Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London
Thursday, 13th September 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London It had to be done. I’d said nice things about the Duck Truck on Twitter and out of the blue they offered me a free lunch, so on a sunny Thursday lunchtime I decided I’d collect on the offer. I also…
Food 2018 – The Hopping Hare, Duston
Tuesday, 11th September 2018 – The Hopping Hare, Duston This was one we’d been meaning to try for a while, having heard good things about it on the grapevine. There was a rumour the chef had once worked at the late lamented Roade House, and that he was in good form here. We were keen…
Travel 2018 – Goodwood Revival, Goodwood
Sunday, 9th September 2018 – Goodwood Revival Meeting, Goodwood 2018 was the year of Goodwood for us. Having failed to get to any of the main meetings in previous years, largely because they tended to clash with international F3 meetings elsewhere in Europe, we’d pretty much given up on the idea. Last year, the club…

Travel 2018 – Hotel Shiskinn, Snovjanka, Ukraine
Tuesday, 28th August/Friday, 31st August 2018 – Hotel Shiskinn, Snovjanka, Ukraine Having spent four days at the hotel, I’m more than a little amused by some of its claims to “Western” service levels and such like, so I’ll try and be fair because if you do find yourself in this part of Ukraine, I suspect…
Food 2018 – The Butcher’s Arms, Greens Norton
Saturday, 18th August 2018 – The Butcher’s Arms, Greens Norton Greens Norton is probably the nearest village to where we live, and the local pub seems to have gone through some interesting times of late, changing hands more than once, before finally being bought by a consortium of villagers, who are now running it as…
Food 2018 – The Crown Inn, Weston
Saturday, August 11th 2018 – The Crown Inn, Weston On a cold, damp Saturday evening (and wasn’t that a shock after the summer it’s been so far) we found our way to the Crown Inn in the tiny, tiny village of Weston, just north of Silverstone. Weston is not exactly famous, with the extent of…
Travel/Food 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 1, Old Spitalfields Market, London
Tuesday 8th August 2018 – Old Spitalfields Market, London It’s all very well working somewhere for a couple of years but eventually you get a bit bored with the same old streets every day. With that in mind, I’ve resolved to do some “lunchtime tourism” to see what I can see in the space of…
