Sunday November 20th Sunday morning was not funny. The alarm went off far too early and I dragged my somewhat reluctant self to Melco, arriving there just after 07:00 only to find that the 07:15 start was actually an 07:30 start and that actually by the time the track was clear, it was really an…

Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 6
Friday 18th November Again the day was mostly taken up with the motor racing, which won’t of course come as the slightest surprise to anyone who knows me. This time we were out at Sao Francisco at the”green house”2, a house that was bought by the government to stop development there. In its time it’s…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 5
Thursday 17th November Thursday wasn’t too early a start for anybody – unless theoretically the 45th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix was any concern of yours. I say theoretically because it was very quickly obvious that whatever practice and qualifying sessions were going to happen, the bikes would not be among them. The sheer amount of…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 2
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…
Travel 2010 – Monaco, Vence, Valbonne, Days 4 and 5
Saturday, 16th/Sunday, 17th October 2010 – Monaco, Vence, Valbonne, Days 4 and 5 Saturday we again got off to a slow start – though I did slot in my training run (13k) before breakfast (having watched Nico Hulkenberg vanish into the distance outside – I never saw him come back). At breakfast they were losing…
Travel 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3
Friday, 15th October 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3 Friday morning I got up relatively early and went for a swim in the hotel pool – which was heart-stoppingly cold that early in the day. The sun was just coming up behind the building and hadn’t hit the water, but I soon warmed up and…
Travel 2010 – Monaco, Days 1 and 2
Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th October 2010 – Monaco, Days 1 and 2 I’ve been missing in action for such a long time now that it’s very hard to know where to start, so I’ll make it simple and go with where I am right now and what I’m doing. After a long complicated summer, Lynne and…

Friday, 22nd January 2010 – Burns Night Supper, The Roade House, Roade For the last couple of years we have been trying (and failing) to get a table at the Burns’ Night Dinner at one of our favourite local restaurants, the Roade House. Well this year we managed to get a table, and so we…
