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…

Saturday, 7th May 2011 – Afghanistan, Crossroads of the Ancient World, British Museum, Cambio de Terce, The Cult of Beauty: The Aesthetic Movement 1860-1900, Victoria and Albert Museum, Canela, London We’ve just had a day in London – mostly of culture and food.

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…
Food 2011 – Halibut, Eat at 23, Buckingham, Brackley
Saturday, 5th February 2011 – Halibut, Eat at 23, Buckingham, Brackley It started out normally enough in that I went running first thing (4 miles at a gentle pace), but it got away from us a bit after that. We had always planned to head for Buckingham and a trip to Halibut to stock up…

Saturday, 16th/Sunday, 17th October 2010 – Monaco, Vence, Valbonne, Days 4 and 5 Saturday we again got off to a slow start – though I did slot in my training run (13k) before breakfast (having watched Nico Hulkenberg vanish into the distance outside – I never saw him come back). At breakfast they were losing…
Travel 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3
Friday, 15th October 2010 – Monaco, Antibes, Day 3 Friday morning I got up relatively early and went for a swim in the hotel pool – which was heart-stoppingly cold that early in the day. The sun was just coming up behind the building and hadn’t hit the water, but I soon warmed up and…
Travel 2010 – Monaco, Days 1 and 2
Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th October 2010 – Monaco, Days 1 and 2 I’ve been missing in action for such a long time now that it’s very hard to know where to start, so I’ll make it simple and go with where I am right now and what I’m doing. After a long complicated summer, Lynne and…
Travel 2009 – Faro, Tavira, Days 6 and 7
Wednesday, 16th/Thursday, 17th September 2009 – Faro, Tavira, Days 6 and 7 By Wednesday we were becoming very relaxed indeed. Again we breakfasted late and had to fend off the friendly cat. He became even more of a pest as we wandered around the hotel gardens, which are a major part of the attraction of…
Food 2009 – Cookery School, Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton
Saturday, 11th July 2009 – Cookery School, le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton Saturday morning, despite having been out pretty late the night before, I was awake bright and early and in a fever of excitement. After all, I’d been waiting for this day since January when I’d been presented with a bright, shiny certificate…
