Friday, 17th May 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants A couple more Weston Supper Club events came and went in May and July, with mixed results, the July event being far more successful than this one, which was disappointing in a number of ways. The Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants event was…

Travel 2019 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 5, Walk from Euston to Borough Market, London
Friday, 3rd May 2019 – Walk from Euston Station to Borough Market via the City, London You see the oddest things when you walk through London, even just the small quarter that tends to represent my regular beat. Sometimes there’s just no explanation for them, the most notable being the pink elephant in the Brunswick…

Friday, 23rd November 2018/Friday, 25th January 2019 – Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston Weston Hall is a somewhat crumbling small stately “pile” in the wilds of Northamptonshire (it’s a bugger to find, let me tell you, as it doesn’t seem to show up on any SatNav in any meaningful way – putting the postcode in…

Travel 2018 – Helsinki, Day 5
Monday, 3rd December 2018 – Helsinki On our last day, having been running already on the trip, I woke up early and decided that I was going to try out the new-ish (well, it was still under construction when we first visited) Allas Sea Pool complex down on the harbour side. I didn’t think I’d…
Travel 2018 – Helsinki, Day 4
Sunday, December 2nd 2018 – Helsinki, Day 4 Sunday we were back under cloudy skies, with the threat of snow, so we decided we’d do the Panorama Bus Tour (again included on the Helsinki Card) starting at 11:00, then grab some lunch at the Christmas Market because we’d not managed to have a Finnish sausage…
Travel 2018 – Helsinki, Day 3

Travel 2018 – Helsinki, Day 2
Friday, 30th November 2018 – Helsinki, Day 2 Friday started slowly, and we spent some time enjoying breakfast in the hotel (I’m told it’s been voted Finland’s best breakfast and though I can’t verify that, it is a very good breakfast indeed and is improved further by being included in the room rate, as is…
