A la Colthard : The Market/Western Road Brighton

I am a huge fan of Spanish cuisine. Tapas has generated the concept of shared platters adopted by many cuisines. I like the idea of not taking alcohol on it’s own but accompanied by small helpings of food. Yesterday I returned to Market. The first time I enjoyed the food but not the experience as [...]

The future of medical science

The never-ending onward march of medical science is a wonderful thing but sometimes carries with it occasional causes to pause for thought. For me personally, every time I learn of some stunning new advance in research and/or treatment in (to take but two examples as illustration) say cancer or [...]

Wrapping up

I got back from a hot Nice to a cold, grey and wet south coast Friday. I am definitely in the school of ‘rent not buy’ when it comes to overseas property but it took 3 hours to pack everything up and another one to unpack sandwiched by a flight in a compacted easyJet flight with [...]

Gender equality revisited

At the risk of becoming the Rust’s ‘gender equality’ correspondent I return today to this subject. I’m minded to do so for two reasons. Firstly, earlier this week we were treated to the news that actress Sierra Boggess – someone whose existence I was previously unware of – has withdrawn [...]

The Mediterrenean diet

No  disrespect to Daffers and her ilk that spend significant amount of their waking hours in restaurants but often you cannot beat a simple meal at home. Yesterday after a stroll down the Promenade we partook of asparagus, prawns, ham and salad all fresh from the market that day on the terrace and [...]

A la Colthard/ Colombe d’Or

I make no apologies for reviewing again this restaurant which I visited with a friend yesterday. What makes it so special? Firstly, it is the setting in St Paul de Vence, a hillside town, in an old inn. Although the dining room houses the exceptional art collection on a warm day a table on the [...]

Where we are all going

Yesterday I witnessed on television an item about the official unveiling of a statue in Parliament Square of – no doubt a great lady – the Suffragette Millie Fawcett who thereby became the first female ever to be so honoured. Many thousands were present on this memorable occasion and, on the [...]

Whatever we choose to eat

Yesterday about noon, in advance of an enjoyable family BBQ lunch in the south of England, a nephew I hadn’t seen in a while – still somewhat hungover having been out on the tiles in London until 4.00am before being driven down by his father – was ‘shooting the breeze’ [...]
