In keeping with my current Italian state of mind: some ideas on where to eat out in (as I test out a Negroni flight in the Italian city where the classic cocktail was born)

Ringing in 2024 with lavish Swiss fireworks, inspiring lake views & fresh powder in buckets (yes, even the snow gods hit the dance floor to close the year). Ever grateful for this beautiful world which I hope will become a happier, more peaceful place this year. To you & yours 🥂

Lapping up the lunar energy of the December Cold Moon shining on Lake Geneva. And then morning came and the world briefly turned pink 💕

Somehow, after lunch, we managed to stagger down to the lake to dip. Happy Boxing Day from an exhilarating Lake Geneva

I've stayed in hundreds of hotels, but only once – just once – have I been woken up by the smell of freshly baked bread wafting in from my balcony. My latest for Telegraph Travel Telegraph Ski & Snow on in a time-warped village twinset in the French Alps telegraph.co.uk/travel/ski/tim…

After months of sending me ‘new follower’ notifications but not being able to read one word, I’m finally in along with the rest of Europe. Look forward to catching up & gravitating from here to there. Shout if you’re not on my radar! threads.net/@tripalong

Last weekend, despite me being rather unwell, we had to take our daughter to Cannes for a sporting event. Arriving with zero expectation, ’s Côte d’Azur in off-season December was mellow, warm, empty & the perfect antidote to my usual busy life. Pure, unexpected joy!

Sharing here as such an inspired idea by SNCF Connect 🚂 Download the app, create an account to buy tickets & rack up an annual km/kg count of train travel/carbon saving with each rail journey you make in : 7555km by train & 1056kg for me in 2023. And you?

There's never been such a PERFECT time to ski in ! Remote village at 900m few have heard or high-altitude-with-attitude celeb resort at 2000m: there's mountains of snow everywhere. My take for Lonely Planet on where (and how) to ski in lonelyplanet.com/articles/best-…

So I peeked online to check those 400,000 new Paris 2024 tickets on sale from today. Call me old fashioned, but I'd love to be Seine-side for the opening ceremony. Cheapest tickets available right now: €1600 or €2700 🤪

Just to add to the flurry of snow-induced excitement in the French Alps right now, it seems that my mountainous neck of the woods has a very good chance of hosting the 2030 Winter Olympics ❄️ ⛷️

Just to get you in the mood (and reassure myself that the continuing torrential rain at low-altitude climes chez nous around Lake Geneva is 'worth it' ...)
