Beware of Dennis the Menace.

So sang Rosemary Clooney in 1953.  Over 50 years later and after being battered by Ciara, this weekend it was our turn to “Beware of Dennis”.  The name Dennis itself derives from Greek and means follower of Dionysios.

Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take you to Bermuda, Bahamas

Have you been windswept, battered and soaked by Storm Ciara?

Will 2020 be the year that Max Verstappen or Charles LeClerc seriously challenge Lewis for the title? All the race venues make great …

Are these the quirkiest hotel rooms?

My favourite is the Keemala Bird’s Nest Villas on the beautiful island of Phuket, Thailand. You have to visit just for design of the villas, never mind the views, expansive bathroom with monsoon shower and a stand-alone bathtub with a view. “Uninterrupted ocean views create a unique castaway experience. The beautifully designed villas offer the …
