What’s Hot

Une Journee sur la Cote

Michel Di Vacri We so enjoy the Rust visit here. ‘Monsieur Tickle’ as he is known is quite a character in a region where many British characters have settled. They chose a good time of the year. In May we have the Cannes film festival and Monaco Grand Prix so things get hectic and stay [...]

A la Colthard

Like Bob, I always look forward to the annual Rust pilgrimage to Nice with girlie expectation. We might even start another great Rust debate as to the merits or otherwise of visiting the same place. On one hand, we all know Nice well as this is our third time but on the other as life draws on [...]

Nice

The advance party left a cold and blustery Sussex yesterday early morning and within 5 hours we were enjoying the Royal Sea Food platter in Nice’s finest fish restaurant. The party comprised myself, Daffers and her p/a,  a French lady called Valerie. Valerie had immediately established her [...]

TEFAF Maasricht

The great and the the good of the art world have  beeb gathering in the pretty Dutch town of Maastricht, once the battleground for the ancient Tory Brexiteers – for TEFAF, an art convention of dealers. One of the talking points will be the indictment of Jonathan Green of the Green art [...]

The Andrew Marr Show

The Andrew Marr show may be BBC’s flagship political programme and required viewing for many but in true contrarian Campion-Brown fashion I don’t like it. Why? Firstly it is too focused around the presenter. Aside from the title and a tv screen that reads ‘Marr’, the programme begins [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 QPR 2

It was the annual dinner last night at the Hydra Hotel Eastbourne of the Chamois Society, the Federation of British Window Cleaners of which I am regional social secretary and I had to miss out on the trip to Craven Cottage and watch the game broadcast on SKY. Given the cold I was secretly pleased [...]

A la Colthard/ Schwarzreiter/ Bayerischer Hof

I prepped up on Munich restaurants and Schwarzreiter came up trumps. I was concerned as it was located in the Four Seasons Hotel and hotel restaurants can lack atmosphere and attract only a business clientele.  In fact it had a separate entrance and the number of business people were outnumbered [...]

Seeing the sights

Yesterday we visited the BMW WELT and the BMW museum and the Olympic Park which is nearby. BMW stands for Bayerischer Motoren Werken. They started business providing engines for aircraft for the first German Air Force but in 1929 took over another car company in Thuringen and went into car [...]

Olympiastadion

It was eerie visiting the Olympic Park on a rainy day as there was almost no one there. It’s now used as a concert venue – Bayern played their  last game there in 2005 and moved to the Allianz Arena. Their fans wanted a noisier atmosphere and to be nearer the pitch The 1972 Olympiad [...]

The Allianz Arena

Yesterday I made the tour of the Allianz Arena home of Bayern Munich. It’s a fifteen-minute drive from the centre of the motorway near the main BMW sales office. You see what looks like a giant padded football from distance. Our guide explained that the facade is composed of 4,756 unique panels [...]
