Saturday, 4th March 2006 – Oxford College reunions can be dangerous! Where do I start? Good question. There wasn’t anything to suggest the weekend was going to get badly derailed, at least not to begin with. I treated myself to a gym session early on Saturday, knowing we’d be eating lunch and dinner in Oxford,…

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/Food 2005 – Macau
Saturday, 12th/Tuesday 22nd November 2005 – Macau We wasted a lot of the day at the airport, but it was worth checking in early to get the extra legroom seats on the plane. Virgin now sell these seats, at £50 extra each. They were, however, doing a promotion of buy one get one free, so…
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…
Theatre 2005 – Swan Lake, Milton Keynes Theatre
Friday, 28th October 2005 – Swan Lake, Milton Keynes Theatre Last night we went to Milton Keynes Theatre for the first time. The reason was Matthew Bourne‘s Swan Lake (yes, the one with the male swans). There was a massively full house, probably partly because Northampton’s two theatres are both closed for the foreseeable future…
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…
Music 2005 – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Alexandra Palace, London
Thursday, 25th August 2005 – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Some of you will know just how much I was looking forward to seeing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds last night. That’ll teach me. I will never, ever go to another gig at the Alexandra Palace. It’s completely unsuitable for the purpose, and…
Travel/Food 2005 – Monza, Italy
Thursday, 7th to Monday, 11th July 2005 – Monza I know I only had three days out of the office, but it still felt like a holiday to me. It started on Wednesday evening, when Skil and Clivio flew in so that Clivio could compete in the GP2 Race, supporting the British Grand Prix at…
