š5ļøā£. Welcome to my annual Top Five series where without any hint of shame I write about my favourite things from the past year.
Back in the day I listed a lot more of these, but Iāve narrowed it down over time, and Iāll start with one of my most craved obsessions, and that of travel. So, Iāll begin with my Top Five Favourite Places š.

I keep a list of the restaurants I visit, mostly away from Bermuda, and gee, last year was a difficult choice.

There were two or three great places that never made My Top Five Favourite Restaurants from 2018, but these ones did:
I enjoyed my little saunter to Boston this past weekend. The weather was glorious despite snow being on the ground from the Nor’easter storm earlier last week, though why they insist on spelling this kind of weather pattern wrong is beyond me. Anyway sat outside for four hours watching the New England Patriots beat Buffalo Bills on Sunday could have and should have been a very cold experience but instead the stadium was basked in beautiful sunshine.
Boston is one of that small band of American cities that relies on people walking it, supplemented by an excellent underground train network. The city is a cluster of neighbourhoods stretching south-west from the airport and we stayed in the North End, which is only a spit away from the airport across the Boston Harbour.

Off to Boston this morning which has made me not too popular at home as both my girls, young and not so young, have spent the whole week sick.
I Ā have been invited to the attend the New England Patriots v Buffalo Bills game on Sunday.Ā It starts at 1pm and the way the flights work make it a ‘necessity’ for me to leave here this morning, which conveniently allows for a night in Boston and then a lie in followed by going toĀ the Patriots stadium in Foxborough, about 20 miles south-west of the city
