Stoke on Trent
By Lucy Corne
The first time I visited the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Stoke on Trent I was a giddy seven-year-old on a school trip. A lot has happened since, most notably the inevitable onset of adult cynicism. .... I left the UK almost a decade ago to see what else the world had to offer. But on my return this year I found that things had changed. It was still expensive and still raining, but suddenly the excellent English ales seemed worth paying for and the rain just made for a gloriously green backdrop. The people were friendlier, the food tastier, the history richer and the pubs cosier than I had remembered.

The Festival of the Gods - Oktoberfest
By Lucy Corne
I expected Oktoberfest to be a lot like New Year’s Eve. People talk it up all year, plans are made months in advance, prices rise and crowds descend only to end in the most disappointing party you can remember. Prices in Munich do skyrocket during Oktoberfest and there’s no lack of crowds. But disappointment? Not a bit. - Oktoberfest.
