We’ve been to many islands in the Caribbean, we even got married in St. Lucia, but none of them held more of a surprise than Jamaica. Extracted from A Pat on his Back Tom Kane © 2014 Are You Holidaying Mad? For once the sun...
The small town of Margaret River has a lot to offer, the surrounding countryside and beaches are very beautiful. But that’s not all Maragaret River has to offer as it’s also famous for it’s wines, beers and spirits, sometimes...
It’s the end of the hunting season and we can look forward to the summer and a bit of peace and quiet… no sooner said than we seem to have had an all out war declared up the road. With what sounded like machine guns blazing followed...
There’s a saying, apparently attributed to Aristotle, “one swallow does not a summer make.” Well, our last summer came early then as I’ve seen three swallows today and even had one in my bungalow. Just as I was finishing a...
