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…

Food 2008 – Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons
Wednesday, 13th February 2008 – Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons, Great Milton So, it was both my Mum and Lynne’s birthdays, and to celebrate, what with it being Lynne’s 50th and Mum’s 81st, we were booked in at the splendid – nay utterly wonderful – le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons. We got up slowly, the…
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…
Food 2007 – Daventry, Waddesdon, Wetherby
Saturday, 9th/Sunday, 24th February 2007 – Daventry, Waddesdon, Wetherby We went out for Lynne’s birthday by virtue of Andrea and Bob deciding that we needed to go out and have “a jolly time“, as Bob put it. A long, lazy lunch at Fawsley Hall was just the thing frankly. It’s a lovely place, and the…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 3
Sunday, 3rd December 2006 – Vienna, Day 3 Sunday was slightly less frenetic than Saturday had been. Again we started with a superb breakfast in the hotel, then took a slow wander along to the Hofburg. It was a chilly day, but we wandered round the outside for a while, and along the Ringstrasse before…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 2
Saturday, 2nd December 2006 – Vienna, Day 2 Saturday got off to a good start (though everyone was a bit sleepy). Breakfast proved to be excellent, with some superb bread and rolls in all shapes, sizes and textures, and hams, cheeses, spreads, jams and things to go with them. There was plenty of fresh fruit,…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 5
Wednesday, 15th November 2006 – Macau Needless to say, there wasn’t enough sleep. My alarm went off at 7.15, and I lurched off to the gym for a session on the exercise bike to try and combat the food excesses this place provides! After that it was breakfast followed by a shopping trip. Having discovered…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 4
Tuesday, 14th November 2006 – Macau Tuesday was a dismal sort of day weather-wise. However, we didn’t let that stop us. Breakfast was marginally better organised than it had been the day before, though the actual food was still poorly labelled, and there’s no decent bread to be had, only white that looks and feels…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 3
Monday, 13th November 2006 – Macau Monday I got up just before 8 and went off to investigate the hotel gym. It proved to be precisely 5 pieces of equipment, none of them a treadmill, on the 23rd floor, with the French windows open to the elements and more importantly the humid Macanese air. I…
