Back to Sevilla

I enjoyed Córdoba and the Mezquita was memorable but 2 days there is sufficient. My original plan was to go from there to Granada to see the Alhambra and I admit I was miffed when my travelling companion who appears to be at her elderly mother’s beck and call changed her (and our) plans as [...]

Getting around Seville

Getting around Seville is no easy matter. However well you prep and map plan, once in the winding streets, often very narrow and lacking signage, you soon are lost. It’s just as well the Sevillans seem a friendly sort as they must be asked many times a day “What is the way to?” [...]

Seville explored

Given the extreme difficulty I had in locating my room, I decided to take all necessary precautions when I left it at 8.00am yesterday.

With two caveats the dining experience at the Caxton Grill was first class. Normally I am not one for offers through internet intermediaries but meeting an old friend – not that sort!!!! – in Victoria I came across the Caxton Grill off Victoria Street and an offer of 3 courses plus [...]

On this organ we sometimes poke fun at the ways of the media – you know the sort of thing, ‘silly summer stories’, spectacular ‘fails’ going viral, and of course the time-honoured staple of madcap scientific surveys with blanket generalisations for conclusions that are either [...]

A trying day

Yesterday I had a meeting with the editor of The Rust as he wanted me to contribute a regular article on business. Apparently my contribution to the article on alternative investments was well received. I duly met Richard Bolton at my local yacht club. I am no yottie but it has a good view over the [...]

A bit of a find

Yesterday I teamed up with a brother for a military-style mission to take our 91 year old father to a Harley Street consultation in central London. My brother did the ‘pick up’ by travelling to the coast and driving said parent to my place in south London, after which my contribution would be [...]

A la Colthard/ Cornish Restaurant update

I have been uniformly impresseed by the service , price and freshness of food at all the Cornish restaurants we have visited on the trip. HAVENERS This used to be called Food for Thought but the owner had his collar felt for unlawful abstraction of gas. It’s now owned by St Austell Brewery [...]

A la Colthard/ The Jetty, Chichester Harbour

For many years Murrays at the Ship Hotel was the destination of choice for a meal at Chichester. It has now been taken over by the Harbour chain that operate boutique hotels along the south coast. It’s had a total makeover with the familiar mustard banquettes of the Brighton Harbour. It keeps [...]

A la Colthard/ updates

  English’s My recent visit more or less coincided with a less than positive review in The Mail on Sunday from Andrew Parker Bowles. The gist of his critique was that he was disappointed when ordering off piste by the tempura oysters and tuna tartare and at £49 the lobster thermidor was [...]
