Sunday September 24th – Day 2 Â – Nennig, Konz, Trier After a truly awful run through what seemed to be very steep vineyards (not helped by the fog that had dropped down overnight or the amount of food eaten the night before) we got our act together, had a lovely breakfast, and checked out of…

Food 2017 – Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau And so to dinner on the very first day of the holiday. I’m not sure why but I was a bit surprised on looking at dining options for the hotel to discover that in addition to a hotel restaurant, and a bistro-type establishment,…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 1
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Eurotunnel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany And so the long awaited “big” holiday of 2017 rolled around and after much complicated planning we were off to spend two weeks (almost) meandering along the course of the Mosel (or the Moselle as the Brits call it), visiting castles, implausibly pretty little…
Food 2017 – The Crazy Bear, Stadhampton
Friday 4th August, 2017 – The Crazy Bear (Thai Restaurant), Stadhampton We’d been to the Crazy Bear in Stadhampton before using a Groupon but we hadn’t tried a set meal in the Thai restaurant. This time we were going the whole hog. It was a lovely evening when we arrived, the sun shining, so we…
Food 2017 – Street Food, Various Locations, London
Various Thursdays – Kerb at the Gherkin, Lunch Market and Borough Market Working now in the City I have access to a lot more choice for lunch than the ghastly chains of Canary Wharf with the once a week street food provided by Kerb. Instead I am now withing walking distance of another Kerb, this…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 3, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Sunday June 11th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland And so on Sunday, having spent Saturday half-frozen, the temperature went up by around 12 degrees Celsius, and pretty much all of the town seemed to be out and about in shorts, and sunburned noses. We made our way to the circuit where we enjoyed some very fine…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 2, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Saturday 10th June, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland Saturday saw us mostly at the race track and mostly inside as it was extremely cold out there. We did emerge from the cafe for the SMP F4 NEZ babies, and for the Porsches, once we realised that the son of someone we used to watch race was…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 1, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Friday June 9th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna, Finland We learned quite a lot on our most recent trip to Finland, starting with “just because it’s June, don’t expect it to be warm!” and rounding up to “there is absolutely sod all to do in Hämeenlinna on a Sunday night after 9pm”! It was probably the latter…
Travel 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen
Monday, 22nd/Thursday, 25th May 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen May in Copenhagen made a welcome change as otherwise I only seemed to be getting there when it was cold and dark, and while the place has its charms even in those conditions, it’s far pleasanter in the summer months. The difference was noticeable…
Food 2017 – Whites, Beverley
Friday 25th May White’s, Beverley So… we went to Kingston-upon-Hull (or ‘Ull if you will) for some of the 2017 City of Culture events about which more elsewhere, and obviously while we were there we needed to eat. Now back in the day you’d be lucky to find a decent Chinese or Indian, never mind…
