JOURNALISM

original journalism, editorial & features

"In December, we stayed at the Ipswich Capel St Mary Travelodge. The receptionist did not smile, but a short curly hair was there to welcome us in the bath. We couldn't afford anywhere swanky, so we had booked our stay online for £15 in the pre-Christmas sale. Once in the room, our child careered off the walls, shouting with delight. We turned on the TV, made a cuppa, and belligerently ignored the fact that the windows were fixed with a piece of laminated wire, 'for our own security'. We were 'away'! Heaven!"
