Sunday 25th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Sunday got off to a slowish start, probably because Saturday had been pretty full on. We decided we would go and visit Rosenborg Castle and see what else we fancied doing around the area if we had time. After another outdoor breakfast we walked from the hotel (around…

Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 2
Saturday 24th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a good night’s sleep, I was all set to go and parkrun somewhere in Copenhagen, preferably at Amager strandpark. I sorted my kit out and looked up the route I’d use to get there (about half a dozen stops on the metro), downloaded the DOT app to…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 1
Friday 23rd June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Covid meant that I hadn’t seen my colleagues in Copenhagen face to face since January 2020. It also meant neither of us had been anywhere outside the UK for three years. A week long workshop at HQ in Copenhagen was going to be my first trip and provided…
Food 2020 – The German Gymnasium, London
Tuesday 10th March, 2020 – The German Gymnasium, London This was the last meal I ate out prior to the Covid-19 lockdown kicking in. And it wasn’t planned at all. I’d been in the office rather than working from home, and had walked back to Euston from the City as per usual. I arrived at…
Food 2020 – Pompette, Oxford
Saturday 8th February, 2020 – Pompette, Oxford Oxford is a strange city in food terms (not as dire as Cambridge, though it remains a mystery given the amount of money washing around as to why precisely there aren’t many good and/or high end restaurants in either city). However, of late Oxford has improved considerably, with…
Food 2020 – Lino, London
Wednesday 22nd January, 2020 – Lino, London It is quite possible that Lino, which only opened towards the end of 2018, may have crashed and burned in the Covid-19 lockdown of the City of London. If so, that would be a great pity. I went there with colleagues, one of whom was picking up the…
Food 2020 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton
Sunday 12th January, 2020 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton As it was my birthday, and I didn’t want to do any cooking (much as I enjoy it normally) we decided it would be good to head out for lunch somewhere not too far away. That meant I was looking at no more than 20…
Travel 2019 – Hamburg, Days 1 and 2
Thursday, 28th November/Friday, 29th November 2019 – Hamburg We always aim to go somewhere that has plenty of Christmas markets, and plenty of other things to see and do as well for the first weekend in Advent, and so this year we headed to Hamburg, in the North of Germany, for our “get in the…
Food 2019 – Leicestershire Weekend, Day 1, Case, The White Peacock, Leicester
Saturday, 12th October 2019 – Case, The White Peacock, Leicester Trying to find somewhere for dinner in Leicester proved less challenging that I might have expected given that most food guides display a massive empty space in the midlands, with just the odd oasis of hospitality, though if I’d stuck to Michelin we’d have had…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 15, Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals
Friday, 27th September 2019 – Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals We had another deal where our dinner was included in our room rate, and so we didn’t need to worry too much about where we should go that evening. All we needed to do was get our act together and wander down to the ground…
