Saturday 7th/Sunday 8th October, 2023 – Wombleton, Marton, Nunnington Back in the UK, and we made a weekend trip to Yorkshire complete with an overnight stay.

Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 8
Friday 30th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Friday was my last day in Copenhagen. We’d planned it so that we all travelled home the day after the workshop finished so that people could stay behind and socialise on Thursday evening as opposed to the usual routine of people being distracted in the last hour or…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Days 5, 6 and 7
Tuesday 27th – Thursday 29th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were mostly about the workshop, and thus about work, but we did manage to have some fun as well. I started Tuesday with a run in the neighbouring park, where I managed to get lost and ended up covering a lot…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 4
Monday 26th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Monday was Lynne’s last day in Copenhagen, with a mid-afternoon flight back to the UK. We had one more breakfast at the Danmark, outside in the courtyard, and then walked over to buy tickets for Tivoli for the day. We’d saved it till last partly because it, unlike…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 3
Sunday 25th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Sunday got off to a slowish start, probably because Saturday had been pretty full on. We decided we would go and visit Rosenborg Castle and see what else we fancied doing around the area if we had time. After another outdoor breakfast we walked from the hotel (around…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 2
Saturday 24th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a good night’s sleep, I was all set to go and parkrun somewhere in Copenhagen, preferably at Amager strandpark. I sorted my kit out and looked up the route I’d use to get there (about half a dozen stops on the metro), downloaded the DOT app to…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 1
Friday 23rd June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Covid meant that I hadn’t seen my colleagues in Copenhagen face to face since January 2020. It also meant neither of us had been anywhere outside the UK for three years. A week long workshop at HQ in Copenhagen was going to be my first trip and provided…
Travel 2019 – Hamburg, Day 5
Monday, 2nd December 2019 – Hamburg Feeling a lot better than I had on Sunday, we had breakfast (I still wasn’t risking anything more solid than yogurt, followed by scrambled eggs) and then we packed up our bags, checked out of our room, and left our luggage with the hotel while we headed off to…
Travel 2019 – Hamburg, Days 1 and 2
Thursday, 28th November/Friday, 29th November 2019 – Hamburg We always aim to go somewhere that has plenty of Christmas markets, and plenty of other things to see and do as well for the first weekend in Advent, and so this year we headed to Hamburg, in the North of Germany, for our “get in the…
Travel 2019 – Leicestershire Weekend, Day 2, Stoneywell Cottage, Ulverscroft
Sunday, 13th October 2019 – Stoneywell Cottage, Ulverscroft On Sunday, after a run along the Soar which really didn’t show me Leicester’s best side (it was a nasty cold morning with steady rainfall and the river runs through what can only be described as a post-industrial wasteland), I returned to the hotel to shower. We…
