The Train Snack Bar Announcement

Join me on one of our British trains. Over the years I’ve learned that the food on our British trains generally is massively overpriced and doesn’t taste so good (French trains so much better in all respects). Please note that it is the train loudspeaker system that is delivering quite badly distorted sound (along with the badly distorted sandwiches!). Brexit = terrible food!

The Healthy Start To The Day!

The funny thing about Costa Coffee shops in the UK is the glass they serve coffee in.  The glass is very top heavy and easily falls over when the tray with the glass on it is being carried.  Makes no sense to me (and the coffee isn’t that wonderful either!). Sorry Costa.

The Best Bread

The Netherlands is the very best place to buy bread.  Here’s the young lady at Monnickendam market (Saturdays) when many different types of bread and cakes (yum!) are available.  Some of the bread and cakes are cooked on the stall.  It doesn’t get fresher than that!
