Saturday 11th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 1 Being in Copenhagen for work again, this time for three solid weeks, I was in the fortunate position of being able to fly home or have my partner flown out to me for one weekend of the two. I opted to stay put and let the company…

Food/Travel 2017 – Copenhagen (Week 1)
Sunday 5th February to Thursday 9th February, 2017 – Copenhagen February may not be the best time to visit Copenhagen, especially in a snowstorm, but I didn’t have much choice as my new employers sent me out here for three weeks to complete a gruelling, brain-frying training course. I opted not to fly home each…
Food 2017 – Galvin at the Athenaeum, London
Saturday, 14th January 2017 – Galvin at the Athenaeum, London Partly to celebrate my birthday a couple of days previous t0 the event, partly because we had a Groupon to use, Lynne and I spent the afternoon at the theatre (at the Royal Court Theatre, seeing “The Children”) and then headed off down towards Picadilly…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4
Thursday 12th January, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4 British Airways while I was away introduced their new “improved” cabin service. Now while I will grant that the ham and cheese croissant I was offered on the way out was a long way from gourmet food, it was at least included in the price of my…
Food 2016 – Vibin’s, Buckingham (2nd Visit)
Saturday 24th December, 2016 – Vibin’s, Buckingham Back in the day we used to go to the Roade House for lunch/dinner on Christmas Eve, on the basis that I’d be doing all the cooking for the next few days and could use a day off before the big event. With the retirement of Sue and…
Food 2016 – Moro, London
Saturday, 17th December 2016 – Moro, Exmouth Market, London After a visit to Sadler’s Wells, which is not exactly the most central of London’s theatres, it’s become almost a tradition for us to go to the splendid Moro for an early dinner. Well, if you can call three times a tradition. I think you probably…
Food 2016 – Neni and the Marlene Bar, Berlin
Sunday, December 5th 2916 – Neni, 25, Berlin and Marlene Bar, Intercontinental Hotel, Berlin Dinner on the final night stood in remarkable contrast in many ways to the two restaurants that went before. Neni, in the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, provides equally good food, again in an hotel restaurant, but the style is completely different,…
Travel 2016 – Berlin, Day 3
Sunday, December 4th 2016 – Berlin By this stage we’d pretty much hit the point of not making plans though we did start the day vaguely aiming at Museum Island because our Berlin Card included it, and they are always listed as among the top sights in the city. We set off via the U2…
Food 2016 – Restaurant 44, Berlin
Saturday, 4th December 2016 – Restaurant 44, Swissotel, Berlin After the spectacular meal at Hugos the preceding night this was always going to have to be a completely different experience, and to be honest one of the problems we’d hit was wanting to eat within walking distance of the hotel, which restricted our choices somewhat….
Travel 2016 – Berlin, Day 2
Saturday, December 3rd 2016 – Berlin We had a plan – or at least we thought we did! After a brief, brutal but ultimately succesful fight with the coffee machine in the hotel room, we took a leisurely breakfast in the Interconinental Club before stepping out into a crisp, cold but above all clear winter’s…
