Friday, 5th December 2008 – Berlin, Dresden Day 1 The Sixth Annual Girls’ Weekend Away (otherwise known as the “Credit Crunch be Damned!” GWA) was, I think, a success. Which was probably just as well as I did most of the organising. Anyway, enough of blowing my own trumpet, as it were. What happened and…

Travel 2008 – Fareham, Winchester
Saturday, 29th/Sunday, 30th November 2008 – Fareham, Winchester The weekend was busy, busy, busy, but also reasonably productive. Saturday we got up reasonably early, I collected some stuff from the garage (my car is in because the rebuilt gearbox has failed – still under warranty thankfully – as has the steering rack, which is not…
Travel 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11
Saturday, 14th/Tuesday, 17th November 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11 I was still feeling pretty rough on Saturday morning so breakfast was a slice of white toast, two imodium tablets and a very milky coffee, before we eventually headed for the paddock. Anyway, having encountered the world’s most unusual bellboy on the…
Travel 2008 – Macau, Days 5 – 7
Wednesday, 11th/Friday, 13th November 2008 – Macau, Days 5 – 7 As ever Wednesday was the day it all kicked off with the traditional photo opportunity/PR stunt held at Fisherman’s Wharf in the afternoon.

Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 4
Tuesday, 11th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 4 One of the best parts about using the Ambassador Club lounge is the view over the harbour, which was enhanced today by a fishing boat trawling just in front of the hotel. This had attracted the attention of one of the sea eagles (if my…
Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Day 3
Monday, 10th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Day 3 After a good night’s sleep, we got up latish, and went for breakfast in the Ambassador Club in the hotel. With a wide range of options, it was very good indeed, especially the freshly cooked omelette I went for. After that we set out to explore,…
Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Days 1 and 2
Saturday, 8th/Sunday, 9th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Days 1 and 2 After a certain amount of panicked packing the night before, and the cancellation of all appointments on Saturday, we got off to a leisurely start after a late breakfast, loading up the car at 1 pm and heading for Heathrow airport, leaving Andrea…
Food 2008 – Artisan
Saturday, 4th October – Artisan, Hessle We’ve also had a couple of really good weekends. October 4th/5th we headed north to see my Mum and sort a few things out for her. She wanted a new hifi system, having remarked more than once that the one that she’d had since 1971 (!) or thereabouts was…
Food 2008 – Halibut, Buckingham
Friday, 19th September 2008 – Halibut, Buckingham Friday evening we wandered into Buckingham intending to eat at the Buckingham Fort (a very nice Indian restaurant) but as I’d noticed a couple of new restaurants had sprung up since last I drove through Buckingham on a regular basis, we figured we’d have a bit of a…
Travel 2008 – Brighton
Saturday, 13th/Sunday, 14th September 2008 – Brighton The weekends have been busy of late and the weeks are just so busy that I don’t seem able to find time to tell anyone about it. That said, last weekend, we finally got to visit our friend Irene in Brighton (we’ve only been trying to achieve it…
