Saturday, 24th November 2018 – Towcester I was having a mooch around the town at lunchtime, and had for once taken my phone with me. As a result I was able to take a batch of photos around the church, where the Armistice Day displays were about to be taken down, and around the new…

Theatre 2018 – King Lear, Duke of York’s Theatre, London
Saturday, September 29th 2018 – King Lear, Duke of York’s Theatre, London We swore after our 2016 “Year of Lear”, having seen Michael Pennington, Sir Anthony Sher and Dame Glenda Jackson all give superb if wildly different interpretations of the role, that we would spare ourselves the gloom of it for a while and would…
Travel 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine, Day 4
Thursday, 20th September 2018 – Kyiv, Day 4 We were due to leave on an early afternoon flight, and a car had been booked to pick us up at 11:30 so we figured we’d have time to go and see at least a tiny part of one of Kyiv’s greatest monuments, the Lavra (which was…
Travel 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine, Days 2 and 3
Tuesday, 18th September/Wednesday, 19th September 2018 – Kyiv, Days 2 and 3 Day 2 was manic and intense work-wise, and the only sightseeing that was done was from the seat of a mini bus taking us back and forth from the hotel to the office, mostly while stuck in traffic that wasn’t much going anywhere….
Travel 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine, Day 1
Monday, 17th September 2018 – Kyiv, Day 1 Finding myself in Kyiv for a 2-workshop and meeting session with the rest of the 12-strong team I am part of, the London contingent (two of us) were on the ground and in our hotel about 3 hours ahead of everyone else, so with the dispensation of…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London
Thursday, 13th September 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London It had to be done. I’d said nice things about the Duck Truck on Twitter and out of the blue they offered me a free lunch, so on a sunny Thursday lunchtime I decided I’d collect on the offer. I also…
Travel 2018 – Goodwood Revival, Goodwood
Sunday, 9th September 2018 – Goodwood Revival Meeting, Goodwood 2018 was the year of Goodwood for us. Having failed to get to any of the main meetings in previous years, largely because they tended to clash with international F3 meetings elsewhere in Europe, we’d pretty much given up on the idea. Last year, the club…
Travel 2018 – Fishbourne Roman Palace, Chichester
Saturday, 8th September 2018 – Fishbourne Roman Palace, Chichester I have no idea why but I’ve never been to Fishbourne Roman Palace. The only reason I can come up with is that we never went on holiday to Sussex (though I had an address there for a couple of decades – I didn’t do a…
Travel 2018 – Chernihiv, Ukraine
Thursday, 30th August 2018 – Chernihiv, Ukraine I have to say I would have been massively disappointed to go all the way to the north of Ukraine and then not see anything other than the road from the airport, and the resort hotel. On the way to our destination on the Tuesday, as we hit…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 3, Pedways/Highwalks, London
Thursday, 23rd August 2018 – Pedways and Highwalks, EC1 & EC2, London Another sunny lunchtime, another opportunity to circulate round the City of London getting fresh air (well at least once I got away from the main roads), some exercise and a look at some more of the history, both ancient and more recent, of…
