Wednesday, 15th November 2006 – Macau Needless to say, there wasn’t enough sleep. My alarm went off at 7.15, and I lurched off to the gym for a session on the exercise bike to try and combat the food excesses this place provides! After that it was breakfast followed by a shopping trip. Having discovered…

Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 4
Tuesday, 14th November 2006 – Macau Tuesday was a dismal sort of day weather-wise. However, we didn’t let that stop us. Breakfast was marginally better organised than it had been the day before, though the actual food was still poorly labelled, and there’s no decent bread to be had, only white that looks and feels…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 3
Monday, 13th November 2006 – Macau Monday I got up just before 8 and went off to investigate the hotel gym. It proved to be precisely 5 pieces of equipment, none of them a treadmill, on the 23rd floor, with the French windows open to the elements and more importantly the humid Macanese air. I…
Travel 2006 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Days 1 – 2
Saturday, 11th/Sunday, 12th November 2006 – London, Hong Kong, Macau Saturday went pretty much as you’d expect. We left for Heathrow at 12.30, and even taking the long way round we were there in plenty of time to hand over the car to the Purple Parking attendant (who, disappointingly, wasn’t at all purple) who takes…
Travel 2006 – London, Lacock
Friday, 27th/Sunday, 29th October 2006 – London, Lacock The weekend? What can I say? Well, it was packed, hectic and pretty damn wonderful in all sorts of ways. It just doesn’t seem to have involved enough sleep! Friday started out well, and I worked from home in the morning, while Lynne was out getting her…
Food 2005 – The Vine House, Paulerspury, Northamptonshire
Dinner last night was very fine indeed as we finally made a trip to the Vine House.Even though we were the only people in the restaurant… it made us feel a little guilty, because without us they could have packed up early! Anyway, we started with Kir Royales, because the lovely Julie Springett, who is…
Travel 2005 – Germany
Saturday, 29th October/Sunday, 30th October 2005 – Essen, Germany Friday was the usual routine once we made it to the airport – we headed straight to the seafood place for a meal, then walked to the gate just in time for our flight to Düsseldorf. At the other end it was a quick drive to…
Travel 2005 – Valencia, Spain
Friday, 21st October/Saturday, 22nd October 2005 – Valencia Friday got off to a bad start with torrential rain all over Southern England, and us needing to get to Gatwick Airport to fly out to Spain. The 2005 Girls’ Weekend Away was scheduled to start as soon as we got to the airport. Lynne, Steffy and…
Travel 2005 – Mondello Park, Malahide, Ireland
Saturday, 22nd/Sunday 23rd, September 2005 – Mondello Park, Malahide, Ireland Flying out of anywhere at 07.00 is way too early, especially when they want you to be at the airport at least 40 minutes prior to the flight. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza near to Heathrow overnight, and failed to get any dinner (apart…
Travel 2005 – Germany
5th September 2005 A Weekend At The Races So we had quite a weekend in Germany. For those of you who want to know about it, here it is! It isn’t all cars… Thursday didn’t start off too well, with the damn car having another nervous breakdown, and me ending up having to coax it…
