At Oxford Botanic Garden, we carry out research into poorly-known plants with other botanists around the world. Last year, I worked with scientists in Malaysia to describe a new species of so-called ‘fairy lantern’.

When Lionel was invited to visit a local hotel in Oxford, set in 30 acres of parkland and by a river I decided that yes, I’d escort him and we’d see just how dog friendly it was. 

The city of Paris has long been associated with romance and has welcomed many people looking for a romantic getaway from around the globe. Located some twelve miles west from the centre of Paris is the stunning Palace of Versailles.
