A significant fishing hub, Plymouth is home to the annual Seafood and Harbour Festival and ranks fifth in the United Kingdom in terms of the total catch (at over 6%). When tempted, Rupert Parker gives in.

Review of the London Restaurant Lusin in the Mayfair Neighborhood
Lusin, located on Hay Hill in Mayfair, is London’s first Armenian restaurant.
Lusin, a new Armenian restaurant in the heart of London’s Mayfair, offers foods and flavors that can’t be found anywhere else.
Launched in 2011 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Lusin (which means moon in Armenian and is a symbol in Armenian culture) has been a huge success. The United Nations’ Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, was a big admirer.
An expansive resort and marina, Marigot Bay Resort, clings to the slope above Marigot Bay in St. Lucia.
St. Lucia’s topography is a patchwork of winding uphill roads interwoven with verdant valleys, banana palms, highland forests, and white sand beaches, notably along the south-west coast on the island’s Caribbean border. This island is renowned for its stunning natural scenery.
AA Milne’s classic Winnie the Pooh tale, “Hundred Acre Wood,” was based on the planted forests covering 186 acres near the Ashdown Park Hotel. It’s easy to see why. There are lush green lawns, a lily lake, a wishing bridge, and a hidden garden just waiting for a couple to discover them. An undulating 18-hole golf course winds its way through the forest, providing a variety of views along the way.
