Bacon sandwiches

Fresh white bread, think, rindless bacon, butter, and brown sauce.  So much brown sauce, in fact, that I broke in to a sweat.  Perfect.

Madrid: Where to eat

Next time you’re in Madrid and fancy some really good chicken and a glass or four of cider, Casa Mingo’s (Paseo de la Florida) is the place to go. It’s about 800m from Estacion del Norte, or a 20 minute walk from the Palacio Real.
We had half a roast chicken each, mixed salad and two [...]

Flickr: Amazing Coincidence

Flickr is full of photos of the same flower, same angle of the Trevi Fountain, all devoid of emotion, inspiration and originality, but these two photos, taken by two different photographers from different viewpoints are amazing.

Fiona Bruce - “Saving Planet Earth”

Shakespeare

Just got back from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by RSC at The Swan in Stratford. Bl__dy hell! I studied “MacBeth” and “Romeo & Juliet” in school and hated it, but this was something else. It was incredible, performed in English and several South Asian languages, all interwoven, with acrobats, martial arts experts, and three brilliant [...]

Les Arcs - 17.02.2007 - 24.02.2007

Getting there
Setting off at 1.45 in the morning is how I like it. Clear roads make the drive to the airport easy. The boot full of luggage, skis tightly attached to the roof and TomTom spouting destructions at me when necessary.
We arrived at Coventry Airport at about 3.30, with two of the other [...]
