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…

Food 2017 – Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau And so to dinner on the very first day of the holiday. I’m not sure why but I was a bit surprised on looking at dining options for the hotel to discover that in addition to a hotel restaurant, and a bistro-type establishment,…
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…
Travel/Food 2017 – Gorilla, Copenhagen
Monday, 4th/Tuesday, 5th September 2017 – Gorilla, Copenhagen And so once more to Copenhagen on business, this time with no choice but to stay at the accursed Radisson Blu Scandinavia. Didn’t stop me and my colleague Andy from having a good dinner though! He has got into the habit of either eating in the hotel…
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 – The London Shell Company, Regent’s Park Canal
Saturday 24th June, 2017 – The London Shell Company, Regent’s Canal, London There’s been quite a bit of buzz around the London Shell Company of late, with reviewers including Jay Rayner (whose opinion I value) loving it, and Michel Roux Jr featuring it in his Hidden Restaurants programme. For Saturday evenings the barge heads off…
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 4, Tuusula, Finland
Monday 12th June, 2017 – Tuusula, Finland And so, after a gloriously sunny Sunday, we were back in the gloom on Monday, with a cold damp morning and increasing drizzle. It was time to go home anyway, and we’d had a text from Finnair suggesting that, as it was the first day of the Summer…
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…
