Not only is it St George’s day but Shakespeare’s birthday as well. No further on are we in the discussion of whether we should have a public holiday to celebrate England’s saint’s day.

You might have heard of Atlantic City’s rival, somewhere called Las Vegas. Atlantic City is a bit smaller. It only has 11 casinos compared to the 40 odd you’ll find in Las Vegas but oddly enough Atlantic City takes proportionately more cash per casino than Las Vegas does. Like Las Vegas, it’s a weekend resort as Americans catch the fast ACES (Atlantic City Express Service) train link which leaves New York’s Penn Station and stops only at Newark to collect passengers flying in. But the express only runs at the weekend and Fridays. That means that hotel rates can be expensive so visit Atlantic City during the week instead. As an add on to a trip to New York, a day or so away from the big apple will show you a different world.
Another museum, the Cae Dai 1950’s Motor Museum in Lawnt outside Denbigh in North Wales has been badly damaged by fire. The fire broke out on Tuesday night and has destroyed many of the vehicles including the lorry that was used to take the mail sacks away from the Great Train Robbery in 1963. Now that the roof has caved in, it is not sure if anything can be saved from the collection. But being a 1950’s museum, there was more than the odd vehicle. There were examples of food and everyday items from the time including ration books (I still have mine somewhere about the place) and mock-ups of what kitchens were like at the time.
t seemed quite simple when I got up this morning. Flights into Scottish airports would be disrupted due to the ash cloud emanating from the Icelandic volcano we can pronounce, Grimsvotn, and spread southwards.
Except that isn’t what’s happening. Some airlines are flying and some have been advised (“ordered” seems to be the real meaning of the word for Ryanair by the Irish Aviation Authority) not to.
Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas, without a visit to a Christmas market. We round up some of the best Christmas markets in England.
