Inflation alert!

My yoghurt ice cream has gone up - a single scoop in a cone was 60 lek and now it’s 80.

That’s a big leap and a sign that tourist season is here.

(It’s worth every lek)

30 April 1978 100k people marched from Trafalgar Square to Victoria Park for the Rock Against Racism/Anti-Nazi League concert with The Clash, Steel Pulse, Tom Robinson Band, X-Ray Spex, Jimmy Pursey & Patrik Fitzgerald

My heart just skipped a beat when I saw this post.
When I watch this footage I still feel the same rush I felt in 1977.
My favourite band - #TheJam

29 April 1977 Chelsea,The Prefects & Bethnal played the Roxy.
#ThePrefects , reputedly Brum's 1st punk band, were driven off the stage of Rebecca’s in Birmingham at their 1st proper gig the month before after they played their new song 'Birmingham's a Sh*thole'. #punk

It’s a miracle! The 5thc AD mosaics of Basilica B at Byllis have been uncovered and I have seen them for the first time ever!
Check out the chap milking a goat. #mosaicmonday #albania

This the view from my balcony right now.

I love this time of year, before the season starts and they cover the beach with rows of beds and umbrellas.

I like to see the locals just enjoying the beautiful weather and this lovely city.

The state of X!

Look at the replies to these photos of a view. It’s disgusting and something needs to be done about it before we all give up on this site.

Just finished accompanying a 10 day tour round Albania. It’s good to be back home in Durrës.

Well if I was in London tomorrow I know where I’d be heading…

Modern English were superb when I saw them last month.

And what a great special guest tomorrow too.

I have been going to #Mullixhiu restaurant in #Tirana since 2017 and it never disappoints….
The food, the wine, the ambience (even the light shades!) are just wonderful.
Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The colours and shades of a stroll around #Tirana ! ❤️

In Albania even the sewing machines are Mercedes……

I’ve got T-shirt envy again….

The Albanian Riviera this afternoon. That sea! 💙

Today we’re in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Berat. ❤️

From traces of the 4thC BC walls, through Orthodox churches and Imperial mosques to the traditional architecture of the 18th/19thc… it’s such a beautiful place to visit. #Albania
