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…
Food 2018 – The Red House, Marsh Benham
Sunday, August 5th 2018 – The Red House, Marsh Benham Back in the late 1980s, towards the end of my first decade as a wage slave, I worked for a company that moved its offices from Bromley, in south London, to Aldermaston, in the middle of nowhere, and thus ended up buying a house in…
Food 2018 – Pairings, York
Sunday, 8th July 2018 – Pairings, York For lunch on Sunday in York we took Richard’s at Rascills recommendation and sought out Pairings on Castlegate. He said we’d like it. He was absolutely right. Some of the seats looked a bit “medieval instruments of torture” but we found some chairs rather than bar stools and…
Travel/Food 2018 – York, Raskelf, Day 2
Saturday, 7th July 2018 – York, Raskelf Saturday morning was just as warm as Friday so we were quite pleased to have a variety of things indoors or at least undercover to do, starting with a visit to the Jorvik Viking Centre that we’d pre-booked to avoid having to queue. As we were ready a…
Travel 2018 – Day 1, York
Friday, 6th July 2018 – York With the lure of Europe’s first pop-up Shakespearean theatre, the Rose, to tempt us north to York, we decided it was a good excuse for a short break in a city I used to know well after numerous trips there with school or for that matter with my parents….

Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Days 18 and 19, Larrabetzu, Bilbao, Portsmouth, Home
Tuesday, May 22nd/Wednesday, May 23rd – Days 18 and 19, Larrabetzu, Bilbao, Portsmouth, Home Up early, we found the drive to the ferry port was very easy, and very quick, from the hotel. We hadn’t booked breakfast, because we figured on getting something on the ferry, and so check out was quick and easy, even…
Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 17, Pau, Gan, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Larrabetzu, Amorebieta
Monday, May 21st – Day 17, Pau, Gan, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Larrabetzu, Amorebieta I was woken up early by the sound of the street cleaning machines trundling around the Place Gourmande site on Place Georges Clemenceau, so between the noisy revellers the night before and the local council’s street cleaning department, I’d managed about 5 hours sleep….
