Wednesday, 25th September 2019 – Sankt Peter, Breisach, Ihringen A late breakfast in the Hotel Schlossmühle was very good, though they did try to insist we should have an egg each, and then I had a suggestion or two that met with Lynne’s approval for what we should do with the day. First I wanted…

Theatre 2019 – Richard III, Royal and Derngate, Northampton
Saturday, 25th May 2019 – Richard III, Royal and Derngate Theatre, Northampton Well, that was… interesting. I think that’s the word I’m going to go with. Lynne probably had it best when she said it was very much the ITV version of Richard III. My take was it was Richard III but it wasn’t Shakespeare…
Food 2018 – Moro, London
Saturday, 8th December 2018 – Moro, London A trip to Moro in December has become a tradition for ourselves and a number of our friends, and is tacked on to the end of a visit to Sadlers’ Wells Theatre for whatever dance treat Matthew Bourne has laid on in the run up to Christmas. This…
Theatre 2018 – King Lear, Duke of York’s Theatre, London
Saturday, September 29th 2018 – King Lear, Duke of York’s Theatre, London We swore after our 2016 “Year of Lear”, having seen Michael Pennington, Sir Anthony Sher and Dame Glenda Jackson all give superb if wildly different interpretations of the role, that we would spare ourselves the gloom of it for a while and would…
Theatre 2018 – Richard III, Rose Theatre, York
Saturday, 7th July 2018 – Richard III, Rose Theatre, York Word of Europe’s first pop-up Shakespearean theatre, the Rose, had been circulating round last year and when the tickets went on sale, and we realised that one of the plays on offer was Richard III, we knew we had to get tickets. We’ve been to…
Travel/Food 2018 – York, Raskelf, Day 2
Saturday, 7th July 2018 – York, Raskelf Saturday morning was just as warm as Friday so we were quite pleased to have a variety of things indoors or at least undercover to do, starting with a visit to the Jorvik Viking Centre that we’d pre-booked to avoid having to queue. As we were ready a…
Theatre 2018 – The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Noel Coward Theatre, London
Saturday, 30th June 2018 – The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Noel Coward Theatre, London London theatre these days seems to be in the throes of a slightly odd period, where it’s still wall-to-wall musicals (gods help us), many of them old, some of them revivals, some of them new but rehashing old music, and the odd…
Food 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton
Friday, 13th April 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton And so, knowing we would be out at the Errol Flynn Filmhouse later in the evening, we decided we’d have a second shot at Hibiscus, the fine dining restaurant (their words, not mine, but it is justifiable) tucked away inside the building. We’d booked in early with intent…
Travel/Food 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull, Beverley, Raskelf
Saturday, 11th/Sunday, 12th November 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull (Hull) This was a much shorter visit than the one in May, as we only stayed one night (at the splendidly-located City Centre Premier Inn right by The Deep) and arrived an hour or so before the start of the performance we were there to see, the “Last…
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…
