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…

Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 3
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. After another very pleasant breakfast we took the lift to the top floor of the hotel and set off towards the Casino, getting side-tracked by…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 1
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…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 6
Tuesday December 5th – Day 6, Krakow Tuesday was our last day and so after breakfast we tidied up the apartment, dropped off the keys and hauled our suitcases to the offices of the travel company who would be responsible for taking us to the airport in the evening. We were there just before 09:00…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 15
Saturday October 7th – Day 15 – Ligneuville, Malmedy, Ghent, Zeebrugge We made a reasonably early start from Ligneuville, stopping off in Malmedy to go to the supermarket and to hunt down somewhere where we could buy Ardennes ham. I’ve always liked Malmedy, though it’s fair to say we haven’t ever managed to spend that…
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/Food 2016 – Beverley, East Yorkshire
Saturday, 29th October 2016 – Beverley, East Yorkshire, UK We urgently needed to scoot up to Hull to check on my late parents’ house as we’ve just put it on the market, and so we decided to make a bit of a weekend of it and stay two nights in Beverley, which for those who…
Travel 2016 – Porvoo, Day 16
Day 16 – Wednesday, 20th July (Porvoo) Moose count = Are you trying to be funny?! The day began with breakfast on the terrace at Haikko Manor itself in the Romanov Dining Room – and very good it was too with all sorts of choice and lots of lactose and gluten free options, so much…
Travel 2016 – Savonlinna, Kuopio, Joroinen, Imatra, Day 13
Day 13 – Sunday 17th July (Savonlinna, Kuopio, Imatra) Moose count = Possibly in a stew! Also, one stuffed moose (but the museum was closed)! Today was the day we had to move on again. This time we did a somewhat illogical side trip to Kuopio en route to Imatra. If you look at the…
Travel 2016 – Tampere, Jyvaskyla, Juva, Savonlinna, Day 11
Day 11, Friday 15th July (Tampere, Jyvaskyla, Juva, Savonlinna) Moose count = not a damn one, no moose here, why do you ask? This was another travelling day. We needed to be in Savonlinna by 16:00 at the latest so we made a reasonably early start and dragged all of our luggage back downstairs from the…
