Stan started off life as a toptastic popstar in 80’s band – The Housemartins. Spent the last few years travelling the world with a ukulele, teaching kids to sing and writing travel pieces for assorted papers and magazines.

The Greek island of Rhodes was in the news a while back, as wildfires did their thing. For those few days it didn’t look like a picture postcard holiday destination. But that was then; this…
Don’t know about you, but I have always had a soft spot for treehouse adventures. Keep my eyes peeled for the possibility whenever practical. Recently, after a long, dry spell, without sight, sound or sniff…

Some years back, I stayed at an amazing treehouse, in Botswana, on safari. Took ages to get there, was hideously expensive, but was well worth it. Had an all round magical experience. Spent hours watching…
