Monday, 29th/Tuesday 30th January 2018 – Hotel Danmark, Copenhagen Brewpub, Copenhagen I’ve been over to Copenhagen three times already this year and it seems odd that I don’t currently have a trip scheduled for this month… anyway, I’ll start with the first trip of the year, back in January. Once again faced with the idea…

Food 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford
Saturday 20th January, 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford Finally, 8 days after my birthday, we actually got to go and have a celebratory dinner. We had intended to do it the previous weekend, but I was outsmarted by OpenTable, and my booking at The Harrow in Little Bedwyn somehow got transposed from Saturday to…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 5
Monday December 4th – Day 5, Krakow Monday was something of a challenge as many, many things in Krakow are closed on Mondays. Note to self for future reference: check carefully what days you plan on being in a city for a Winter break and adjust accordingly if every major sight will be closed. However,…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 4
Sunday December 3rd – Day 4, Krakow Sunday was the day we aimed to see the most famous painting in Krakow, Leonardo da Vinci‘s “Lady with an Ermine“, or as we had it “Lady with a Ferret”! She used to be on show at Wawel Castle, but is now securely lodged in the National Museum’s…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 3
Saturday December 2nd – Day 3, Krakow I started the day with a 5k run as Krakow has a parkrun of its own. Leaving Lynne in the lovely, warm apartment I headed out into the cold, layered up with every piece of running gear I had with me (vest, sweater, jacket, two head-protectors, gloves, the…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 2
Friday December 1st – Day 2, Krakow Having arrived when we did the night before, we had no food available in the apartment (we could have done a small amount of shopping in one of the many 24 hour “supermarkets” that Carrefour run in Krakow but couldn’t be bothered) so we had a quick hot…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 1
Thursday November 30th – Day 1, London, Krakow And so, after a number of years, we finally made it to Krakow. Back in the day (about 7 year’s ago) the company I worked for acquired a Polish company, and I went out there on business a couple of times. The first time was in early…
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 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 14
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…
