Novel ways - "That's Thrushcross Grange," explained my host, Brenda Taylor, as I
stared out of the car window at the impressive hall at the foot of the Pennine Way. S
he parked in the neighbouring driveway of Ponden House, a cosy little B&B in Stanbury
near Haworth, and ushered me into the hallway. "Dump your bags and we'll take the dog
for a walk so you can get a closer look".
Paris match - Hitting the streets of Paris with the latest guide book isn't
much use when it doesn't fit inside your clutch bag. That's why a new package called
Just Between Us is just the ticket. Run by the salubrious Hôtel Meurice on the Rue
de Rivoli, this service introduces you to a Parisienne girlfriend.
Time out - "You like bananas?" The question came from my Malaysian airline
"transfer" driver, who was chauffeuring me from Kuala Terengganu's airport to my
resort in Merang in a clapped out Toyota. She had pulled over at a roadside vendor
and was vigorously prodding boxes of fruit.
