Saturday, 5th February 2011 – Halibut, Eat at 23, Buckingham, Brackley It started out normally enough in that I went running first thing (4 miles at a gentle pace), but it got away from us a bit after that. We had always planned to head for Buckingham and a trip to Halibut to stock up…

Running 2010 – Silverstone Half Marathon, Silverstone
19th October 2010 – My Next Running Task, Silverstone Half Marathon, Silverstone Well, in between updating the Monte Carlo trip I reckoned I’d add some other bits and pieces of information before I start trying to catch up with everyone else’s news (and if there is something you really think I should see, please link…

Saturday, 16th/Sunday, 17th October 2010 – Monaco, Vence, Valbonne, Days 4 and 5 Saturday we again got off to a slow start – though I did slot in my training run (13k) before breakfast (having watched Nico Hulkenberg vanish into the distance outside – I never saw him come back).

Travel 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3
Friday, 15th October 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3 Friday morning I got up relatively early and went for a swim in the hotel pool – which was heart-stoppingly cold that early in the day. The sun was just coming up behind the building and hadn’t hit the water, but I soon warmed up and…

Running 2010 – Race for Life, Silverstone
Wednesday, 9th June 2010 – 10K Race for Life, Silverstone So finally 9th of June rolled around and all the training I had done was going to either pay off and I might be able to call myself a runner, or I was going to be horribly shown up as a fraud and end up…
Food 2010 – Whites, Beverley
Saturday, 30th January 2010 – Whites, Beverley So, Saturday night (on a visit to Hull to see my Mum) we went to Whites in Beverley for dinner. I’d been once before and was sufficiently impressed to want to go back for a “proper” run the what looked to be very good cooking (despite a slightly…
