Saturday, May 12th – Day 8, Pau Having basked in the sunshine on Friday, Saturday came as a bit of a shock to our systems. We woke to find low cloud and the Pyrenees had disappeared overnight, as they are occasionally wont to do. We hung about on the Boulevard for a short while but…

Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 7, Pau
Friday, May 10th – Day 7, Pau And so finally we were ready for the start of what may very well be the last Grand Prix in Pau, at least in its current format. I’m sure the organisers will find something to replace the Formula Three category, but it really won’t be the same. And…
Travel 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 5, Bordeaux
Wednesday, May 9th – Day 5, Bordeaux I started the day with a run out from the hotel and along the riverside walk that was already busy with other runners, walkers, cyclists and skateboarders. It gave me an opportunity to figure out the lie of the land between the hotel and the river, and provided…

Food 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford
Saturday, 24th March 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford This was our second visit to the Oxford Kitchen, mainly to confirm that we were right the first time about how good it is. With plans to be in the town on Friday night post Copenhagen for a college reunion, it seemed like a good plan…

Sunday, April 1st 2018 – Launceston Place, London In London for a couple of exhibitions, we decided that we should stop off for an Easter Sunday lunch somewhere close to the Design Museum where we had tickets for Ferrari: Under the Skin in the afternoon.

Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 6
Tuesday December 5th – Day 6, Krakow Tuesday was our last day and so after breakfast we tidied up the apartment, dropped off the keys and hauled our suitcases to the offices of the travel company who would be responsible for taking us to the airport in the evening. We were there just before 09:00…
Food 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton
Friday 13th October, 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton If there’s one restaurant in the UK that I would sell my grandmother to eat at, it’s probably le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. I make no secret of my admiration for Raymond Blanc, and having met him a couple of times now, I’m even more…
