I made a recent visit to my sister and her two sons Thomas and Harry. Thomas could be a budding newspaper editor and he showed me a very well laid out ficticous newspaper he had created for his neighbourhood. He also shares his uncle’s fascination in all things cartographic.

With this in mind I asked if he would like to do some research on the places we visit. He could then publish them on the blog. He agreed. Thomas, with the help of Harry, can monitor our performance and offer advice on places to visit.
