Abergavenny is a town that still knows how to shop properly. That may sound like a small thing, but it matters.

On our way to North Wales, with Trefor and Snowdonia ahead of us and the Isle of Anglesey planned for later in the trip, we decided to break the journey in Abergavenny. It was still early to mid-morning when we arrived, the kind of time when a town is just beginning to show its rhythm: […]

Sometimes, the craving is not for a full dinner but simply dessert. That was exactly the case on a Saturday evening in Bath. We were looking specifically for Asian desserts and had some time to spare, so we decided to make a little mission out of it and see what the city had to offer.
