Fun Bank Holiday in Bristol

For the May Bank holiday, we spent the time in Bristol.

Dublin trip

Took the train from Foxford to Dublin on Friday morning which took three and a half hours but meant that we avoided the insanity of the Titanic celebrations in Lahardane.

Easter in Ireland

Easter has begun Ireland with the eating of chocolate eggs.

Snowboarding Tignes

This week I’m in Tignes, France snowboarding with some friends from work.

Hmmmm Steak

Yesterday I was hungry so I chanced my arm at cooking a steak. I’ve never tried cooking a steak before and didn’t really know what I was doing when I started but here is what I did. For record, I followed the cooking suggestions on the back of the steak packet and didn’t just wing it!

Save The Castle

Sad news has reached us. Our beloved Castle has just learned that a planning application has been sent to the council to knock it down and build apartments and a parking lot!

Go to wandsworth.gov.uk find a planning application and search for application number 2012/0229 to protest and keep track of the application.

Afternoon tea and ice skating

Today we went to have afternoon tea at the Washington Mayfair Hotel. Nice place and lovely atmosphere but I don’t think I’d come here again. Staff are friendly enough and at £25 a head for afternoon tea including a cocktail, the price isn’t bad. What spoiled it is the poor quality of the food and drinks. Tasted like it was pre packed and not made up fresh.

Masa Bristol - A great sushi place

Happy New Year to all.

To celebrate, I’ve just eaten some excellent sushi at Masa in Bristol. Really nice and cozy and some wonderful cooking too!
