Center Parcs Sherwood

 

I've just done a rough calculation on the back of an envelope and come to the conclusion that I have been to Center Parcs nearly 20 times (if you include the Winfell Forest resort when it was called Oasis and before it was bought out by Center Parcs).

 Winfell and Sherwood are very different in character, although the basics are all the same. We also visited Longleat once but were not great fans (although we DID see deer wandering around!).

 Winfell is more hilly than Sherwood and the main village is completely covered by a large dome - which is good when the heavens open. There are red squirrels everywhere (they make grey squirrels look a bit big and clumsy), and there is a badger's sett with cameras on it that you can access on the TV in your lodge.

 This video is about Sherwood, but I think nearly all of it applies to every Center Parcs resort.

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.
