Wednesday, 12th/Thursday, 14th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 5 to 7 Well, I wouldn’t like to go through Wednesday morning again. It was raining when I got up, it was raining when I met my instructor for lesson two, and it was raining all the way through the first 45 minutes of the two hour…

Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4
Saturday, 8th/Tuesday, 11th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4 I got home latish on the Friday night (that’s the trouble with going on holiday – there’s always a ton of stuff to do at work before you go but I’d promised so I did a 10-hour day), which of course meant I spent…
Food 2008 – La Strada, Artisan
Friday, 16th/Saturday, 17th February 2008 – La Strada, Artisan It was a busy weekend – far busier than is good for me, I think, but it was also fun. Friday night the Hulse clan landed on our doorstep to help celebrate Lynne’s birthday, so we duly drank kir while waiting for Gordon and Angela to…
Food 2008 – Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons
Wednesday, 13th February 2008 – Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons, Great Milton So, it was both my Mum and Lynne’s birthdays, and to celebrate, what with it being Lynne’s 50th and Mum’s 81st, we were booked in at the splendid – nay utterly wonderful – le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons. We got up slowly, the…

Sunday, 11th February 2008 – Recipes (Xinxim de Galinha, Feijão Vegetariano, Arroz and Couve à Moda de Minas Gerais) Well, it was quite a weekend… and I’ve come back to work for a rest yet again. It’s Lynne’s 50th birthday this week, so we threw a party on Saturday. That meant a fair amount of…
Food 2008 – Recipes (Brigadeiros)

Food 2007 – Brussels
November 2007 – Brussels (Food, Glorious Food!) OK, so here’s the perennial food-lover’s dilemma in the UK. It’s lunchtime (or dinnertime) and you haven’t packed something to eat or bought something to cook. You want to go out. Your choices tend to be incredibly polarised. You don’t want to spend much? Well, there’s the greasy…
Travel 2007 – Hong Kong, Day 10
Tuesday, 20th November 2007 – Hong Kong, Day 10 Tuesday got off to an even slower start than Monday, largely because it had all caught up with us finally. With a 4pm checkout time courtesy of my Priority Club Ambassador membership, we were in real hurry. We finished up sorting the photos so they could…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Hong Kong, Day 9
Monday, 19th November 2007 – Macau, Hong Kong, Day 9 Bloody BMW… Their post race party was very, very good indeed, which was why when I woke up I felt as if someone had sandpapered my eyeballs, my throat was sore and clogged and my nose was horribly blocked up. I could have used several…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 8
Sunday, 18th November 2007 – Macau, Day 8 I made another early start on Sunday, figuring that it might be interesting to get out for the warm up at 8 am and take some pictures of the WTCC cars as well as our boys. So I set the alarm for 7, got up, and gulped…
