Monday November 14th Monday morning wasn’t anywhere near as painful as it could have been for some odd reason and when the alarm went off at 9 am we both got up cheerfully enough and wandered down to breakfast. The IFT breakfast’s are not the biggest spread you’ll ever find but – and this is…

Travel 2011 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1
Time to blog (or even ramble I think) about the 2011 Macau trip (and time for my audience to run away screaming perhaps). Anyway… Saturday November 12th/Sunday November 13th We set off late on Saturday evening, flying out at 21:05 with those very fine folk from Air New Zealand. Now long haul flying is never…
Travel 2011 – Nurburg, Adenau, Jezus-Eik, Germany, Belgium
Thursday, 30th June/Monday, 4th July 2011 – Nurburg, Adenau, Jezus-Eik, Germany, Belgium It occurred to me that I never did finish talking about Monza, and it’s too far away now. So instead I’ll go into detail about the last two trips, knowing that we have another two over the next three weeks. We started July…
Food 2011 – Artisan, Hessle
Sunday, 22nd May 2011 – Artisan, Hessle It wasn’t the easiest of weekends. We spent the early part of Friday morning failing to solve Elaine’s bathroom dilemma by proposing more questions than solutions before finally heading to Hull to see what’s been happening with the house since January when the work started to put it…
Food 2011 – La Mirabelle, Harrogate
Thursday, 19th May 2011 – La Mirabelle, Harrogate Thursday I ended up working anyway in the morning, and in the afternoon we drove up to North Yorkshire to visit friends and go out for dinner at La Mirabelle in Harrogate. This was something we’d planned from sometime back in January when we heard they were…
Food 2011 – Roger Hickman’s, Norwich
Saturday, 14th May 2011 – Roger Hickman’s, Norwich A weekend at Snetterton is not a cheerful thing, and therefore if we have to race there, then there has to be some sort of balance to the weekend, usually in the shape of the best meal we can find. This time, after a brief search of…
Travel/Food 2011 – British Museum, Cambio de Terce, Victoria and Albert Museum, Canela, London
Saturday, 7th May 2011 – Afghanistan, Crossroads of the Ancient World, British Museum, Cambio de Terce, The Cult of Beauty: The Aesthetic Movement 1860-1900, Victoria and Albert Museum, Canela, London We’ve just had a day in London – mostly of culture and food. It started with an early-ish train out of Milton Keynes with intent…
Travel 2011 – Monza
Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th April 2011 – Monza, Como, Brunate Wednesday was all about the travelling, and it was late in the evening when we made it to Milan Linate and then spent some time trying to round up our hire car. That got interesting, largely because Avis’ website is not quite as informative as it…
Theatre/Food 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley
Saturday, 12th/Sunday, 13th February 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley On Saturday we made what was a rare trip to the theatre. Given the costs of train travel to London for two people, along with the cost of tickets, it’s not something we’ve been able to do that often…
Food 2011 – Halibut, Eat at 23, Buckingham, Brackley
Saturday, 5th February 2011 – Halibut, Eat at 23, Buckingham, Brackley It started out normally enough in that I went running first thing (4 miles at a gentle pace), but it got away from us a bit after that. We had always planned to head for Buckingham and a trip to Halibut to stock up…
