Monday, 8th/Tuesday, 9th June 2009 – Zeltingen-Rachtig, Traben-Trarbach, Bernkastel-Kues, Erden, Wehlen, Urzig, Jezus-Eik, Days 5 and 6 Monday dawned sunny and fine, so we had a late, leisurely and extremely good breakfast. The hotel specialises in organic produce from the immediate area as much as possible and also various smoked and home-cured meats and fish….

Travel 2009 – Hockenheim, Zeltingen-Rachtig, Days 3 and 4
Saturday, 6th/Sunday, 7th June 2009 – Hockenheim, Zeltingen-Rachtig, Days 3 and 4 Saturday was a busyish day, with qualifying and one race, though it could have been worse. The weather wasn’t too good, but again that was pretty immaterial really. It had been an odd sort of race, with quite a few unexpected incidents, including…
Travel 2009 – Hockenheim, Days 1 and 2
Thursday, 4th/Friday, 5th June 2009 – Hockenheim, Days 1 and 2 It’s been a long time since we last did a road trip of any great note, probably because flights are so much cheaper these days than when we first started travelling to races in Europe quite so frequently back in 1989. Some of these…
Food 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London
Saturday, 18th April 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London We’re not eating out much this year but yesterday was a special event (A’s Birthday celebrations) and she’s been hankering after eating at Locanda Locatelli almost as long as it’s been in existence. So, a table was duly booked for lunch yesterday and ten of us assembled…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Berlin, Day 4
Monday, 8th December 2008 – Dresden, Berlin, Day 4 Monday was a day when we didn’t have a great deal planned apart from getting to Berlin for our flight back. As that wasn’t until much later in the day, there was no great rush, although Steffy had requested lunch in Berlin, presumably just in case…
Travel 2008 – Macau, Days 5 – 7
Wednesday, 11th/Friday, 13th November 2008 – Macau, Days 5 – 7 As ever Wednesday was the day it all kicked off with the traditional photo opportunity/PR stunt held at Fisherman’s Wharf in the afternoon. First though there were some shopping-related errands to run. Glyn wanted to look at the shiny new Apple store to see…
Travel 2008 – Brighton
Saturday, 13th/Sunday, 14th September 2008 – Brighton The weekends have been busy of late and the weeks are just so busy that I don’t seem able to find time to tell anyone about it. That said, last weekend, we finally got to visit our friend Irene in Brighton (we’ve only been trying to achieve it…
Travel/Food 2008 – National Portrait Gallery, National Dining Rooms, Royal Academy, London
Saturday, 26th April 2008 – National Portrait Gallery, National Dining Rooms, Royal Academy, London After a great deal of promising ourselves trips to various exhibitions, and then never getting round to them, I decided that Lynne and I had done enough talking about going to the National Portrait Gallery and the Vanity Fair photo exhibition…
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…
