One Man's Notes

Fourth country of the day: UK, France, Belgium and now the Netherlands. 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇧🇪 🇳🇱


This chap does not look happy.


Maastricht station is quite something.


All Change

Chasing at Liège-Guillemins Railway Station in my way to Maastricht. I love the mix of classic 70s orange on the train, and cool white modernism in the station itself.


Heading for the continent on the Eurostar.


Quick change…


A decade since I last celebrated her birthday with my Mum. It does get easier, but never easy.


Easter Adur-side Pub Walk

For the first time in what seems like weeks we had some lovely weather yesterday. I grabbed the opportunity to walk with the girls up the Adur, on the riverside walk which is temporarily open during a lull in the flood defences work.

We had a really lovely lunch at the refurbished Amsterdam pub. Once the river walk is permanently open again. I foresee us doing this a lot more often.

So, here’s today’s interesting thought: I’ve been using FeedPress to track my number of RSS subscribers to OM&HB. However, why am I bothering? What action have I taken — or could I take — based on that information that would be useful?

I don’t have a good answer.


Finally. #spring

Spring has sprung.


I suspect this is a particularly British thing - and especially Radio 4 listeners - but I really want this print.


March in 1 second every day.


I’ve found my band name.


Got the wok out and did a stir fry for the first time in an age. Thankfully, the girls ate it…


Open RSS reader. First screen is mainly obvious April Fools. Close RSS reader.


Flood defences looking good.


Editing photos from last summer is making me excited for this summer’s return to France.
