  • Surprises

    Today was full of them, all of them good. It began with breakfast, when we pulled into a completely unremarkable bakery for breakfast. What was just a dull building on the side of a highway ended up housing the best croissants outside of Paris, and a terrific escargot as well. Not what I would have…

  • Cooking Course

    Ky and I went of a cooking course today in St Remy. Honestly, it was one of the best things we’ve done on a holiday. First stop was the markets, where our guide for the day, Giles, used the produce on sale to guide his menu. Critical to the meal? Tomatoes. They’re at the height…

  • Shocked Fish

    This fish looks shocked! Courtesy of this evenings BBQ. It was delicious.

  • The South

    Ky and I are at step two of our honeymoon, the South of France. You can see why it has a reputation; the two of us are absolutely smitten with the place. Our journey hasn’t been without hiccups. Last night, what should have been a 3.5 hour train ride took almost 6, as we were…

  • Trump v Biden Debate

    Last week, Donald Trump and Joe Biden took to the stage to debate in their first of two debates. There is a lot to unpack, none of which you probably haven’t already read, but it’s an event worth chronicling. Takeaway #1 – Biden is in serious trouble: If there is one thing that unites America,…

  • Early June

    Everyone has a favourite restaurant. Everyone. There may be a shortlist, it may no longer exist, it may not even have your favourite dish, but there is something about a particular establishment that just sings out to you. For Ky and I, it is a small restaurant called Early June. We went many years ago,…

Why I started this blog

I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.

With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.

While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
