Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4
Thursday 12th January, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4 British Airways while I was away introduced their new “improved” cabin service. Now while I will grant that the ham and cheese croissant I was offered on the way out was a long way from gourmet food, it was at least included in the price of my…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Days 2-3
Monday 9th to Wednesday 11th January, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark Here are a few more reflections on my first visit to Copenhagen.

Monday January 9th, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark A new year, a new country and a city that was on my list of “would be nice for a long weekend”, Copenhagen. As it is I’m here for work for three days, flying back on Thursday, but work has never stopped me being curious about my surroundings,…

Food 2016 – Moro, London
Saturday, 17th December 2016 – Moro, Exmouth Market, London After a visit to Sadler’s Wells, which is not exactly the most central of London’s theatres, it’s become almost a tradition for us to go to the splendid Moro for an early dinner. Well, if you can call three times a tradition. I think you probably…
Theatre 2016 – The Red Shoes, Sadler’s Wells, London
Saturday, 17th December 2016 – The Red Shoes, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London Above is a photo of the ceiling in Sadler’s Wells Theatre where we recently saw the latest of Sir Matthew Bourne’s splendid dance creations, “The Red Shoes“. Bourne’s imagination, at least where dance is concerned, has always been what you might describe as…
Food 2016 – Bian Dang, London
Wednesday, December 14th 2016 – Bian Dang, Kerb on the Quay, London A fine dry day, one more week of Kerb on the Quay left, and about to no longer work nearby, I decided that despite the cold, I’d scoot out in pursuit of a final Kerb fix for 2016. I was briefly distracted by…
