Mike Yardley: Beavering around Ottawa

September 15, 2017 23:54 - 5 minutes - 2.24 MB

It’s party time in Canada as the nation’s year-long birthday bash rolls on. The French may have staked their claim nearly five hundred years ago, but Canada as we know it, is only 150 years old. And it’s that celebration of the nation’s Confederation that has further fired up the travel boom to Canada. Kiwis are part of that global love affair with Air New Zealand just announcing increased flights to Vancouver. Out east, I’ve just enjoyed my first foray to the capital city of Ottawa. Similarl...

September 09, 2017 01:05 - 7 minutes - 2.89 MB

6 Days directed by Toa Fraser. Starring Jamie Bell, Abbie Cornish and Mark Strong In April 1980, armed gunmen stormed the Iranian Embassy in Princes Gate, London and took all inside hostage.

September 09, 2017 00:43 - 7 minutes - 2.82 MB

Mike Yardley: Enjoying Europe in the Age of Terror Bookended by two big burly hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, with North Korea’s nefarious provocations wedged in between, the past week’s international news has certainly been busy. Maybe that’s why the latest Europe travel alert hasn’t managed to make much of a splash in the headlines. But the US State Department has just refreshed its official travel advice for Europe, alerting travellers of a heightened risk of terror attacks in Europe. The or...

Andrew Dickens reviews Neil Finn's new album 'Out Of Silence'

September 09, 2017 00:14 - 3 minutes - 1.47 MB

It would be easy to deal with this record in relative terms. To judge it by it’s process. Recorded over 4 Fridays with the bulk of it done in 4 hours on the final Friday. But to do that would be improper. It’s a return to the old days of recording. The beatles first record please please me saw 14 songs recorded in one day. So the famously fastidious Neil has done this one even quicker But a record is a record and has to be judged on what comes out of the speakers. And what came out my s...

Nici Wickes: Scrumptious Carrot Cake

September 08, 2017 23:16 - 6 minutes - 2.41 MB

If it’s possible to have a ‘rustic’ cake then carrot cake wins. With its wholemeal flour and vegetables (and I even cram in some seeds) a carrot cake is as robust as it is delicious.
