I will also open up what I write on Beacon, so everyone can see it. (This has already been the case if you have followed a tweeted link to an article.)<\/p>\n

I have also opened access to some of my favourite articles from 2014 on Beacon, listed below. Hope you enjoy them.<\/p>\n

The city which tells Britain it is not an island<\/a> (19 December)<\/p>\n

PizzaExpress: Italian food with middle-class British characteristics<\/a> (14 November)<\/p>\n

To see an awe-inspiring ancient place of worship, visit Salisbury not Stonehenge<\/a> (1 August)<\/p>\n

Cake, tea and pork pie at Hobbit motorway services<\/a> (1 July)<\/p>\n

70 years after D-Day, we need to stop mentioning the war<\/a> (6 June)<\/p>\n
