Shayona restaurant at the Neasden temple
The incongruous splendour of the Neasden temple rising up from a nondescript London street is a sight to behold. Consecrated in 1995, the building covers 1.5 acres and is the largest outside India. By sheer serendipity, we’re here on a thoroughly auspicious day- it’s the birthday of both the temple’s namesake Swaminarayam, and Lord Rama. Celebration is in the air, along with the odd tantalising whiff from the mandir’s Shayona restaurant just across the bustling car park.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Like no other jilted capital Istanbul engulfs visitors with its razzled charms, the musk of rose petal tinged with rancid fish-heads the prelude to your renewed affections. Important things have happened in this city of minarets; here the past isn’t so much a passive resident but a restless dervish whirling down the backstreets off Taxsim square, where men smoke the hookah and sip coffee as thick and loamy as compost.
Bacon week is on its way
The power of bacon should not be underestimated. Cooking it releases an intense odour that has the ability to kill off the most horrific human hangover. In fact, the overwhelming inducement of continuous cooked, crispy bacon even convinced me that going to Telford was something to relish.
