Thursday September 28th – Day 6, Saxler’s Restaurant And so, as planned the day before, we duly presented ourselves at Saxler’s Restaurant in the Hotel St. Stephanus for what promised to be a far better dinner than we’d had the night before! Not that that would have been difficult. The charming lady, who I suspect…

Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 6
Thursday September 28th – Day 6, Urzig, Wehlen Thursday was devoted to some localised sightseeing and some serious wine tasting and buying that saw us range up and down the river as far as Urzig and Wehlen (about 3k in either direction from Zeltingen) after a morning of museums. The morning started with another run…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 5
Wednesday September 27th – Day 5, Bernkastel-Kues After slightly more driving than anticipated the day before we decided we’d take it easier on Wednesday and would spend the day pottering gently round Bernkastel-Kues, just 5k down the road. It was another foggy morning but we weren’t going to let that stop us. It boded well…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 3
Monday September 25th – Day 3, Trier, Neumagen-Dhron, Veldenz, Zeltingen-Rachtig On Monday we were still with the Romans, starting the day at the Amphitheatre, which was just down the road from our hotel. The day again started with fog on the heights, and it was chilly and damp, which may have been why we pretty…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 2
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,…

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…
