Hönin was also said to be a witch who met regularly with a dragon. For her neighbours, her economic…

It’s only a flesh wound

Monty Python notwithstanding, the legend of Arthur, king of the Britons remains an enduring, fascinating and unresolved story.  Dozens of films have been made, and yet, his legend is still shrouded in uncertainty.

I did it . . . high…way.

The United States of America was one of the first to develop cross-country, high-speed motorways.  Coast to coast, the country is 2800 miles wide / 4,800 km.  It traverses flat land, challenging mountains, vast oceans and scorching deserts.  Kicking off in 1947, the highways are still impressive, but are showing their age.  That being said,…

Eat as the Norfolk do

Virginia, USA, is not always at the top of travelers' lists, and that's a shame.  One of the oldest states in the US, it featured heavily in the shaping of the country. Norfolk, Virginia is a city on the water, but never watered down. Built on character, by characters, they're a melting pot of people,…
