Monday, May 7th – Day 3, Troyes, Etoges Monday morning dawned sunny and clear so I set off for a run around the village. It wasn’t easy to cover much mileage without having to test every side road available, unless I wanted to run along the main roads. Given the sheer volume of farm traffic…

Food 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford
Saturday, 24th March 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford This was our second visit to the Oxford Kitchen, mainly to confirm that we were right the first time about how good it is. With plans to be in the town on Friday night post Copenhagen for a college reunion, it seemed like a good plan…

Fitness 2018 – Blenheim 7k, Blenheim Palace
Sunday, 29th April 2018 – Blenheim 7k, Blenheim Palace Having not run any sort of race since the Silverstone 10K two years ago, the Blenheim 7K seemed like a conveniently sensible distance in a conveniently close location, it being only 40 minutes or so away by road. So I figured what the hell, I’d go…
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.
