Sunday, December 2nd 2018 – Helsinki, Day 4 Sunday we were back under cloudy skies, with the threat of snow, so we decided we’d do the Panorama Bus Tour (again included on the Helsinki Card) starting at 11:00, then grab some lunch at the Christmas Market because we’d not managed to have a Finnish sausage…

Travel 2018 – Helsinki, Day 3
Saturday, December 1st 2018 – Helsinki, Day 3 And so on Day 3 we knew we had several Christmas-related things to do, so after running Tokoinranta parkrun, and coffee and cake for breakfast for me, we headed down the Esplanadi again with intent to go over to Suomenlinna, where I’d been told there would be…
Travel 2018 – Helsinki, Day 2
Friday, 30th November 2018 – Helsinki, Day 2 Friday started slowly, and we spent some time enjoying breakfast in the hotel (I’m told it’s been voted Finland’s best breakfast and though I can’t verify that, it is a very good breakfast indeed and is improved further by being included in the room rate, as is…
Travel 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine, Days 2 and 3
Tuesday, 18th September/Wednesday, 19th September 2018 – Kyiv, Days 2 and 3 Day 2 was manic and intense work-wise, and the only sightseeing that was done was from the seat of a mini bus taking us back and forth from the hotel to the office, mostly while stuck in traffic that wasn’t much going anywhere….
Travel 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine, Day 1
Monday, 17th September 2018 – Kyiv, Day 1 Finding myself in Kyiv for a 2-workshop and meeting session with the rest of the 12-strong team I am part of, the London contingent (two of us) were on the ground and in our hotel about 3 hours ahead of everyone else, so with the dispensation of…
Travel 2018 – Fishbourne Roman Palace, Chichester
Saturday, 8th September 2018 – Fishbourne Roman Palace, Chichester I have no idea why but I’ve never been to Fishbourne Roman Palace. The only reason I can come up with is that we never went on holiday to Sussex (though I had an address there for a couple of decades – I didn’t do a…
Travel 2018 – Chernihiv, Ukraine
Thursday, 30th August 2018 – Chernihiv, Ukraine I have to say I would have been massively disappointed to go all the way to the north of Ukraine and then not see anything other than the road from the airport, and the resort hotel. On the way to our destination on the Tuesday, as we hit…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 3, Pedways/Highwalks, London
Thursday, 23rd August 2018 – Pedways and Highwalks, EC1 & EC2, London Another sunny lunchtime, another opportunity to circulate round the City of London getting fresh air (well at least once I got away from the main roads), some exercise and a look at some more of the history, both ancient and more recent, of…
Travel 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 2, The London Mithraeum, Bloomberg Arcade, London
Thursday, 16th August 2018 – The London Mithraeum, Bloomberg Arcade, London I recently came to the conclusion that my lunch breaks on the days I don’t work from home could be usefully dedicated to doing some tourism in London, especially given how close the office is to a number of interesting sights and sites. And…
Travel 2018 – Stonehenge, Amesbury
Sunday, August 5th 2018 – Stonehenge, Amesbury, Wiltshire For many, many years we’ve driven past Stonehenge on the A303, usually getting to somewhere to stay for Thruxton, but we’ve never stopped off. Even as a child on motoring holidays to Cornwall, we’d never stopped. So as we were less than an hour away in our…
