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 – Alsace and Baden, Day 10, Mulhouse
Sunday, 22nd September 2019 – Mulhouse I started the morning with a run around the very quiet streets surrounding the apartment. The weather was still fine and sunny, despite forecasts suggesting that was about to change (it didn’t) and discovered both the hideous concrete monstrosity that is the nearby church, and also the whereabouts of…
Music 2018 – Distant Sky: Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Live in Copenhagen, The Errol Flynn Filmhouse, Northampton
Friday, 13th April 2018 – Distant Sky: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live in Copenhagen, The Errol Flynn Filmhouse, Northampton I now know what the soundtrack to the apocalypse will sound like, should such a thing occur (and given the state of world politics right now, it seems a distinct possibility). It will sound…
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…
Food/Travel 2017 – Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, Mere, London
Saturday 9th September, 2017 – Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London On Saturday we headed off into town to catch up on another exhibition we’d been after getting too for some time, an audio-visual extravaganza on the life and times of Pink Floyd, titled “Their Mortal Remains” at the Victoria and…
Food/Travel 2017 – Copenhagen (Week 3)
Monday 20th February to Friday 24th February, 2017 – Copenhagen So one more week in Copenhagen and slowly going nuts in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia because actually three weeks in the same hotel is too long for anyone. The first night of the week I didn’t really feel like going far so wandered out with…
Music 2016 – Erja Lyytinen, The Stables, Wavendon
Sunday, 1st October 2016 – Erja Lyytinen, The Stables, Wavendon, Milton Keynes A Sunday night in October at The Stables in Wavendon, and there we were, yet again crammed into the Stage2 space waiting for something interesting! In this case, the act was Erja Lyytinen, a Finnish blues guitar player who, I confess, I had…
Art 2016 – Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones, Saatchi Gallery
Sunday, August 28th 2016 – Saatchi Gallery, London Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones at the Saatchi Gallery proved to be a surprisingly worthwhile investment of £25.00 each. We initially felt that was a bit steep for gallery entry, but actually, unlike a lot of specially mounted exhibitions we have been to it was a very enjoyable…
Travel 2016 – Savonlinna, Day 12
Day 12, Saturday 16th July (Savonlinna) Moose count = does a photo of a moose count? The day started with a quick trip to the market to get supplies to have with the lörtsy for dinner, and to extact some items from the car like maps and guidebooks. The kauppatori at Savonlinna is smaller than…
Travel 2016 – Tampere, Jyvaskyla, Juva, Savonlinna, Day 11
Day 11, Friday 15th July (Tampere, Jyvaskyla, Juva, Savonlinna) Moose count = not a damn one, no moose here, why do you ask? This was another travelling day. We needed to be in Savonlinna by 16:00 at the latest so we made a reasonably early start and dragged all of our luggage back downstairs from the…
