Tuesday, 14th August 2007 – Ons Kabinet, Vught I didn’t get the mussels and frites last night – the restaurant I had in mind was closed on Tuesdays – but I’m not complaining because instead I ended up at Ons Kabinet, in Vught (next to my hotel for the week), which was wonderful… I opted…

Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 4
Sunday, 19th/Monday, 20th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Days 4 and 5 Sunday in Bucharest was just as nuts as Saturday had been with people running into barriers/tyre walls/each other and anything else they could find to hit. It all got messy and again we seemed to walk miles and miles, mostly up that damn hill…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 3
Saturday, 19th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Day 3 Well, it’s fair to say that Saturday in Bucharest started waaaay too early, with an 8.15 qualifying session. Really not what we wanted, but what can you do? That meant leaving the apartment at 7.30, in order to get to the press office and get organised in…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 2
Friday, 18th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Day 2 Sometime during Thursday night, the weather changed dramatically, the weather going from baking hot and sunny to damp, humid and stormy overnight. It wasn’t entirely surprising because I’d stood on the balcony after we got back from dinner and nearly been blown off my feet by a…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 1
Thursday, 17th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Day 1 Well, Bucharest… The sound of traffic chaos (engine’s revving, horns blaring, traffic cops blowing whistles) and of dogs, feral or otherwise, barking their heads off. The scent of honeysuckle mingling with poor drains and cigarette smoke. The sight of beggars with faces so wrinkled they could be…
Travel 2007 – Utrecht, Zaltbommel
Tuesday, 10th April/Monday, 16th April 2007 – Utrecht, Zaltbommel Last night I caught a train to Utrecht (which takes around half an hour from here) and went to meet up with Nath. We had plans for the evening, and very successful they were. Initially we intended to have dinner, and then on to the cinema….
Travel 2007 – Malta
Wednesday, 21st March/Friday, 23rd March 2007 – Malta We were in Malta for four days so I suppose I should talk about some of the trip right now… We left home on Wednesday evening, heading for Gatwick (no sensibly timed flights went from anywhere nearer, and even that wasn’t particularly sensible, being a 7.25 departure)….
Food 2007 – Daventry, Waddesdon, Wetherby
Saturday, 9th/Sunday, 24th February 2007 – Daventry, Waddesdon, Wetherby We went out for Lynne’s birthday by virtue of Andrea and Bob deciding that we needed to go out and have “a jolly time“, as Bob put it. A long, lazy lunch at Fawsley Hall was just the thing frankly. It’s a lovely place, and the…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 3
Sunday, 3rd December 2006 – Vienna, Day 3 Sunday was slightly less frenetic than Saturday had been. Again we started with a superb breakfast in the hotel, then took a slow wander along to the Hofburg. It was a chilly day, but we wandered round the outside for a while, and along the Ringstrasse before…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 2
Saturday, 2nd December 2006 – Vienna, Day 2 Saturday got off to a good start (though everyone was a bit sleepy). Breakfast proved to be excellent, with some superb bread and rolls in all shapes, sizes and textures, and hams, cheeses, spreads, jams and things to go with them. There was plenty of fresh fruit,…
