The Paris-based long-haul airline launched its flight between Newark Liberty International Airport and Paris-Orly on July 15. I recently flew French bee’s nonstop service to Paris and back from my home in New York City. I was initially attracted by French Bee’s advantageous pricing, starting at $199 … [Read more...]

We were staying at Winchcombe Farm, and it became clear pretty soon after arriving that we might not be doing as much exploring as we’d thought. Winchcombe Farm had … [Read more...]
The Crown & Garter in Berkshire – My First Mid-Covid Trip
Deep in the Berkshire countryside, through winding narrow lanes, in a small village named Inkpen, there is a 17th century inn called The Crown and Garter.

But thankfully that’s all behind us and this is now an area of bright bursting flowers pots and English … [Read more...]
