Tuesday, 11th June 2019 – Los Caracoles, Barcelona Tasked with finding restaurants to suit the colleagues with whom I was in Barcelona, I consulted the hive mind known as my Facebook friends and of the seven responses I got, all bar one of them suggested the historic hostelry known as Los Caracoles (or The Snails),…

Travel 2019 – Barcelona, Day 1
Tuesday, 11th June 2019 – Barcelona I was in Barcelona for a workshop with 11 of my colleagues, starting on the Tuesday, with everyone scheduled to arrive at various times during the day. The plan was that we would have the rest of the day to potter around and sight-see, go out for dinner in…
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…
Food 2018/2019 – Guildhall Lunch Market, London
Thursday 6th December 2018/Thursday, 10th January/Thursday, 25th April/Thursday, 23rd May 2019 – Food (Jollof Mama, Simply Paella, Nikskitchen, Parson’s Nose) The Guild Hall Lunch Market is a fine thing as far as I’m concerned, as it brings a variety of street food traders all together in one place, and unlike say the weekly Kerb market…
Food 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London
Wednesday, 22nd May 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London This one was not of my choosing – it was a work-related dinner – but turned out to be much better than you might expect of a restaurant in an hotel (the Crowne Plaza Blackfriars). With a group of 13 of us booked to dine…
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…
Food 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
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…
Food 2019 – Recipes (Carla’s Potato and Mushroom Bake)
Friday, 3rd May 2019 – Recipes (Carla’s Potato and Mushroom Bake) I was stuck with an unplanned vegetable box from Abel & Cole (I left it too late to say I didn’t want one this week) and thus needed to find ways of using what I had. This recipe came up in the Guardian the…
Food 2019 – Sunday Lunch at the Muddy Duck, Hethe
Sunday, 5th May 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Having tested the “normal” small plates menu at the Muddy Duck a couple of weekends back, we headed that way again over the recent bank holiday weekend to try out Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration for one of our closest friends. Would they measure up?…
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…
