In which I dash to Barcelona and back in a day, deal with arctic temperatures in Warrington and plan a visit to Japan based on my mispronunciation of a city’s name. All travel adventures can be found at www.mylittletravel.blog

Sharing my travel plans for 2018: Dublin, Tokyo, Berlin, Sitges and more Japan...so far. Plus, embarrassing memories from my first German sauna

It’s 40 days until my next trip to Tokyo and I’m ever so slightly excited. Find out why I’m flying via Amsterdam and Helsinki and how much I love Shinjuku No-chome!

It pays to have a back-up plan! And to have membership of an excellent cinema. I finally got to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi and absolutely loved it. No spoilers here!

You’d be amazed what you can see from the DLR in the morning. But, as the song says, I wasn’t expecting *that*! Plus: online shopping and Star Wars.

I survived two terrifically cold days in Dublin, mostly by walking quickly and eating and drinking far too much.

Hmmm...seems my last recording got chewed up and deleted? Anyway, I made it to Dublin...eventually. Despite the snow and the delays.

Finally finished my Xmas shopping, still drooling over my iPhone X and looking ahead to the remaining trips in my calendar for 2017.

Giving thanks? Yes please. • A month with the iPhone X

I finally have my iPhone X and my first thoughts are: wow!!
