Day 4, Friday 8th July – Helsinki Moose = 1 bronze moose, 1 stuffed moose, 0 live moose The ferry disembarcation was quick and efficient and after a drive into the city that had us wondering where everyone was, we were in Helsinki and parking up by the hotel within 30 minutes, a fact much…

Food 2016 – Le Gavroche, London
Monday, May 9th 2016 – Le Gavroche, London So after what feels like years of completely failing to get a table at Le Gavroche an invitation came through to attend a celebratory event there. I just needed to reply quickly to the email and hope I was faster than anyone else. I was! I paid…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Zaltbommel, Day 3
Sunday, March 5th 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Zaltbommel After another excellent (but egg-avoiding) breakfast, we headed out again, discovering the local market was in full swing. A stop to buy bread was essential although I was impressed that we managed to avoid caving in to our taste-buds and didn’t buy vast amounts of cheese to go…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Vught, Day 2
Friday, March 4th 2016 – Day 2Â (S’Hertogenbosch, Vught) A good night’s sleep and we woke to decidedly inclement weather, unfortunately. However, breakfast was in the dry of the hotel undercroft. It was a fairly impressive buffet, though it did come with the semi-compulsory egg that is a feature of everywhere I’ve ever stayed in…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Day 1
Thursday, March 3rd 2016 – Den Bosch We’d been planning on catching the Hieronymus Bosch exhibition in his home town of S’Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch as it’s more commonly -and pronounceably – known) since we’d first got wind of it back in 2015, and the looming new job start focussed our minds on getting it…
Travel 2015 – Bruges, Day 2
Sunday, December 13th 2015 – Bruges So it was up and at ’em pretty promptly on Sunday morning as we wanted to see as much as possible. It was a ridiculously mild morning so after breakfast in the somewhat disappointing breakfast room (which felt more like an institutional cafeteria than a dining room in what…
Travel 2015 – London, Bruges, Day 1
Saturday, 12th December 2015 – London, Bruges This trip came about because we’d fancied a “Christmas Markets” type weekend away in the run up to Christmas and as I was hunting for something that appealed a deal came up for a Eurostar and hotel package at a price that was too good to walk away…
Food 2015 РRobuchon au D̫me, Macau
During our trip to Macau last year we found ourselves dining in the first three-Michelin-starred restaurant we’ve ever managed to get a table at, it being close to impossible to do such things in the UK without a) booking three years’ in advance and b) committing bank robbery on a grand scale to pay for…
Food 2015 – BT Tower (Celebrating the BT Tower’s 50th Birthday), London
Oh boy have I been neglecting this… so without further ado, I’m back. From now on the motor racing stuff will all be on juniorformulamotorsport.org and everything else will be here. I shall further preface this by saying that it is incredibly rare for me to win anything ever. I’ve had the odd Premium Bond…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 10 and 11
Monday 21st November Considering the lateness of the night before, I was surprised to wake up around 08:00, and even more surprised that I actually felt well enough to have breakfast. Lynne refused to move so I went alone, wondering if the rest of the party would make it or not. They did and we…
