Hudson Valley
America takes Halloween very seriously and even though I travel up the Hudson Valley prior to October 31, the shops, markets and houses are heaving with pumpkins of all sizes and shades. They echo the spectacular colours of the trees - one week...

Boston
A flat and depressing feeling now that the election is over, but as I wandered around Cambridge the buildings of Harvard and Radcliffe looked reassuringly solid in these uncertain times. The Peabody Museum (11 Divinity Avenue) had a Lewis and Clark...

San Francisco
There are so many books set in and around San Francisco; contemporary ones range from Vikram Seth's The Golden Gate (Vintage 1986) (inspired by Pushkin's Eugene Onegin), which Gore Vidal called "the great Californian novel,” to The Serial by Cyra...

Tasmania City

Melbourne
Driving through the Outback is really the only way to get an idea of the vastness of Australia and, having driven five hours north of Melbourne, we stayed the night at the Grand Hotel in Mildura, opened in 1891 and now owned and run by Don and Anna...

Lord Howe Island
Imagine every cliché, postcard and commercial about tropical islands and you might get some idea of the beauty of Lord Howe. The two hour flight from Sydney is across an empty ocean and the landing strip seems only just long enough for the Qantas 30...

Sydney
I was quite relieved to leave America - there was a tendency towards post-election despair among the people I knew, and although I had a good time their despondency had somewhat rubbed off on me. I arrived in Sydney in the early morning on what...
