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…

Food 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London
Saturday, 18th April 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London We’re not eating out much this year but yesterday was a special event (A’s Birthday celebrations) and she’s been hankering after eating at Locanda Locatelli almost as long as it’s been in existence. So, a table was duly booked for lunch yesterday and ten of us assembled…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Berlin, Day 4
Monday, 8th December 2008 – Dresden, Berlin, Day 4 Monday was a day when we didn’t have a great deal planned apart from getting to Berlin for our flight back. As that wasn’t until much later in the day, there was no great rush, although Steffy had requested lunch in Berlin, presumably just in case…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Day 3
Sunday, 7th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 3 Sunday dawned reasonably bright and sunny while we ate breakfast: It was just as impressive as the day before: By the time we’d worked our way through that lot, the weather had turned and it was hideously soggy, with the rain coming down almost horizontally. It also didn’t…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Day 2
Saturday, 6th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 2 After a good night’s sleep under a wonderfully soft goosedown duvet, we met for breakfast in the restaurant Maurice (now the Moritz). Breakfast just served to reinforce the point that this was a wonderful hotel, with all sorts of extras from Nurnberger Rostbratwurstchen with mustard to a…
Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 8 and 9
Friday, 15th/Saturday, 16th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 8 and 9 Saturday was yet another sunny day, so much so that I didn’t even bother with my anorak to ski, going out instead with just a fleece between me and the outside world… I knew there’d be no point keeping going much beyond 1.30 so…
Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 5 to 7
Wednesday, 12th/Thursday, 14th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 5 to 7 Well, I wouldn’t like to go through Wednesday morning again. It was raining when I got up, it was raining when I met my instructor for lesson two, and it was raining all the way through the first 45 minutes of the two hour…
Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4
Saturday, 8th/Tuesday, 11th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4 I got home latish on the Friday night (that’s the trouble with going on holiday – there’s always a ton of stuff to do at work before you go but I’d promised so I did a 10-hour day), which of course meant I spent…
Food 2008 – Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons
Wednesday, 13th February 2008 – Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons, Great Milton So, it was both my Mum and Lynne’s birthdays, and to celebrate, what with it being Lynne’s 50th and Mum’s 81st, we were booked in at the splendid – nay utterly wonderful – le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons. We got up slowly, the…
Food 2007 – Ons Kabinet, Vught
Tuesday, 14th August 2007 – Ons Kabinet, Vught I didn’t get the mussels and frites last night – the restaurant I had in mind was closed on Tuesdays – but I’m not complaining because instead I ended up at Ons Kabinet, in Vught (next to my hotel for the week), which was wonderful… I opted…
