Saturday, 3rd August 2019 – Harewood House, Harewood, Leeds I’m sure I must have been to Harewood House at some time during my years growing up in Yorkshire, though I have no memory whatsoever of doing so. We had relatives in Leeds, and visited frequently from Hull, but as I say I have no recall…

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 2019 – Porto, Street Art
Thursday, 11th July/Monday, 15th July 2019 – Porto, Street Art Street art seems to be very much a thing of the moment, and I’d heard rumours that Porto had quite a lot. It may well do, but we really didn’t find much on this trip. Perhaps we were looking in the wrong places, perhaps it’s…
Travel 2019 – Porto, Day 5
Monday, 15th July 2019 – Porto, Day 5 Monday was our final day in Porto, but between a late checkout (at 4pm) and an even later flight (9pm) we had a whole day to enjoy further. We were slightly restricted as to where we could go by the fact that quite a lot of touristy…
Travel 2019 – Porto, Day 4
Sunday, 14th July 2019 – Porto, Day 4 I went running again to start the day, this time heading downhill from the hotel and running along the river. When I’d finished I cheated by taking the funicular back up to the top level of the bridge because it was far too humid to use my…
Travel 2019 – Porto, Day 3
Saturday, 13th July 2019 – Porto, Day 3 After a run from the hotel that seemed to go ridiculously uphill all the way, Saturday morning seemed like a good time to start on a tour of some of the main attractions of Porto, beginning with the Sé do Porto (Porto Cathedral), partly because it was…
Travel 2019 – Barcelona, Day 3
Thursday, 13th June 2019 – Barcelona, Day 3 We’d been late to bed the night before (too busy putting the world, or at least some aspects of it, to rights over drinks) but I was keen to get an earlyish start to what had now opened up as a free day in Barcelona. Unlike my…
Travel 2019 – Barcelona, Day 2
Wednesday, 12th June 2019 – Barcelona, Day 2 We hit the ground running first thing in the morning, rattled through the work at a great pace, and finished everything by around 16:30, to our great surprise. I think we’d all expected to need longer but we were all pretty well focussed and it’s amazing what…
Theatre 2019 – Richard III, Royal and Derngate, Northampton
Saturday, 25th May 2019 – Richard III, Royal and Derngate Theatre, Northampton Well, that was… interesting. I think that’s the word I’m going to go with. Lynne probably had it best when she said it was very much the ITV version of Richard III. My take was it was Richard III but it wasn’t Shakespeare…
Events 2019 – Number 1 Court Celebration, Wimbledon
Sunday, 19th May 2019 – No. 1 Court, All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon, London It’s been some time since I last managed to get tickets to go to Wimbledon during the Championships, but this year I did manage to snag a pair of tickets to go to the No. Court Celebration, held a month…
