Lowbrow London

Sharing lowbrow London: burgers, beers and brass monkeys! Originally from Dublin, I've lived in London for over twenty years and it's still a love/hate relationship. It's both a world-class city and a dysfunctional hell-hole. But there's one thing we can all agree on - there's enough beer and burgers for everyone!

Ep 01: Better late than never

Why wouldn’t you start a new podcast in the middle of a global pandemic?! It's only taken me six months to get organised and start speaking into the mic again. Anyway, here's the first episode. Onwards and upwards!

Episode 32: A return to form?

I’m back from the worst flu ever, having learnt a bit more about how to record using Anchor, and determined to get back into the podcasting habit. I look ahead at future trips and wonder how I can make this podcast even more relevant. Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions!

Episode 33: What to pack?

A packing list is at the root of all good travel planning. Don’t bring too much, don’t forget anything crucial. And, for the very first time, a listener calls in!

Episode 31: Traveling sick

Tons of back to back business travel when you’re sick with the flu is not ideal. Pardon the heavy breathing in this episode. It’s not pretty...

Episode 30: Go West!

Over to the West of Ireland on business, where the travel, accommodation and food were...lacking. Also, I really hate Gatwick Airport 😬

Cabin fever is setting in...

I’m still stuck in Dublin and the weather shows no signs of improving. Add to that no hot water and power cuts and it’s been grim...

Bracing myself for Emma and/or the Beast from the East

I’m stuck in Dublin. It’s snowing. And my flight’s been cancelled. I’m off to the bar...

Update from Dublin...

It’s cold. But no snow yet. The “Beast from the East” has yet to arrive. And of course I overcompensated with the heating, turning my hotel room into a sauna...

I saw Conchita with the BBC concert orchestra last night and it was fab! 🙂But I’m still up at 0530 to fly to Dublin 😱✈️☕️

My last long training run before next week's 'Big Half' half-marathon here in London. Running in London is great, but it's not always easy...

Saturday isn't off to a great start...

Shouty neighbours disturbing my sleep and podcast teething problems. Not a great start to the weekend...

Tokyo trip: episode 2

We made it to Tokyo! It’s cold, sunny and amazing. As usual. I’m loving the fact I managed to get some sleep. I’m also hunting down Tokyo’s remaining Nintendo Switch stock. And falling in love with every staff member in this hotel 😍

Business travel woes!

In which I dash to Barcelona and back in a day, deal with arctic temperatures in Warrington and plan a visit to Japan based on my mispronunciation of a city’s name. All travel adventures can be found at www.mylittletravel.blog
