I got told about the Frankfurt Christmas Market.
To be fair, it is a fairly typical German Market that you find in most German towns and cities at this time of the year with one noticable difference. About 10 years ago, somebody came up with the bright idea of lifting the whole thing up and moving it (and it’s stall holders) to Birmingham!
So this week I have been to Vienna. Even though it was hovering around zero degrees, I took the time to wrap up warm and head out into the city to see what was there. From getting off the metro to getting back on again was less than 30 minutes which is clearly not enough time to experience Vienna but at least I can now say I have seen it.

So Sam wanted to see some motor racing (and so did I) so on a cold October morning we headed over to Silverstone to catch some action at the British Touring Car Championship 2011 finals.
There was a full day of racing including the Porsche Cup
I managed to grab a few days in Amsterdam last week and just take some time out to explore the city.
As usual, all the photos I took can be found here, however here is a selection of images to get you started. Read more

I went to Prague back in 2007. At the time, the stag trade had just left town as Easyjet headed further east and the city was adjusting to a new tourist trade. Back then I saw the city for what it was with it’s long and varied history that reflected in it’s architecture and its people.
So it’s five years later, the sun is out, the blossom is on the trees and we are back in Prague. This time there is my wife Teresa and Sam who is now eight. Again, I did promise that we would travel more at the start of the year didn’t I?
In this post I will share some of the images that stand out but do follow the links through to my photo album where there are dozens more photos that really do capture the time spent in what is a truly pretty city. Read more
