The city of #Chester is beautiful. The Hotel Indigo proved a comfortable base and was a short walk from the heart of the city. Looking forward to returning in the summer. @VisitChester_

It's always lovely to receive good news. Yesterday I was informed that my post about #Changsha in China's Hunan province has been shortlisted for Blog Story of the Year at the 2025 Inspire Global Media Awards. Here it is: go-eat-do.com/2024/06/things… #IGMAs #positiveimpacttorytelling

It's good to see @lner.co.uk offering #water refills at #Newcastle Central Station. Shame Newcastle International Airport doesn't have a similar water filling station & it's necessary to buy plastic bottles or queue & ask for water at one of the airport's food & drink businesses.

Place names can change over time. Salisbury (Rhodesia/Zimbabwe), Bombay (India) and more recently Kiev (Ukraine) have fallen out of favour. Yet while those are for political reasons, Oporto as the English name for Porto (Portugal) also seems to have fallen largely out of use.

Trying these dips, which are made in #Durham. They are available in a range of flavours and are suitable for vegetarians. They are very tasty and quite a healthy snack option. #snack

The town of #Halifax in West #Yorkshire has some impressive buildings. The Piece Hall is one of its stars. Charles Barry, who was involved in the design of the UK's parliament, had a hand in town hall. #Calderdale
