Food 2019 – Blo Deady at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 19th July 2019 – Blo Deady After the disappointment of the previous supper club event (Aldo Zilli) it was good to be back at West Hall with no mention of the Daily Telegraph, and a chef on fine form in the kitchen. That chef was the slightly oddly named Blo Deady, a private chef…

Travel 2018 – Goodwood Revival, Goodwood
Sunday, 9th September 2018 – Goodwood Revival Meeting, Goodwood 2018 was the year of Goodwood for us. Having failed to get to any of the main meetings in previous years, largely because they tended to clash with international F3 meetings elsewhere in Europe, we’d pretty much given up on the idea.
