Remembering the Admiral Duncan Bombing — 26 Years On

Twenty-six years ago today, on 30 April 1999, the heart of Soho was shaken by an act of senseless violence.

Eurovision 2024 – Ferries from Helsingør to Helsingborg – Trains to Malmö – and Back!

Eurovision 2024 – The Train(s) to Helsingør!

Eurovision 2024 – The Flight to Malmö!

Hurrah! I’m on the plane! Eurovision fans everywhere! I wonder when the crew will start singing EUPHORIA… So far sadly it’s only Ryanair’s abysmal ‘getting on the plane’ music.

Eurovision 2024 – The Road to Malmö.

The things one can do after two hours of sleep! With the National Rail overtime ban (and strike) in mind I’m heading to Stansted by bus. I am so hideously early 😂 I may even have time for a coffee before boarding my bus at Stratford. Eurovision! I can’t wait to get to Copenhagen andContinue reading “Eurovision 2024 – The Road to Malmö.”
