Saturday 11th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 1 Being in Copenhagen for work again, this time for three solid weeks, I was in the fortunate position of being able to fly home or have my partner flown out to me for one weekend of the two. I opted to stay put and let the company…

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…
Food 2017 – The Crazy Bear, Stadhampton
Saturday January 21st, 2017 – The Crazy Bear Thai Restaurant, Stadhampton, Oxfordshire Back when I was a student (sometime in the Jurassic period I think) we used occasionally, provided someone had transport available, to head out of Oxford in search of pubs, and would often end up at Stadhampton, in a fine if somewhat eccentric…
Food 2017 – Galvin at the Athenaeum, London
Saturday, 14th January 2017 – Galvin at the Athenaeum, London Partly to celebrate my birthday a couple of days previous t0 the event, partly because we had a Groupon to use, Lynne and I spent the afternoon at the theatre (at the Royal Court Theatre, seeing “The Children”) and then headed off down towards Picadilly…
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,…
Events 2016 – Christmas at Blenheim, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock
Tuesday 27th December, 2016 – Christmas at Blenheim, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock Everyone’s doing it these days it seems, so after a bit of discussion we decided we would go and try out the Christmas light display at Blenheim Palace, a 40 minute drive away from home.

Food 2016 – Vibin’s, Buckingham (2nd Visit)
Saturday 24th December, 2016 – Vibin’s, Buckingham Back in the day we used to go to the Roade House for lunch/dinner on Christmas Eve, on the basis that I’d be doing all the cooking for the next few days and could use a day off before the big event. With the retirement of Sue and…
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…
