Friday, 6th July 2018 – York With the lure of Europe’s first pop-up Shakespearean theatre, the Rose, to tempt us north to York, we decided it was a good excuse for a short break in a city I used to know well after numerous trips there with school or for that matter with my parents….

Saturday, 30th June 2018 – Balans Seven Dials Café, Aquavit, London In London on a boiling hot day for a trip to the theatre (of which more elsewhere), we were at a bit of a loss as to where to go between the show ending and our dinner reservation nearby. A stroll north from Saint…

Tuesday, May 22nd/Wednesday, May 23rd – Days 18 and 19, Larrabetzu, Bilbao, Portsmouth, Home Up early, we found the drive to the ferry port was very easy, and very quick, from the hotel. We hadn’t booked breakfast, because we figured on getting something on the ferry, and so check out was quick and easy, even…
Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 13, Pugnac, Bordeaux, Bourg, Blaye
Thursday, May 17th – Day 13, Pugnac, Bordeaux, Bourg, Blaye My day once again started with a run through the vineyards, this time running down every single side road I could find, before returning, hot and sweaty, to the house. A brisk shower and breakfast, and we were off in the general direction of Bordeaux…
Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 8, Pau
Saturday, May 12th – Day 8, Pau Having basked in the sunshine on Friday, Saturday came as a bit of a shock to our systems. We woke to find low cloud and the Pyrenees had disappeared overnight, as they are occasionally wont to do. We hung about on the Boulevard for a short while but…

Tuesday, 27th March 2018 – Elsie’s Cafe, The Lane Restaurant, Northampton I’ve been following Elsie’s Cafe for a while now on social media.

Travel 2018 – Vienna (Ideas for Tourists)
Monday, 19th March 2018 – Vienna Ideas To an extent this was a post for a very specific person back in 2005, but it was also a very useful exercise for me as a planning post – I’ve rechecked all the links and they are fully up to date so when next I visit it…
Travel 2018 – Chichester
Saturday, 16th March 2018 – Chichester We had tickets for the Sunday of the Goodwood Members’ Meeting this year and rather than haul out of bed at stupid o’clock we’d booked an Airbnb place in Chichester for the Saturday night so we could go down in good order and not have to worry about the…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 4
Monday, February 19th 2018 – Monaco It was our last day but we had plenty of time (and a late check-out at the hotel) so we took our own sweet time getting packed and ready to check out, having a cup of coffee while we enjoyed the views from the room over the harbour, and…
