Great to see old-school punk/jazz/experimentalists Blurt doing their thing upstairs at the Dogstar last night.

We popped over to Crickhowell for the day over Christmas and I'd forgotten what an attractive little Welsh town it is. It was unbelievably cold though!

Here's a few photos:

We recently enjoyed a pleasant walk from Broadstairs along the beach to nearby Ramsgate.

We rocked the to the impressive marina but the town centre was a bit on the disappointing side with lots of rubbish 60s architecture.

Some photos from our walk around Broadstairs in Kent, yesterday afternoon. I love walking around seaside towns out of season! 

The weather was really dramatic when we were there - one minute it would be freezing cold and hammering down with hail, and minutes later the sun was out!

More pics soon!

Billed as "an innovative public project featuring a free daily program of events, arts, discussions, musicology and activities," the Treehouse Gallery in Regent's Park tasked itself with acting, " as a catalyst to ignite the collective imagination, encouraging adults and children alike to explore a variety of creative responses to nature."

We're not entirely sure what all that means, but we definitely enjoyed our visit and found it a pleasant place to hang out for a while.

Looking like a road protest site transported into a central London Park, the Treehouse Gallery put on daily activities, talks and workshops, focussed around two large treehouses.

Last winter we paid another visit to Red Hook, Brookyln ? a down-at-heel, former industrial port which was once dubbed the 'crack capital of America.'

Here's some photos I've finally got around to posting up!:

We stayed at Fforest which offers posh camping in the middle of a lovely ancient wood near the lovely village of Cilgerran.

There's some great walks to be had, with the River Teifi offering some spectacular views.

Here's some pics from our recent holiday in south west Wales. I was astonished how beautiful and picturesque the area was.

We had a chuffin' fantastic time and can't recommend the area enough for a walking/cycling and, err, drinking trip.
