Sunday, February 18th 2018 – Monaco After some pretty questionable weather we woke on Sunday to blue skies, bright sunshine and just the sort of weather we’d be hoping for. After another very pleasant breakfast we took the lift to the top floor of the hotel and set off towards the Casino, getting side-tracked by…

Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 2
Saturday, February 17th 2018 – Monaco A late start was called for after a good night’s sleep. We aimed for a 10:00am breakfast, missed by 15 minutes, and finally got our act into gear to go out a little after 11. We’d decided that, despite the fact that we pretty much know Monte Carlo like…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 1
Friday, 16th February 2018 – Vence, Monaco And so for Lynne’s 60th birthday weekend away we found ourselves on a stupid o’clock BA flight from Heathrow to Nice where we picked up a hire car (after a certain amount of trying to battle our way through the chaos that is the building work going on…
Travel/Food 2018 – Copenhagen Brewpub, Hotel Danmark, Copenhagen
Monday, 29th/Tuesday 30th January 2018 – Hotel Danmark, Copenhagen Brewpub, Copenhagen I’ve been over to Copenhagen three times already this year and it seems odd that I don’t currently have a trip scheduled for this month… anyway, I’ll start with the first trip of the year, back in January. Once again faced with the idea…
Travel/Food 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull, Beverley, Raskelf
Saturday, 11th/Sunday, 12th November 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull (Hull) This was a much shorter visit than the one in May, as we only stayed one night (at the splendidly-located City Centre Premier Inn right by The Deep) and arrived an hour or so before the start of the performance we were there to see, the “Last…
Food 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton
Friday 13th October, 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton If there’s one restaurant in the UK that I would sell my grandmother to eat at, it’s probably le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. I make no secret of my admiration for Raymond Blanc, and having met him a couple of times now, I’m even more…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 14
Friday October 6th – Day 14 – Ahrweiler, Bad Neuenahr, Ligneuville Now we really were on the last part of the journey, where we would leave Germany and spend a night at our old favourite stomping ground in Belgium, close to Spa-Francorchamps, before catching an overnight ferry back to the UK. First however, we planned…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 13
Thursday October 5th – Day 13, Kinheim, Beilstein, Cochem, Walporzheim, Ahrweiler It was Thursday in week two so we were on the move again as we began a slow haul towards home. I did manage to get a run in that morning, down to the Enkirch lock and back, with a head wind all the…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 12
Wednesday October 4th – Day 12, Traben-Trarbach, Kinheim, Minheim We got off to a very slow start as it was another foggy morning. We were also not in a hurry as Lynne had decided that she really needed a pedicure and manicure and that this would be a good time to do it. I’d expected…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 11
Tuesday October 3rd – Day 11, Zell an der Mosel An early-ish run saw me head down the river towards Rissbach, and its lovely timber-framed houses. There was a detour to avoid a tree marked as having a hornets’ nest in it, and a slight loss of direction at the camp site (I was slightly…
