    Day 6: KERA All Creatures Tour — A quick stop at Belvoir Castle before heading back to London

    Hard to believe we are nearing the end of our 2023 KERA All Creatures Great and Small Tour of England but, alas, there is but one more stop on the way back to London and our last night dinner with 26 of our newest friends. But…what an amazing stop it was.  Belvoir Castle has served a […]

    Day 5: KERA’s All Creatures Tour heads to where else but…. ‘All Creatures G&S’ in the Dales!

    Yes, I bounded out of bed this morning fresh off a 2.5 mile walking of the walls around the city of York so, combined with the fact that we were headed to the Yorkshire Dales and the filming locations for All Creatures Great and Small, this is going to be a great day all the way […]

    Day 4: KERA’s All Creatures Tour descends on York

    While visions of Betty’s Tea Room, the National Railway Museum and getting the energy to walk the 2.5 miles of ancient walls that circle the of York were all part of the plan for a free afternoon, the morning of our first day in York was reserved for an historic tour of Yorkminster, one of […]

    Day 3: KERA’s All Creatures tour heads north to York with a stop at Chatsworth House!

    With Grantchester and Cambridge University in our collective rear view mirror, we headed to the Peak District and York with a stop along the way at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.  Beyond description, this historic estate has served as the home of the Dukes of Devonshire and their ancestors since the mid-16th century (1549 to be […]

    Day 2: KERA’s All Creatures Tour visits ‘Call the Midwife’ & ‘Grantchester’ filming locations

    Following a brief stay in London on Day 1 of KERA’s All Creatures Tour of England where I do admit I was tempted, albeit briefly, to join the Gorilla Circus’ Flying Trapeze School in Hyde Park, we boarded the Transcendent Travel coach on Tuesday and headed to the Historic Dockyard in Chatham, the main filming location […]

  • Tempting fate, once again, Tellyspotting survives the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone to begin KERA’s All Creatures Tour!
    August 27, 2023

    Tempting fate, once again, Tellyspotting survives the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone to begin KERA’s All Creatures Tour!

    As your head hits the pillow Saturday evening, Tellyspotting will be close to the end of the nine hour trek to London to begin the 2023 All Creatures Great and Small Tour courtesy of KERA and Transcendent Travel. So far, a pretty nondescript flight which, these days, is a very good thing. The highlight, oddly, was when […]

  • North Hobart’s ‘Room for a Pony’ restaurant would appeal to both Hyacinth and Onslow!
    August 1, 2023

    North Hobart’s ‘Room for a Pony’ restaurant would appeal to both Hyacinth and Onslow!

    Even though it’s highly doubful that one of the best restaurants in Australia get its name from Hyacinth Bucket’s description of her sister Violet’s successful lifestyle, it is fun to think that the owners of Room for a Pony in North Hobart are long-time fans of the classic British comedy, Keeping Up Appearances. Unlike Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream out of […]

    To mark the 40th anniversary of one of the most iconic of British comedy series, a painting was placed in Audley End House in Essex recently. Orchestrated by UK TV’s Gold, the carefully commissioned portrait achieved its purpose as visitors who stumbled across the oil painting hanging in the Great Hall of the historic Jacobean […]

  • The chance to discuss the brutal reality of AFC Richmond’s relegation at The Prince’s Head, a.k.a. The Crown and Anchor — priceless!

    The chance to discuss the brutal reality of AFC Richmond’s relegation at The Prince’s Head, a.k.a. The Crown and Anchor — priceless!

    Unfortunately, you won’t get a chance to down a few with Coach Lasso or his well-grounded, longtime assistant and friend, Coach Beard nor will you get to sing “Roy Kent, Roy Kent, he’s here, he’s there, he’s every-f***ing-where, Roy Kent, Roy Kent” with the AFC Richmond supporters from The Crown & Anchor, but up to 12 insanely […]

    It’s St. Paddy’s Day Eve from Craggy Island

    You can wear green all you want, have a pint of Guinness, maybe some Irish Stew or Corned Beef and Cabbage or even go to a parade but it just wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day without a trip to Ireland’s favorite destination – Craggy Island. With the realization that many across the globe have been […]
