Monday September 25th – Day 3, Trier, Neumagen-Dhron, Veldenz, Zeltingen-Rachtig On Monday we were still with the Romans, starting the day at the Amphitheatre, which was just down the road from our hotel. The day again started with fog on the heights, and it was chilly and damp, which may have been why we pretty…

Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 2
Sunday September 24th – Day 2 Â – Nennig, Konz, Trier After a truly awful run through what seemed to be very steep vineyards (not helped by the fog that had dropped down overnight or the amount of food eaten the night before) we got our act together, had a lovely breakfast, and checked out of…
Food 2017 – Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau And so to dinner on the very first day of the holiday. I’m not sure why but I was a bit surprised on looking at dining options for the hotel to discover that in addition to a hotel restaurant, and a bistro-type establishment,…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 1
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Eurotunnel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany And so the long awaited “big” holiday of 2017 rolled around and after much complicated planning we were off to spend two weeks (almost) meandering along the course of the Mosel (or the Moselle as the Brits call it), visiting castles, implausibly pretty little…
Theatre 2017 – Macbeth, Iris Theatre Company
Saturday 24th June, 2017 – Macbeth, Iris Theatre Company, St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden On Saturday afternoon we attended a performance by the Iris Theatre Company of Macbeth at St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, also known as The Actors’ Church. It is therefore fitting that it has a theatre company all its own, and it…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 4, Tuusula, Finland
Monday 12th June, 2017 – Tuusula, Finland And so, after a gloriously sunny Sunday, we were back in the gloom on Monday, with a cold damp morning and increasing drizzle. It was time to go home anyway, and we’d had a text from Finnair suggesting that, as it was the first day of the Summer…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 3, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Sunday June 11th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland And so on Sunday, having spent Saturday half-frozen, the temperature went up by around 12 degrees Celsius, and pretty much all of the town seemed to be out and about in shorts, and sunburned noses. We made our way to the circuit where we enjoyed some very fine…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 2, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Saturday 10th June, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland Saturday saw us mostly at the race track and mostly inside as it was extremely cold out there. We did emerge from the cafe for the SMP F4 NEZ babies, and for the Porsches, once we realised that the son of someone we used to watch race was…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 1, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Friday June 9th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna, Finland We learned quite a lot on our most recent trip to Finland, starting with “just because it’s June, don’t expect it to be warm!” and rounding up to “there is absolutely sod all to do in Hämeenlinna on a Sunday night after 9pm”! It was probably the latter…
Travel 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen
Monday, 22nd/Thursday, 25th May 2017 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Færgekroen Bryghus, Copenhagen May in Copenhagen made a welcome change as otherwise I only seemed to be getting there when it was cold and dark, and while the place has its charms even in those conditions, it’s far pleasanter in the summer months. The difference was noticeable…
