Finland 2016 – Day 9, Wednesday 13th July (Naantali, Moominworld, Ahvenisto, Tampere) Moose count = I’ll give you three guesses! Here’s where things started to get a bit weird, at least if you were expecting the touristy stuff to continue unabated. We repacked the car, tidied up the apartment (we never did meet our host…

Travel 2016 – Ekenas, Raseborg Castle, Turku, Day 7
Day 7, Monday 11th July Moose count = 0, even on a plate It was time to leave Helsinki, checking out of the hotel Klaus K after one more of their excellent breakfasts. The bread alone was worth getting up for and the other offerings such as smoked vendace were also excellent! We did a…
Travel 2015 – Bruges, Brussels, Travel, Day 4
Tuesday, 15th December 2015 – Bruges A travel day but with added Belgium! We had checked the timetables carefully to ensure we didn’t face a rerun of Saturday’s ridiculously slow journey from Brussels to Bruges. We checked out of the Medici and loaded our shopping and luggage into the taxi that the receptionist organised for…
Travel 2015 – Bruges, Day 2
Sunday, December 13th 2015 – Bruges So it was up and at ’em pretty promptly on Sunday morning as we wanted to see as much as possible. It was a ridiculously mild morning so after breakfast in the somewhat disappointing breakfast room (which felt more like an institutional cafeteria than a dining room in what…
Travel 2015 – London, Bruges, Day 1
Saturday, 12th December 2015 – London, Bruges This trip came about because we’d fancied a “Christmas Markets” type weekend away in the run up to Christmas and as I was hunting for something that appealed a deal came up for a Eurostar and hotel package at a price that was too good to walk away…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 4
Wednesday 16th November Wednesday we didn’t intend achieving much though we did have to go and collect the long lens from the locker in the press centre (my fault for leaving it there and not thinking that I would need it on Thursday morning and wouldn’t necessarily want to go all the way to the…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 3
Tuesday November 15th Another good night’s sleep and I was starting to feel altogether more human – amazing! Who knew the best way to avoid jetlag was to stay awake for 37 hours straight then switch to local time immediately on arrival?! Anyway we opted for a trip over to Coloane this time, just to…
Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 2
Monday November 14th Monday morning wasn’t anywhere near as painful as it could have been for some odd reason and when the alarm went off at 9 am we both got up cheerfully enough and wandered down to breakfast. The IFT breakfast’s are not the biggest spread you’ll ever find but – and this is…
Travel/Food 2011 – British Museum, Cambio de Terce, Victoria and Albert Museum, Canela, London

It started with an early-ish train out of Milton Keynes with intent…
Theatre/Food 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley
Saturday, 12th/Sunday, 13th February 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley On Saturday we made what was a rare trip to the theatre. Given the costs of train travel to London for two people, along with the cost of tickets, it’s not something we’ve been able to do that often…
