Saturday, 6th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 2 After a good night’s sleep under a wonderfully soft goosedown duvet, we met for breakfast in the restaurant Maurice (now the Moritz). Breakfast just served to reinforce the point that this was a wonderful hotel, with all sorts of extras from Nurnberger Rostbratwurstchen with mustard to a…

Travel 2008 – Berlin, Dresden, Day 1
Friday, 5th December 2008 – Berlin, Dresden Day 1 The Sixth Annual Girls’ Weekend Away (otherwise known as the “Credit Crunch be Damned!” GWA) was, I think, a success. Which was probably just as well as I did most of the organising. Anyway, enough of blowing my own trumpet, as it were. What happened and…
Travel 2008 – Fareham, Winchester
Saturday, 29th/Sunday, 30th November 2008 – Fareham, Winchester The weekend was busy, busy, busy, but also reasonably productive.

Travel 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11
Saturday, 14th/Tuesday, 17th November 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11 I was still feeling pretty rough on Saturday morning so breakfast was a slice of white toast, two imodium tablets and a very milky coffee, before we eventually headed for the paddock. Anyway, having encountered the world’s most unusual bellboy on the…

Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 4
Tuesday, 11th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 4 One of the best parts about using the Ambassador Club lounge is the view over the harbour, which was enhanced today by a fishing boat trawling just in front of the hotel. This had attracted the attention of one of the sea eagles (if my…
Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Day 3
Monday, 10th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Day 3 After a good night’s sleep, we got up latish, and went for breakfast in the Ambassador Club in the hotel. With a wide range of options, it was very good indeed, especially the freshly cooked omelette I went for. After that we set out to explore,…
Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Days 1 and 2
Saturday, 8th/Sunday, 9th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Days 1 and 2 After a certain amount of panicked packing the night before, and the cancellation of all appointments on Saturday, we got off to a leisurely start after a late breakfast, loading up the car at 1 pm and heading for Heathrow airport, leaving Andrea…
Food 2008 – Artisan
Saturday, 4th October – Artisan, Hessle We’ve also had a couple of really good weekends. October 4th/5th we headed north to see my Mum and sort a few things out for her. She wanted a new hifi system, having remarked more than once that the one that she’d had since 1971 (!) or thereabouts was…
