Sunday September 24th – Day 2 Â – Nennig, Konz, Trier After a truly awful run through what seemed to be very steep vineyards (not helped by the fog that had dropped down overnight or the amount of food eaten the night before) we got our act together, had a lovely breakfast, and checked out of…

Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 1
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Eurotunnel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany And so the long awaited “big” holiday of 2017 rolled around and after much complicated planning we were off to spend two weeks (almost) meandering along the course of the Mosel (or the Moselle as the Brits call it), visiting castles, implausibly pretty little…
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 2017 – More Local Food Options, Northamptonshire
These reviews result from being asked to help out with a series of mystery shopper trips to pubs lined up for some local food awards. The deal was we would be told where to go, and would pay for our own meals. As a result of needing to use the report forms, these reviews may…
Food 2017 – The Crazy Bear, Stadhampton
Friday 4th August, 2017 – The Crazy Bear (Thai Restaurant), Stadhampton We’d been to the Crazy Bear in Stadhampton before using a Groupon but we hadn’t tried a set meal in the Thai restaurant. This time we were going the whole hog. It was a lovely evening when we arrived, the sun shining, so we…
Food 2017 – Nelson Street Restaurant, Buckingham
Saturday July 1st, 2017 – Nelson Street Restaurant, Buckingham It’s always exciting when you find a new restaurant that looks like it might plug the almighty hole in the “fine-dining” category that is the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire area. For a patch of the country that contains a fair amount of disposable income it’s always seemed odd that…
Food 2017 – Local Food Options, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire
We had a busy few weeks trying out or revisiting a variety of restaurants around and about our home town and some of them are worth making a note of here for one or another reason! I’ll tackle them in alphabetic order I think. Sunday 30th April, 2017 – The Narrow Boat, Weedon Bec We…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 3, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Sunday June 11th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland And so on Sunday, having spent Saturday half-frozen, the temperature went up by around 12 degrees Celsius, and pretty much all of the town seemed to be out and about in shorts, and sunburned noses. We made our way to the circuit where we enjoyed some very fine…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 1, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Friday June 9th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna, Finland We learned quite a lot on our most recent trip to Finland, starting with “just because it’s June, don’t expect it to be warm!” and rounding up to “there is absolutely sod all to do in Hämeenlinna on a Sunday night after 9pm”! It was probably the latter…
2017 Food – Rascill’s, Raskelf
Sunday 27th May, 2017 – Rascill’s, Raskelf I need to say this. Rascill’s is one of those restaurants I absolutely love. I just wish I didn’t live so far away (162 miles) or I’d be there at least once a month! Our trip to Hull gave us the perfect excuse to detour slightly on our…
