A Walk In Hulne Park, Alnwick
Introduction It was raining, but I thought that I needed to get out and get some fresh air this morning, so I thought I would walk around to Hulne Park and take a very short snoop around and see what there was. My friend Julie had told us that this was the Duke of Northumberland's "back garden" but when we went it was shut. It is maintained by Northumberland Estates and you can read about it here.

Wandering The Streets Of Glasgow
Introduction I spent four days in Glasgow in Citizen M with Fiona for a break from everyday life and work. I often go to Edinburgh but this was the first time in Glasgow for a very long time. This is going to be a very haphazard piece with random observations and photographs (do we still call them photographs?) from the time I was there.

Malaga and Marbella, Spain
In 2004, I took the opportunity to visit Girona and Barcelona, Spain. I returned to Spain with my wife and daughter almost twenty years later. There were two motivations for visiting Spain this past August. First, my daughter missed the beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast, and Spain's Costa del Sol region met her wishes. Second, my wife and daughter both took DNA tests, and the results showed, like mine, that most of our ancestry came from Spain and Portugal.

The Enigma of the Amazon: Why No Bridges Span its Mighty Waters
The Amazon River, an iconic representation of South America's wild heart, is a subject of both awe and intrigue. Stretching over 4,000 miles and touching six nations, it competes with the Nile in its sheer majesty. But a peculiar fact remains: while the Nile is dotted with bridges, especially around Cairo, the Amazon stands untouched. Why has mankind not spanned this colossal river with bridges?
