Guide to Alvor

 

This video was a compilation of stills from two separate visits to this lovely little fishing town on the Algarve with a voiceover from me.

 Once more, I have included maps to give context to the people who have never heard of Alvor or indeed the Algarve.

If you've never been to the Algarve before, Alvor is a good place to start since it's got the pretty rocks, the massive sandy beach, the extensive nature reserve and a little fishing town with great restaurants and tourist shops.

 Car hire in Portugal is about the cheapest in Europe and our car cost only about £10 more than a coach transfer would have cost. Alvor is in a great position for travelling around the Algarve.

Nidd Hall, Warner Hotel

We have visited a number of Warner Hotels over the years and each has its own character. Nidd Hall is on the same lines as Thoresby but smaller. That can be seen as either an advantage or a disadvantage. The location is great, just over 4 miles to Knaresborough and just under 5 to Harrogate. Also, you're less than 20 miles from upper Nidderdale in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Magic Videos

I've been fascinated by magic since I was a small boy, but it has only been in the last 3 years that I have begun to study and practise the art myself. It helps to video my attempts so that I can look at them critically from an observer's perspective. It's also great to be able to show the videos to fellow magicians to get gratefully received constructive criticism. I began to increase the number that I have recorded, so it seemed better that I should put them into their own separate channel - Ordinary Bloke Magic. Here are the ones currently available: 51 Fat Chances Spin Doctor Power of Poker Coin Matrix 8 Card Brainwave Super Closer Deja Vu Vu Find the Other Half Petal to the Metal Smack in the face One Card One Box

Oxford

Oxford is a unique city, a mixture of the ancient university and the modern. On our visit there in 2018, we snapped a few of the usual iconic buildings and also some off the beaten track. The city is well worth a visit, but expect: Lots of tourists everywhere you go. Entry fees for just about every building, college, museum etc.
