An expat Brit in South Australia
The seventh Hanwell Hootie The Marshall amplifier, the embodiment of loud, raucous, rock’n’roll, blared the power chords again in this west London suburb at the seventh Hanwell Hootie.

In an earlier post I proposed Huntly in the north east of Scotland as the best little town ever. However, with its seventeenth century harbour, narrow winding streets sloping down to the water, the famous Portsoy ice-cream and the nearby Glassaugh distillery, Portsoy wins hands down. Stay at Durn House. This is a small country hotel
Huntly is a small town (population 4,000) in the North East of Scotland, not forty miles from Aberdeen. Despite growing up in this part of the world, I had never properly visited Huntly. Neither did I know that the town is the home of Dean’s Shortbread– not as famous as Walkers, but probably better. With
