This is a blog post that I started writing two months ago on October 24th, I then stopped because there were so many other “new iPhone” blogs around I couldn’t see the point, but with nothing else to do over Christmas, I thought I’d polish it off. It is here. An hour before DHL were… Continue reading iPhone 12 Pro

Beats Flex
It is time to retire my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I tried once before, in April 2019, but the iPhone XR I bought then was stolen from the table in a pub (right under my nose) just a couple of weeks later and within a week of moving to Manchester in early May, and the… Continue reading Beats Flex
Pandemic Hotel Review: Holiday Inn Express, Swansea East

I’d flown into Belfast City airport (BHD) and caught bus 600 into the city centre, which dropped me off at the Europa Bus Centre, a journey… Continue reading Hampton by Hilton, Belfast City Centre
Hotel Indigo, Cardiff
This will be a brief review, as I was only there for one night and didn’t take any photographs. Hotel Indigo is part of the IHG chain (Holiday Inn etc), but as I type this, the Cardiff hotel is currently rated the #1 hotel in Cardiff on TripAdvisor. [Hotel’s website here.] From Cardiff Central train… Continue reading Hotel Indigo, Cardiff
