Monday, 15th July 2019 – Porto, Day 5 Monday was our final day in Porto, but between a late checkout (at 4pm) and an even later flight (9pm) we had a whole day to enjoy further. We were slightly restricted as to where we could go by the fact that quite a lot of touristy…

Travel 2019 – Porto, Day 3
Saturday, 13th July 2019 – Porto, Day 3 After a run from the hotel that seemed to go ridiculously uphill all the way, Saturday morning seemed like a good time to start on a tour of some of the main attractions of Porto, beginning with the Sé do Porto (Porto Cathedral), partly because it was…
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…
Travel 2019 – Barcelona, Day 2
Wednesday, 12th June 2019 – Barcelona, Day 2 We hit the ground running first thing in the morning, rattled through the work at a great pace, and finished everything by around 16:30, to our great surprise. I think we’d all expected to need longer but we were all pretty well focussed and it’s amazing what…
Travel 2019 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 5, Walk from Euston to Borough Market, London
Friday, 3rd May 2019 – Walk from Euston Station to Borough Market via the City, London You see the oddest things when you walk through London, even just the small quarter that tends to represent my regular beat. Sometimes there’s just no explanation for them, the most notable being the pink elephant in the Brunswick…
Travel 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine, Days 2 and 3
Tuesday, 18th September/Wednesday, 19th September 2018 – Kyiv, Days 2 and 3 Day 2 was manic and intense work-wise, and the only sightseeing that was done was from the seat of a mini bus taking us back and forth from the hotel to the office, mostly while stuck in traffic that wasn’t much going anywhere….
Travel 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine, Day 1
Monday, 17th September 2018 – Kyiv, Day 1 Finding myself in Kyiv for a 2-workshop and meeting session with the rest of the 12-strong team I am part of, the London contingent (two of us) were on the ground and in our hotel about 3 hours ahead of everyone else, so with the dispensation of…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London
Thursday, 13th September 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London It had to be done. I’d said nice things about the Duck Truck on Twitter and out of the blue they offered me a free lunch, so on a sunny Thursday lunchtime I decided I’d collect on the offer. I also…
Travel 2018 – Day 1, York
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….
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…
