2014 began with a trickle of what was intended to be a steady flow of posts encapsulating architecture, but that soon dried right up. With luck, the tap will be turned on again, gently, in 2015.

For 2014 also began with the new venture of Cognoscenti Travel, and this has thoroughly dominated the year – with two very successful tours to Roman and Renaissance Italy in the summer followed by one to Hannover in September, celebrating the tercentenary of the dynasty from those parts taking the British thrones. Planning well into 2016 is underway and the first 2015 tour (Edge of Empire, in May) has long been sold out.
Do look out for the Cognoscenti website (cognoscentitravel.co.uk) and please follow us on Facebook.
