Monday, May 7th – Day 3, Troyes, Etoges Monday morning dawned sunny and clear so I set off for a run around the village. It wasn’t easy to cover much mileage without having to test every side road available, unless I wanted to run along the main roads. Given the sheer volume of farm traffic…

Food 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton
Friday, 13th April 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton And so, knowing we would be out at the Errol Flynn Filmhouse later in the evening, we decided we’d have a second shot at Hibiscus, the fine dining restaurant (their words, not mine, but it is justifiable) tucked away inside the building. We’d booked in early with intent…
Travel 2018 – Vienna (Ideas for Tourists)
Monday, 19th March 2018 – Vienna Ideas To an extent this was a post for a very specific person back in 2005, but it was also a very useful exercise for me as a planning post – I’ve rechecked all the links and they are fully up to date so when next I visit it…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 4
Monday, February 19th 2018 – Monaco It was our last day but we had plenty of time (and a late check-out at the hotel) so we took our own sweet time getting packed and ready to check out, having a cup of coffee while we enjoyed the views from the room over the harbour, and…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 3
Sunday, February 18th 2018 – Monaco After some pretty questionable weather we woke on Sunday to blue skies, bright sunshine and just the sort of weather we’d be hoping for. After another very pleasant breakfast we took the lift to the top floor of the hotel and set off towards the Casino, getting side-tracked by…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 2
Saturday, February 17th 2018 – Monaco A late start was called for after a good night’s sleep. We aimed for a 10:00am breakfast, missed by 15 minutes, and finally got our act into gear to go out a little after 11. We’d decided that, despite the fact that we pretty much know Monte Carlo like…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 1
Friday, 16th February 2018 – Vence, Monaco And so for Lynne’s 60th birthday weekend away we found ourselves on a stupid o’clock BA flight from Heathrow to Nice where we picked up a hire car (after a certain amount of trying to battle our way through the chaos that is the building work going on…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 6
Tuesday December 5th – Day 6, Krakow Tuesday was our last day and so after breakfast we tidied up the apartment, dropped off the keys and hauled our suitcases to the offices of the travel company who would be responsible for taking us to the airport in the evening. We were there just before 09:00…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 5
Monday December 4th – Day 5, Krakow Monday was something of a challenge as many, many things in Krakow are closed on Mondays. Note to self for future reference: check carefully what days you plan on being in a city for a Winter break and adjust accordingly if every major sight will be closed. However,…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 4
Sunday December 3rd – Day 4, Krakow Sunday was the day we aimed to see the most famous painting in Krakow, Leonardo da Vinci‘s “Lady with an Ermine“, or as we had it “Lady with a Ferret”! She used to be on show at Wawel Castle, but is now securely lodged in the National Museum’s…
