Saturday 7th/Sunday 8th October, 2023 – Wombleton, Marton, Nunnington Back in the UK, and we made a weekend trip to Yorkshire complete with an overnight stay. The impetus behind the trip was to see our friends Richard and Lindsey and to try out their new culinary venture, the Plough Inn, in the delightfully named village…

Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 8
Friday 30th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Friday was my last day in Copenhagen. We’d planned it so that we all travelled home the day after the workshop finished so that people could stay behind and socialise on Thursday evening as opposed to the usual routine of people being distracted in the last hour or…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Days 5, 6 and 7
Tuesday 27th – Thursday 29th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were mostly about the workshop, and thus about work, but we did manage to have some fun as well. I started Tuesday with a run in the neighbouring park, where I managed to get lost and ended up covering a lot…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 4
Monday 26th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Monday was Lynne’s last day in Copenhagen, with a mid-afternoon flight back to the UK. We had one more breakfast at the Danmark, outside in the courtyard, and then walked over to buy tickets for Tivoli for the day. We’d saved it till last partly because it, unlike…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 3
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 – Akasaka, Milton Keynes
Monday, 3rd February 2020 – Akasaka, Milton Keynes We had a date to go to the theatre in Milton Keynes, as we had tickets to see Sandi Toksvig on her “National Trevor” tour. As Lynne was working in the office that day (which is in MK), we decided I would pick her up from the…
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 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton
Saturday, October 13th 2018 – Hibiscus, The Derngate Theatre, Northampton It’s true – if unkind – that when thinking of Northampton the last thing that comes to mind is fine dining, but with the county’s annual food and drink awards coming up in a couple of weeks, and the announcement of the Restaurant of the…
