Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Eurotunnel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany And so the long awaited “big” holiday of 2017 rolled around and after much complicated planning we were off to spend two weeks (almost) meandering along the course of the Mosel (or the Moselle as the Brits call it), visiting castles, implausibly pretty little…

Saturday 9th September, 2017 – Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London On Saturday we headed off into town to catch up on another exhibition we’d been after getting too for some time, an audio-visual extravaganza on the life and times of Pink Floyd, titled “Their Mortal Remains” at the Victoria and…
Theatre 2017 – Macbeth, Iris Theatre Company
Saturday 24th June, 2017 – Macbeth, Iris Theatre Company, St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden On Saturday afternoon we attended a performance by the Iris Theatre Company of Macbeth at St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, also known as The Actors’ Church.

Travel 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull, Pocklington
Friday, 25th/Sunday, 27th May 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull (Hull), Pocklington As some of you may know, Hull – or more properly Kingston-upon-Hull – was 2017 UK City of Culture, with the result that there was much activity around the city, and beyond, to publicise it, and for that matter to share some of the art that…
Travel 2017 – A Suggested London Itinerary
Three Days in London Let’s assume you have three days to spare in London. Here’s what I’d suggest: Day 1 You could start at Borough Market and maybe have a late breakfast/early lunch there instead of at your hotel. In fact if you set your mind to it you can eat your way into a…
Travel/Food 2017 – Copenhagen
Monday 20th March – Friday 24th March, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a week in January and three in February it was a pleasure to be back in Copenhagen in what theoretically should have been better weather and more daylight.

Thursday March 16th, 2017 – London It was a glorious day for March in the UK on Thursday and when I came out of the gym after my regular morning swim I decided that rather than walk to work by the most direct route, I’d head down towards the river Thames and walk along till…
Travel 2017 – Etiquette for Tourists, London
Saturday 11th March 2017 – London This is not about visiting London, more about being a visitor to London. Dear London Tourists! We need to talk. Really, really we do. While I’m sure we all appreciate the amount of money you bring to the now-benighted-by-Brexit-UK, and we are grateful that you buy all that jam…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 2, Day 2
Sunday 19th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark A and I started our second day of sightseeing by making an early start to get across to the Round Tower for its 10am opening so we could get up to the top ahead of the crowds. A short metro ride (having finally learned to spot the metro…
Food/Travel 2017 – Copenhagen (Week 3)
Monday 20th February to Friday 24th February, 2017 – Copenhagen So one more week in Copenhagen and slowly going nuts in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia because actually three weeks in the same hotel is too long for anyone. The first night of the week I didn’t really feel like going far so wandered out with…
