Sunday, March 5th 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Zaltbommel After another excellent (but egg-avoiding) breakfast, we headed out again, discovering the local market was in full swing. A stop to buy bread was essential although I was impressed that we managed to avoid caving in to our taste-buds and didn’t buy vast amounts of cheese to go…

Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Vught, Day 2
Friday, March 4th 2016 – Day 2Â (S’Hertogenbosch, Vught) A good night’s sleep and we woke to decidedly inclement weather, unfortunately. However, breakfast was in the dry of the hotel undercroft. It was a fairly impressive buffet, though it did come with the semi-compulsory egg that is a feature of everywhere I’ve ever stayed in…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Day 1
Thursday, March 3rd 2016 – Den Bosch We’d been planning on catching the Hieronymus Bosch exhibition in his home town of S’Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch as it’s more commonly -and pronounceably – known) since we’d first got wind of it back in 2015, and the looming new job start focussed our minds on getting it…
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 3
Monday, December 14th 2016 – Bruges Monday was “how many museums can you pack into one day” as we endeavoured to see as much as possible and coincidentally also get as much value for money as we could out of the Bruges City Card. We were woken early anyway as we’d left the window open…
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…
Food 2015 РRobuchon au D̫me, Macau
During our trip to Macau last year we found ourselves dining in the first three-Michelin-starred restaurant we’ve ever managed to get a table at, it being close to impossible to do such things in the UK without a) booking three years’ in advance and b) committing bank robbery on a grand scale to pay for…
Food 2015 – BT Tower (Celebrating the BT Tower’s 50th Birthday), London
Oh boy have I been neglecting this… so without further ado, I’m back. From now on the motor racing stuff will all be on juniorformulamotorsport.org and everything else will be here. I shall further preface this by saying that it is incredibly rare for me to win anything ever. I’ve had the odd Premium Bond…
Food 2014 – Baltic Bar and Restaurant, London
So after the harrowing experience that was the Crucible at the Old Vic, we figured dinner and a couple of drinks might well be necessary. With this is mind I had reserved a table at Baltic which is but a short, stunned lurch from the theatre. We’ve eaten there before and find that the food,…
