Championship Review

In many ways the Championship is more interesting than the Premier and one of those ways is the manager. There are only five British managers in the Premier – Tony Pulis, Mark Hughes, Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche and Chris Hughton – and their expectation aspiration and ambition are for their [...]

Fowey and Helford Estuary

Though Cornwall is not the Riviera, for its range of locations and talented characters drawn there, there is still much to do of interest. On Sunday we went to Fowey on the river Fowey and opposite lies Bodinnick where Gerald du Maurier had a chalet style home and introduced Daphne to the locale. [...]

Would you believe it?

My 26-1 shot Alexander Levy had only to sink a three foot tiddler to win the Porsche European Open and missed it. The latest kid on the English block Jordan Smith won his first trophy. It was breathtaking stuff. Levy carded a 69 to Smith’s 71 and it was sufficient to force a play off. On the [...]

Our readers might find this difficult to believe but we do not confer before our postings so it’s entirely possible to write on the same theme. Today I am touching on a subject aired yesterday, namely road travel. It’s that time of year again when the Rusters make their annual [...]

The French Riviera: a literary guide for travellers/Ted Jones

Travel writing is not one of my preferred reading genres though I recognize the merit of Eric Newby, Patrick Leigh Fermor, and the humour of Bill Bryson. Travel for me is visual and personal not objective and written. However I do enjoy a book on the characters that lived in a region I know well [...]

Rain spoils play

The Sussex Sharks have now had three t20 games spoiled by rain. Yesterday there was play but we were reduced to 8 overs. I do feel that the ECB have not paid sufficient consideration to the vagaries of British weather in the new metro franchise. Yesterday I went to Hove to see the Sussex Sharks [...]

A great sporting weekend

This is one of my favourite sporing weekends showcasing the final 2 days of the Open and the culmination of the Tour. I remember in 1989 staying this weekend with a sporting family in Suffolk. Greg Norman contrived to lose the Open in a play off to Mark Calcavecchia, the Great White Shark was [...]

For many years Murrays at the Ship Hotel was the destination of choice for a meal at Chichester. It has now been taken over by the Harbour chain that operate boutique hotels along the south coast. It’s had a total makeover with the familiar mustard banquettes of the Brighton Harbour. It keeps [...]
