Thursday September 28th – Day 6, Urzig, Wehlen Thursday was devoted to some localised sightseeing and some serious wine tasting and buying that saw us range up and down the river as far as Urzig and Wehlen (about 3k in either direction from Zeltingen) after a morning of museums. The morning started with another run…

Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 5
Wednesday September 27th – Day 5, Bernkastel-Kues After slightly more driving than anticipated the day before we decided we’d take it easier on Wednesday and would spend the day pottering gently round Bernkastel-Kues, just 5k down the road. It was another foggy morning but we weren’t going to let that stop us. It boded well…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 2
Sunday September 24th – Day 2 Â – Nennig, Konz, Trier After a truly awful run through what seemed to be very steep vineyards (not helped by the fog that had dropped down overnight or the amount of food eaten the night before) we got our act together, had a lovely breakfast, and checked out of…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 1
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Eurotunnel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany And so the long awaited “big” holiday of 2017 rolled around and after much complicated planning we were off to spend two weeks (almost) meandering along the course of the Mosel (or the Moselle as the Brits call it), visiting castles, implausibly pretty little…

Food 2017 – More Local Food Options, Northamptonshire
These reviews result from being asked to help out with a series of mystery shopper trips to pubs lined up for some local food awards. The deal was we would be told where to go, and would pay for our own meals. As a result of needing to use the report forms, these reviews may…
Food 2017 – The Crazy Bear, Stadhampton
Friday 4th August, 2017 – The Crazy Bear (Thai Restaurant), Stadhampton We’d been to the Crazy Bear in Stadhampton before using a Groupon but we hadn’t tried a set meal in the Thai restaurant. This time we were going the whole hog. It was a lovely evening when we arrived, the sun shining, so we…
Food 2017 – Nelson Street Restaurant, Buckingham
Saturday July 1st, 2017 – Nelson Street Restaurant, Buckingham It’s always exciting when you find a new restaurant that looks like it might plug the almighty hole in the “fine-dining” category that is the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire area. For a patch of the country that contains a fair amount of disposable income it’s always seemed odd that…
Food 2017 – Street Food, Various Locations, London
Various Thursdays – Kerb at the Gherkin, Lunch Market and Borough Market Working now in the City I have access to a lot more choice for lunch than the ghastly chains of Canary Wharf with the once a week street food provided by Kerb. Instead I am now withing walking distance of another Kerb, this…
Food 2017 – Local Food Options, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire
We had a busy few weeks trying out or revisiting a variety of restaurants around and about our home town and some of them are worth making a note of here for one or another reason! I’ll tackle them in alphabetic order I think. Sunday 30th April, 2017 – The Narrow Boat, Weedon Bec We…
