Sunday, December 13th 2015 – Bruges So it was up and at ’em pretty promptly on Sunday morning as we wanted to see as much as possible. It was a ridiculously mild morning so after breakfast in the somewhat disappointing breakfast room (which felt more like an institutional cafeteria than a dining room in what…

Travel 2015 – London, Bruges, Day 1
Saturday, 12th December 2015 – London, Bruges This trip came about because we’d fancied a “Christmas Markets” type weekend away in the run up to Christmas and as I was hunting for something that appealed a deal came up for a Eurostar and hotel package at a price that was too good to walk away…
Food 2015 – Robuchon au Dôme, Macau
During our trip to Macau last year we found ourselves dining in the first three-Michelin-starred restaurant we’ve ever managed to get a table at, it being close to impossible to do such things in the UK without a) booking three years’ in advance and b) committing bank robbery on a grand scale to pay for…
Food 2015 – BT Tower (Celebrating the BT Tower’s 50th Birthday), London
Oh boy have I been neglecting this… so without further ado, I’m back. From now on the motor racing stuff will all be on juniorformulamotorsport.org and everything else will be here. I shall further preface this by saying that it is incredibly rare for me to win anything ever. I’ve had the odd Premium Bond…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 10 and 11
Monday 21st November Considering the lateness of the night before, I was surprised to wake up around 08:00, and even more surprised that I actually felt well enough to have breakfast. Lynne refused to move so I went alone, wondering if the rest of the party would make it or not. They did and we…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 8
Sunday November 20th Sunday morning was not funny. The alarm went off far too early and I dragged my somewhat reluctant self to Melco, arriving there just after 07:00 only to find that the 07:15 start was actually an 07:30 start and that actually by the time the track was clear, it was really an…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 7
Saturday 19th November Saturday morning dawned murky and horrible, so yet again the motorcycles were postponed. It was going to take a miracle to get them out at this rate. They were supposed to be racing on Saturday afternoon and hadn’t even qualified yet. Another attempt was scheduled for the afternoon, after all the other…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 6
Friday 18th November Again the day was mostly taken up with the motor racing, which won’t of course come as the slightest surprise to anyone who knows me. This time we were out at Sao Francisco at the”green house”2, a house that was bought by the government to stop development there. In its time it’s…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 5
Thursday 17th November Thursday wasn’t too early a start for anybody – unless theoretically the 45th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix was any concern of yours. I say theoretically because it was very quickly obvious that whatever practice and qualifying sessions were going to happen, the bikes would not be among them. The sheer amount of…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 4
Wednesday 16th November Wednesday we didn’t intend achieving much though we did have to go and collect the long lens from the locker in the press centre (my fault for leaving it there and not thinking that I would need it on Thursday morning and wouldn’t necessarily want to go all the way to the…
