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…

Food 2017 – Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau And so to dinner on the very first day of the holiday. I’m not sure why but I was a bit surprised on looking at dining options for the hotel to discover that in addition to a hotel restaurant, and a bistro-type establishment,…
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/Travel 2017 – Day 4, Tuusula, Finland
Monday 12th June, 2017 – Tuusula, Finland And so, after a gloriously sunny Sunday, we were back in the gloom on Monday, with a cold damp morning and increasing drizzle. It was time to go home anyway, and we’d had a text from Finnair suggesting that, as it was the first day of the Summer…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 3, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Sunday June 11th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland And so on Sunday, having spent Saturday half-frozen, the temperature went up by around 12 degrees Celsius, and pretty much all of the town seemed to be out and about in shorts, and sunburned noses. We made our way to the circuit where we enjoyed some very fine…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 2, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Saturday 10th June, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland Saturday saw us mostly at the race track and mostly inside as it was extremely cold out there. We did emerge from the cafe for the SMP F4 NEZ babies, and for the Porsches, once we realised that the son of someone we used to watch race was…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 1, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Friday June 9th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna, Finland We learned quite a lot on our most recent trip to Finland, starting with “just because it’s June, don’t expect it to be warm!” and rounding up to “there is absolutely sod all to do in Hämeenlinna on a Sunday night after 9pm”! It was probably the latter…
Food 2017 – Paris House, Alsace Wine Dinner
Thursday June 1st June, 2017 – Alsace Wine Dinner, Paris House, Woburn It’s been quite the Spring for wine dinners after almost a year with none. This time we had moved on from the Mosel to Alsace, and swapped to a new restaurant (new to us anyway) in the shape of Paris House on the…
2017 Food – Rascill’s, Raskelf
Sunday 27th May, 2017 – Rascill’s, Raskelf I need to say this. Rascill’s is one of those restaurants I absolutely love. I just wish I didn’t live so far away (162 miles) or I’d be there at least once a month! Our trip to Hull gave us the perfect excuse to detour slightly on our…
