Monday, 18th September 2023 We’d never been on a cruise of any sort before, assuming you don’t count long ferry trips to and from Finland or overnight journeys between the UK and Europe. But we have friends, John and Janice, who have been many times and love the whole experience. So much so that we…

Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 8
Friday 30th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Friday was my last day in Copenhagen. We’d planned it so that we all travelled home the day after the workshop finished so that people could stay behind and socialise on Thursday evening as opposed to the usual routine of people being distracted in the last hour or…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Days 5, 6 and 7
Tuesday 27th – Thursday 29th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were mostly about the workshop, and thus about work, but we did manage to have some fun as well. I started Tuesday with a run in the neighbouring park, where I managed to get lost and ended up covering a lot…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 4
Monday 26th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Monday was Lynne’s last day in Copenhagen, with a mid-afternoon flight back to the UK. We had one more breakfast at the Danmark, outside in the courtyard, and then walked over to buy tickets for Tivoli for the day. We’d saved it till last partly because it, unlike…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 3
Sunday 25th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Sunday got off to a slowish start, probably because Saturday had been pretty full on. We decided we would go and visit Rosenborg Castle and see what else we fancied doing around the area if we had time. After another outdoor breakfast we walked from the hotel (around…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 2
Saturday 24th June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a good night’s sleep, I was all set to go and parkrun somewhere in Copenhagen, preferably at Amager strandpark. I sorted my kit out and looked up the route I’d use to get there (about half a dozen stops on the metro), downloaded the DOT app to…
Travel 2023 – Copenhagen, Day 1
Friday 23rd June, 2023 – Copenhagen, Denmark Covid meant that I hadn’t seen my colleagues in Copenhagen face to face since January 2020. It also meant neither of us had been anywhere outside the UK for three years. A week long workshop at HQ in Copenhagen was going to be my first trip and provided…
Staycation 2021 – Day 7 (Stanwick Lakes, Deene Park)
Wednesday, 23rd September 2021 – Stanwick Lakes, Deene Park Wednesday we were in pretty much the same territory as on Tuesday. There are a number of castles, stately homes and such over towards Corby, along the Nene Valley. We were planning on visiting another one we’d never been to (and in fact until I started…
Staycation 2021 – Day 6 (Rockingham Castle)
Tuesday, 22nd September 2021 – Rockingham Castle Tuesday morning we made a late, slowish start (A had stayed overnight so we had breakfast together before heading off in our respective directions, she to visit a friend further north, us eastward towards Corby). Today’s destination was Rockingham Castle, another on the “we really should go there…
Staycation 2021 – Day 5 (Dojima Sake Brewery, Fordham Abbey)
Monday, 21st September 2021 – Dojima Sake Brewery Did you know that sake is now brewed in the UK? No? Nor did we until a couple of weeks ago, when I was hunting around for interesting places to visit on our staycation. It looked intriguing, and was over the same direction as Ely. We were…
