San Gimignano
Florence The first time I went to San Gimignano was in February 1999. We took the bus from Florence to visit this Medieval Tuscan hilltop town after seeing it on a holiday programme. I saw its 14 famous towers for the first time from several miles away. It made me even more eager to explore […]

The Turner Prize 2011

Angel of the North Painting
Angel of the North Painting. Most folk have strong opinions about the Angel of the North. They either love it or hate it. Personally, I like it. It’s always a reminder that I’m not too far from home if I’ve been travelling from the South. One of my favourite paintings of the Angel of the North […]
