Pitt Cue started life as a street food van serving American BBQ food under Hungerford Bridge. They then opened a restaurant in Soho and have just moved to much bigger premises in Spitalfields. See what dad thought about his meal there by clicking here
After a brief break, I’m resuming my review of dad’s, ‘future mum’s’ and my trip to the USA last summer
In my and dad’s lifetime, the attacks on New York on 9/11 were one of the ‘where were you you’ moments. The collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Centre and surrounding buildings left a huge gaping scar in the middle of lower Manhattan
There have been many arguments as to how to redevelop this site and the resulting delays have left a hole in the heart of the city though interestingly, many images on things like postcards have continued to carry the Twin Towers on them since the attack
Finally, things are moving and the first tall building to emerge has been the Freedom Tower, built to an exacting 1776 feet to reflect the USA’s year of independence
Hi there. It’s Patchy Bear and Ski Bear again. One last post about our ski holiday to Les Gets in France
Heathrow Airport is rebuilding some of its older terminals. The newest of these is currently terminal 2, known as the Queen’s Terminal. It hosts mainly European airlines. We flew out with Swiss airlines, which had the most comprehensive self check in process – you even have to tag your own check in baggage
Security was efficient and we were soon airside. Lots of seating and high end shops. Certainly the most interesting and varied restaurant choice of any of the Heathrow terminals Continue reading
Dad and ‘future mom’ took some foodie friends to Antidote restaurant in London. See if they enjoyed their meal there by clicking here
Patchy Bear and Ski Bear here. We’re guest reviewing about our recent holiday to Les Gets in France. In this video, see if you can spot the ninja skier (dad) before he emerges
It’s Patchy Bear and Ski Bear here. Today, we see dad on the ski slope. He seems to be doing so well til the end of the video when he gets video-bombed by a much better skier! Hehe
Patchy Bear and Ski Bear here, guest reviewing dad and his sister’s recent ski holiday to Les Gets in France
Sis did the organisation and chose Geneva airport because of its proximity to quite a few ski resorts, making it ideal for a short ski break as you can ski on the day of arrival and day of departure
Geneva Airport was efficient but not the most aesthetically pleasing building from the outside. Last year, dad and sis hired a car with some friends and driving back to the rental car return is a small adventure. There’s only one unmanned petrol station to refuel and it only takes cards. Parking spaces in the airport are very tight
The inside is more pleasant and run with Swiss efficiency. The self check in kiosks and self baggage labelling machines take a little bit of getting used to. Make sure you wait for your rectangular boarding pass to come out before leaving. It does takes a long time to come out after everything seems to be finished and quite a few people left without their boarding pass Continue reading
Patchy Bear and Ski Bear here. We’re continuing our reviews from the ski resort of Les Gets in France
Dad did check up on restaurants in Les Gets before the trip and La R’mize was the top-ranked restaurant on Tripadvisor. A couple of emails and the table was booked for dinner
La R’mize is in the old town, a 5 minute walk from the main ski area of Les Gets. Dad and sis arrived to a ‘restaurant complet’ sign, so it was a good thing that dad booked a table. They don’t have online reservations but respond promptly to emails
Patchy Bear and Ski Bear here. Today, we’re sharing a funny video from our recent holiday to Les Gets in France. Using a video of dad in the snow park, we’re showing how not to go over a ski jump. The jumper’s weight should be further forward in order to land on your skis. Make sure to have the sound on to hear dad’s cry of ‘arrgh’ as he flies over the jump, ever so slightly out if control! Hehe
It’s Patchy Bear and Ski Bear here, guest reviewing about our ski trip to Les Gets with dad and his sister
With the exception of celebrity hangouts like Aspen and Vail, ski resorts aren’t usually blessed with gourmet dining. In France, the dining scene in ski resorts is dominated by traditional French cuisine
As dad and sis wandered around Les Gets on their first evening there, quite a few restaurants serving standard fare were full but they stumbled upon a real gem in Restaurant L’Outa
