Thursday, 13th September 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 4, London Wall and Spitalfields, London It had to be done. I’d said nice things about the Duck Truck on Twitter and out of the blue they offered me a free lunch, so on a sunny Thursday lunchtime I decided I’d collect on the offer. I also…

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 – Kyiv to Chernihiv, Ukraine
Tuesday, 28th August/Friday, 31st August 2018 – Kyiv, Chernihiv, Ukraine For work I found myself this week in a country I’ve never been to before (though there is family history, and not happy family history with the country). I wasn’t going to let that trouble me mind, or at least I didn’t want to let…
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/Food 2018 – Lunchtime Tourism, Day 1, Old Spitalfields Market, London
Tuesday 8th August 2018 – Old Spitalfields Market, London It’s all very well working somewhere for a couple of years but eventually you get a bit bored with the same old streets every day. With that in mind, I’ve resolved to do some “lunchtime tourism” to see what I can see in the space of…
Travel 2018 – Basildon Park, Berkshire
Saturday, August 4th 2018 – Basildon Park, Berkshire Headed for an evening at a particularly excellent restaurant in Berkshire (or possibly Wiltshire – I haven’t double checked yet) we were casting around for something to do in the afternoon, to make it into more of a “holiday” than just a trip out for dinner. After…
Travel 2018 – The Depot, Weedon Bec
Saturday, 28th July 2018 – The Depot, Weedon Bec I got wind of this place when people I know started mentioning, in passing, book events that were taking place there. I drive past Weedon Bec on a regular basis, and even used to go to the dentist there, so how I’d missed the Depot is…
Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Days 18 and 19, Larrabetzu, Bilbao, Portsmouth, Home
Tuesday, May 22nd/Wednesday, May 23rd – Days 18 and 19, Larrabetzu, Bilbao, Portsmouth, Home Up early, we found the drive to the ferry port was very easy, and very quick, from the hotel. We hadn’t booked breakfast, because we figured on getting something on the ferry, and so check out was quick and easy, even…
Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 17, Pau, Gan, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Larrabetzu, Amorebieta
Monday, May 21st – Day 17, Pau, Gan, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Larrabetzu, Amorebieta I was woken up early by the sound of the street cleaning machines trundling around the Place Gourmande site on Place Georges Clemenceau, so between the noisy revellers the night before and the local council’s street cleaning department, I’d managed about 5 hours sleep….
