Monday, 19th March 2018 – Vienna Ideas To an extent this was a post for a very specific person back in 2005, but it was also a very useful exercise for me as a planning post – I’ve rechecked all the links and they are fully up to date so when next I visit it…

Food 2018 – Cassons, Tangmere
Saturday, 16th March 2018 – Cassons, Tangmere There are areas of the country that seem very bleak from a culinary point of view. Sussex, thankfully, is better than most counties in this respect, so while we were not exactly spoiled for choice when we went down to Goodwood, we did at least have a decent…
Travel 2018 – Chichester
Saturday, 16th March 2018 – Chichester We had tickets for the Sunday of the Goodwood Members’ Meeting this year and rather than haul out of bed at stupid o’clock we’d booked an Airbnb place in Chichester for the Saturday night so we could go down in good order and not have to worry about the…
Travel/Food 2018 – Gorilla, Copenhagen
Tuesday, 27th/Wednesday 28th February 2018 – Gorilla, Copenhagen And so for the second time this year I found myself in Copenhagen on business. This trip was quite a lot tougher. Due to a variety of circumstances, some of them down to my own lack of organisation, we’d been out late in London the night before…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 4
Monday, February 19th 2018 – Monaco It was our last day but we had plenty of time (and a late check-out at the hotel) so we took our own sweet time getting packed and ready to check out, having a cup of coffee while we enjoyed the views from the room over the harbour, and…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 3
Sunday, February 18th 2018 – Monaco After some pretty questionable weather we woke on Sunday to blue skies, bright sunshine and just the sort of weather we’d be hoping for. After another very pleasant breakfast we took the lift to the top floor of the hotel and set off towards the Casino, getting side-tracked by…
Food 2018 – Le Mirazur, Menton
Sunday, February 18th 2018 – Le Mirazur, Menton Back before Christmas we were sitting at home watching the latest series of Masterchef: The Professionals, and it was the penultimate programme. The remaining three competitors were shipped off to the south of France to cook at Le Mirazur. It looked amazing, and given that we knew…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 2
Saturday, February 17th 2018 – Monaco A late start was called for after a good night’s sleep. We aimed for a 10:00am breakfast, missed by 15 minutes, and finally got our act into gear to go out a little after 11. We’d decided that, despite the fact that we pretty much know Monte Carlo like…
Food 2018 – Blue Bay Restaurant, Monaco
Saturday, February 17th, 2018 – The Blue Bay Restaurant, Monaco We’d been looking for somewhere good to eat that wasn’t going to be stupidly expensive (which ruled out almost everywhere up by Casino Square) and I’d settled instead on the Blue Bay, just along the coast road towards Menton, at the point almost of the…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 1
Friday, 16th February 2018 – Vence, Monaco And so for Lynne’s 60th birthday weekend away we found ourselves on a stupid o’clock BA flight from Heathrow to Nice where we picked up a hire car (after a certain amount of trying to battle our way through the chaos that is the building work going on…
