Jane was here for a week, which meant we packed in the cultural excursions, historical outings, book shops, barbecue meals and breweries. Lots of breweries. On Thursday, thanks to a visit to Platypus Brewing, she managed to get into double figures of local beers sampled! Impressive, but understandable given she's a subject of Her Majesty, like us.
Everywhere we went, locals seemed surprised but pleased that someone would choose to holiday in Houston, and the conversation would inevitably turn to how this city is a well-kept secret, and how hopefully it will remain that way to keep house and living prices down. I didn't let on that the millions of tourists who will inevitably descend after reading my blog and/or talking to Jane will skew things economically. Enjoy it while it lasts Houstonians.

Come back and see us again, Jane! Here are six reasons to.
