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 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/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…
Travel 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen
Monday, 22nd/Thursday, 25th May 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen May in Copenhagen made a welcome change as otherwise I only seemed to be getting there when it was cold and dark, and while the place has its charms even in those conditions, it’s far pleasanter in the summer months. The difference was noticeable…
Food 2017 – Roux at Parliament Square, Riesling Wine Dinner
Wednesday 17th May, 2017 – Riesling Wine Dinner, Roux at Parliament Square It’s marginally easier to get a table at Roux at Parliament Square than it is at parent-restaurant Le Gavroche (which is to say we’ve been to Parliament Square twice now and I’ve only ever managed to get a table at Le Gavroche once,…
Travel 2017 – A Suggested London Itinerary
Three Days in London Let’s assume you have three days to spare in London. Here’s what I’d suggest: Day 1 You could start at Borough Market and maybe have a late breakfast/early lunch there instead of at your hotel. In fact if you set your mind to it you can eat your way into a…
Food 2017 – Eneko, One Aldwych, London
Saturday 26th March, 2017 – The Lobby Bar and Eneko, One Aldwych, London A post-theatre dinner here was on the cards after much enthusiasm in certain press quarters about the food at Eneko, somewhere on the premises of One Aldwych. It helped that the cuisine in question is meant to be Basque and as a…
Travel/Food 2017 – Copenhagen
Monday 20th March – Friday 24th March, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a week in January and three in February it was a pleasure to be back in Copenhagen in what theoretically should have been better weather and more daylight. You would not have thought it on my arrival. It was absolutely throwing it down…
Food 2017 – Alberto K, Copenhagen
Friday February 12th, 2017 – Alberto K, Radisson Blu Royal, Copenhagen Although not normally a big fan of hotel restaurants (they can swing wildly in my experience between averagely bland to downright horrible, and are usually overpriced, the Radisson Blu Royal’s sister-hotel in Copenhagen, the Scandinavia, being a case in point) this didn’t stop me…
Food/Travel 2017 – Copenhagen (Week 1)
Sunday 5th February to Thursday 9th February, 2017 – Copenhagen February may not be the best time to visit Copenhagen, especially in a snowstorm, but I didn’t have much choice as my new employers sent me out here for three weeks to complete a gruelling, brain-frying training course. I opted not to fly home each…
