latest blogs from the road
If you have found your way here, this is the main blog page. A wonderful list of my inane ramblings and photography from our holidays around the world and road trips across America and Europe.
There may be even one or two useful posts hidden within, but I’m making no promises.
Old Town Kissimmee Car Cruise Nights were one of the highlights of our Florida holiday. Polished classics, hot rods, live music and a sense of community that feels a world away from the UK car cruise scene.
A couple of hours from our Florida base in Davenport, the Florida Railroad Museum in Parrish turned out to be the perfect birthday day out. Old locomotives, a scenic rail journey, and a surprise driver experience made this a highlight away from the Orlando crowds.
