Monday, 24th June 2019 – The Frog Hoxton, London “Harden’s Invites you to Dinner with Adam Handling at The Frog Hoxton“; that’s what the email said, coming through on the heels of our visit to the most upmarket of the Frog outposts in Covent Garden.

Travel 2019 – Barcelona, Day 3
Thursday, 13th June 2019 – Barcelona, Day 3 We’d been late to bed the night before (too busy putting the world, or at least some aspects of it, to rights over drinks) but I was keen to get an earlyish start to what had now opened up as a free day in Barcelona. Unlike my…
Food 2019 – Mont Bar, Barcelona
Wednesday, 12th June 2019 – Mont Bar, Barcelona While Tuesday night had been very touristy, Wednesday was at the other end of the scale, with some brilliantly inventive takes on pintxos, and some very good wines, in a much more elegant dining room.

Theatre 2019 – Richard III, Royal and Derngate, Northampton
Saturday, 25th May 2019 – Richard III, Royal and Derngate Theatre, Northampton Well, that was… interesting. I think that’s the word I’m going to go with. Lynne probably had it best when she said it was very much the ITV version of Richard III. My take was it was Richard III but it wasn’t Shakespeare…
Food 2018/2019 – Guildhall Lunch Market, London
Thursday 6th December 2018/Thursday, 10th January/Thursday, 25th April/Thursday, 23rd May 2019 – Food (Jollof Mama, Simply Paella, Nikskitchen, Parson’s Nose) The Guild Hall Lunch Market is a fine thing as far as I’m concerned, as it brings a variety of street food traders all together in one place, and unlike say the weekly Kerb market…
