Thursday, 15th May 2008 – Monza, Day 1 We got off to a good start on the Thursday morning, even if a 6.45 flight is a lot too early for my liking. At least we were flying out of Birmingham, which isn’t too far away, and we were booked with flybe on a 49-seater Embraer…

Food 2008 – The Roade House, Roade
7th April 2008 – Antipodean Dinner, The Roade House, Roade This afternoon I dashed to the garage to get a new headlight bulb fitted to the Astra (I swear this car eats light bulbs – I’m averaging one every three months right now), before picking Andrea up from Bicester station to take her to ours,…
Travel 2008 – Zurich
Wednesday, 26th March 2008 – Zurich I’m in Zurich again – just for a meeting today, but this time I opted to fly in last night. I’ve stayed overnight at the somewhat eccentric Hotel du Theatre just across the river from the main railway station, and after a brief wander round in the snow last…
Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 8 and 9
Friday, 15th/Saturday, 16th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 8 and 9 Saturday was yet another sunny day, so much so that I didn’t even bother with my anorak to ski, going out instead with just a fleece between me and the outside world… I knew there’d be no point keeping going much beyond 1.30 so…
Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 5 to 7
Wednesday, 12th/Thursday, 14th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 5 to 7 Well, I wouldn’t like to go through Wednesday morning again. It was raining when I got up, it was raining when I met my instructor for lesson two, and it was raining all the way through the first 45 minutes of the two hour…
Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4
Saturday, 8th/Tuesday, 11th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4 I got home latish on the Friday night (that’s the trouble with going on holiday – there’s always a ton of stuff to do at work before you go but I’d promised so I did a 10-hour day), which of course meant I spent…
Travel 2007 – Hong Kong, Day 10
Tuesday, 20th November 2007 – Hong Kong, Day 10 Tuesday got off to an even slower start than Monday, largely because it had all caught up with us finally. With a 4pm checkout time courtesy of my Priority Club Ambassador membership, we were in real hurry. We finished up sorting the photos so they could…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Hong Kong, Day 9
Monday, 19th November 2007 – Macau, Hong Kong, Day 9 Bloody BMW… Their post race party was very, very good indeed, which was why when I woke up I felt as if someone had sandpapered my eyeballs, my throat was sore and clogged and my nose was horribly blocked up. I could have used several…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 8
Sunday, 18th November 2007 – Macau, Day 8 I made another early start on Sunday, figuring that it might be interesting to get out for the warm up at 8 am and take some pictures of the WTCC cars as well as our boys. So I set the alarm for 7, got up, and gulped…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 7
Saturday, 17th November 2007 – Macau, Day 7 Saturday used to be the day we didn’t have to do much. Saturday was entirely given over to the motorcyclists (who are all certifiably insane – these, after all, are also the men who race in the Isle of Man TT), and the demented locals, most of…
