The continuing diaries of an Englishman abroad visiting such exotic places as Spain, USA, Malta and heaven knows where. Tagging along are his wife Pauline and daughter Emma.

Everything you are about to read is based on true events and real people. It may have been embellished beyond recognition for a cheap laugh but everything happened to a greater or lesser degree. Apart from the bits I made up. OK, and apart from the jokes. And apart from the fantasy sequences. But all the characters are real, believe me.


Exciting isn't it?

Spain 2002 - Day 15 - Home



It’s been such a lazy holiday, we’ve only ever seen Emma and Camille at breakfast and dinner and apart from Barcelona we haven’t really done anything remotely energetic or interesting for two weeks.

How am I going to write a journal when there’s nothing to write about? It’ll just have to be, “Got up, had breakfast, had dinner, went to bed.” Can’t see that it can be anything else.

Hang on though, “It was a dark and stormy night and the wind was howling through the trees as four terrified people tried to get some elusive sleep before leaving in the morning to catch their flight to Gerona……..”

As Max Miller used to say when composing his songs, “I’ve got the beginning and I’ve got the end, all I’m after is that middle bit lady, that middle bit. It’ll come to me, oh yes, it might be in the middle of the night and when it does I’ll be out of bed like a shot…………”
