Sunday, 14th July 2019 – Porto, Day 4 I went running again to start the day, this time heading downhill from the hotel and running along the river. When I’d finished I cheated by taking the funicular back up to the top level of the bridge because it was far too humid to use my…

Travel 2019 – Porto, Day 2
Friday, 12th July 2019 – Porto, Day 2 Friday morning saw Lynne creak into action rather late, but in good time for our first activity of the day. I’d already been out to try and purchase some yogurt for her because she insists it’s needed to kick start her digestion. I’d found a lot of…
Food 2018/2019 – Guildhall Lunch Market, London
Thursday 6th December 2018/Thursday, 10th January/Thursday, 25th April/Thursday, 23rd May 2019 – Food (Jollof Mama, Simply Paella, Nikskitchen, Parson’s Nose) The Guild Hall Lunch Market is a fine thing as far as I’m concerned, as it brings a variety of street food traders all together in one place, and unlike say the weekly Kerb market…
Food 2019 – Sunday Lunch at the Muddy Duck, Hethe
Sunday, 5th May 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Having tested the “normal” small plates menu at the Muddy Duck a couple of weekends back, we headed that way again over the recent bank holiday weekend to try out Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration for one of our closest friends.

Travel 2018 – Helsinki, Day 5
Monday, 3rd December 2018 – Helsinki On our last day, having been running already on the trip, I woke up early and decided that I was going to try out the new-ish (well, it was still under construction when we first visited) Allas Sea Pool complex down on the harbour side. I didn’t think I’d…

Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London
Thursday, 13th September 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London It had to be done. I’d said nice things about the Duck Truck on Twitter and out of the blue they offered me a free lunch, so on a sunny Thursday lunchtime I decided I’d collect on the offer. I also…
Travel 2018 – Hotel Shiskinn, Snovjanka, Ukraine
Tuesday, 28th August/Friday, 31st August 2018 – Hotel Shiskinn, Snovjanka, Ukraine Having spent four days at the hotel, I’m more than a little amused by some of its claims to “Western” service levels and such like, so I’ll try and be fair because if you do find yourself in this part of Ukraine, I suspect…
Travel/Food 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 1, Old Spitalfields Market, London
Tuesday 8th August 2018 – Old Spitalfields Market, London It’s all very well working somewhere for a couple of years but eventually you get a bit bored with the same old streets every day. With that in mind, I’ve resolved to do some “lunchtime tourism” to see what I can see in the space of…
