previous days. We left the hotel at 9 the following morning. The door of the hotel led directly onto the street. Cars and scooters...

I slept well again last night. I fell asleep very quickly and was awoken by someone wheeling a trolley along the corridor outside my room at some ridiculous time of night. Checking on just how ridiculous – 10:30... Anyway, I was soon asleep again. The...

I woke up at 7:30 in a very cold hotel room. Fiddling with the contraption on the wall convinced me that it was an air conditioning unit and had no ability to make the room warmer. The hotel floor was tiled, which would have been lovely in August, but...

I decided to go away for the few days between Christmas and New Year. In the past few years, I have worked these days, but this year I decided to take the time off, and fearing that I would just end up doing nothing, I decided to go away. I also invited...
