What is the difference between Angela Lansbury's Travel blog and the Wine and Dine blog?

The travel with Angela Lansbury blog pre-dates my wine and dine blog. I started the wine and dine blog to group together my restaurant and food and wine reviews, without the distraction of posts on trains, statues, museums, and learning languages. The wine and dine blog is shorter and more focused. 

Duplicate posts
Are any of the posts duplicates? Yes. I sometimes start a post on the travel blog and then think, this is a candidate for the wine and dine blog. I do , however, often change the posts as I continue editing them. On the travel blog I will add details about travel. I might add more about food on the wine and dien blog.

A post on learning Spanish on the travel blog will include words about trains and planes. On the wine and dine blog I will remove some of the travel words and add more menu words.

When I started the wine and dine blog I duplicated a few restaurant posts here. I was surprised and disappointed that my food and drink posts got far fewer readers on the wine and dine blog. I had expected the identical posts to get equal numbers of readers. 

Were more people interested in travel, a wider subject?

Italian restaurant with home made pasta - Vasco & Piero's Pavilion Restaurant

Image
  Vasco & Piero's Pavilion Italian Restaurant has been our family's favourite in Central London for a long time. It's always a delightful surprise because the menu changes twice daily. The restaurant is clean, white bright and fresh with white linen table cloths. We went there again in November 2024. You can sit at small square tables for two, oblong tables for four, large round tables, or bar stools, or in a private room behind glass walls at the back. My companions chose a glass of red chianti to match the colour and intensity of their red meat dishes. I opted for Prosecco, sparkling white as a starter and to go with my white meat main course, chicken. Good enough. My husband, who is a wine educator, approved of the label credentials, the region and grape variety, and the taste. The restaurant has Umbrian items.  A member of our family from overseas wanted soup, which was not on the menu. They immediately offered to make one specially for her, a 'simple' mixed...
