Sunday, February 18th 2018 – Monaco After some pretty questionable weather we woke on Sunday to blue skies, bright sunshine and just the sort of weather we’d be hoping for.

Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 2
Saturday, February 17th 2018 – Monaco A late start was called for after a good night’s sleep. We aimed for a 10:00am breakfast, missed by 15 minutes, and finally got our act into gear to go out a little after 11. We’d decided that, despite the fact that we pretty much know Monte Carlo like…

Friday, 16th February 2018 – Vence, Monaco And so for Lynne’s 60th birthday weekend away we found ourselves on a stupid o’clock BA flight from Heathrow to Nice where we picked up a hire car (after a certain amount of trying to battle our way through the chaos that is the building work going on…

Saturday December 2nd – Day 3, Krakow I started the day with a 5k run as Krakow has a parkrun of its own. Leaving Lynne in the lovely, warm apartment I headed out into the cold, layered up with every piece of running gear I had with me (vest, sweater, jacket, two head-protectors, gloves, the…

Friday December 1st – Day 2, Krakow Having arrived when we did the night before, we had no food available in the apartment (we could have done a small amount of shopping in one of the many 24 hour “supermarkets” that Carrefour run in Krakow but couldn’t be bothered) so we had a quick hot…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 1
Thursday November 30th – Day 1, London, Krakow And so, after a number of years, we finally made it to Krakow. Back in the day (about 7 year’s ago) the company I worked for acquired a Polish company, and I went out there on business a couple of times. The first time was in early…
