Friday October 6th – Day 14 – Ahrweiler, Bad Neuenahr, Ligneuville Now we really were on the last part of the journey, where we would leave Germany and spend a night at our old favourite stomping ground in Belgium, close to Spa-Francorchamps, before catching an overnight ferry back to the UK. First however, we planned…

Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 13
Thursday October 5th – Day 13, Kinheim, Beilstein, Cochem, Walporzheim, Ahrweiler It was Thursday in week two so we were on the move again as we began a slow haul towards home. I did manage to get a run in that morning, down to the Enkirch lock and back, with a head wind all the…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 12
Wednesday October 4th – Day 12, Traben-Trarbach, Kinheim, Minheim We got off to a very slow start as it was another foggy morning. We were also not in a hurry as Lynne had decided that she really needed a pedicure and manicure and that this would be a good time to do it. I’d expected…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 11
Tuesday October 3rd – Day 11, Zell an der Mosel An early-ish run saw me head down the river towards Rissbach, and its lovely timber-framed houses. There was a detour to avoid a tree marked as having a hornets’ nest in it, and a slight loss of direction at the camp site (I was slightly…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 10
Monday October 2nd – Day 10, Burg Arras, Manderscheid, Traben-Trarbach We woke up to a very foggy morning, with the other side of the valley shrouded in mists. The castle/hotel didn’t get any less odd in the morning, though they provided a perfectly good breakfast. Our bill was handwritten on a sheet of mathematics exercise…
Food 2017 – 1884 Dock Street Kitchen, Hull
Saturday 26th May – 1884 Dock Street Kitchen, Hull Part of our trip to Hull saw us needing somewhere local to eat out, and no matter what we’d been told, the Michelin Guide suggested there was one place worth going to, and that was 1884 Dock Street Kitchen. The fact that both John Robinson at…
Food 2017 – Roux at Parliament Square, Riesling Wine Dinner
Wednesday 17th May, 2017 – Riesling Wine Dinner, Roux at Parliament Square It’s marginally easier to get a table at Roux at Parliament Square than it is at parent-restaurant Le Gavroche (which is to say we’ve been to Parliament Square twice now and I’ve only ever managed to get a table at Le Gavroche once,…
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…
Food 2017 – Eneko, One Aldwych, London
Saturday 26th March, 2017 – The Lobby Bar and Eneko, One Aldwych, London A post-theatre dinner here was on the cards after much enthusiasm in certain press quarters about the food at Eneko, somewhere on the premises of One Aldwych. It helped that the cuisine in question is meant to be Basque and as a…
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…
