James is an enthusiastic eater

7 November 2024

James is quite a enthusiastic eater. Food is an experience to be enjoyed with both hands, often with a spoon (held high to avoid getting it dirty), and sometimes is best worn than eaten. Originally posted on this post on Instagram

Throwback to our favourite curry restaurant

23 October 2024

Throwback to a pleasant trip to our favourite curry resturant in Manchester. Not on curry mile, Lily's is a goldmine of food for us, and James was keen on the starters. When it was a bit hot, mummy pippet'd lassi into his mouth like a pro! Originally posted on this post on Instagram

Candlelight dinners on Caving Crew trips

6 July 2022

We don't always have Caving Crew trip dinners by Candlelight, but when we do, we do it for good reasons. Equally, cakes are usually not cooked in woks… but wokever it takes! Originally posted on this post on Instagram

The food on Caving Crew trip is equally important

The food on Caving Crew trip is as least as important as on Climbing Clan Trips. Dean… will you cater for us again please?

Food and socialising on Climbing Clan trips

14 June 2022

A significant part of Climbing Clan trip is the food and socialising. We cater for all dietary requirements, including vegans, gluten-free, absolutely-no-dairy, strong preference towards meat, allergic to humour. (Actually, not that last one). Meals with the Clan are one of my favourite parts

A Blue Ocean business plan for you: The Carrot Soup Company

7 July 2014

I've been reading Blue Ocean Strategy over the past week. I'll write up my thoughts on the book in due course – I've not quite finished it yet. Clara & I were throwing around the main premise of the book – about how to create Blue Ocean markets – and break away from the existing […]

Diet: what I ate

18 December 2012

I've never particuarly given a lot of thought to food. To me at least, food is fuel for doing cool stuff, that happens, sometimes, to be quite enjoyable. I can understand that this may be somewhat at odds with approaches to food as a creative outlet – I can sympathise with this – occasionally I […]

Why am I vegetarian? A two decade retrospective.

19 November 2012

I'm vegetarian, but I talk about it as little as possible. Years and years of people asking me the same question, throughout my childhood, teenage years and adult life have rather blotted out any emerging desires to talk about it, but I think it's important to explain… I was raised in a vegetarian family. When […]

#timontour Abisko/Kungsleden 2012

2 October 2012

When I first thought about going hiking in Northern Sweden, I had considered doing it in summer, with beautiful sunshine beating down, swimming in glacier fed lakes… In fact, I chose not to do it then because I didn't fancy 24 hour sunlight if I was trying to camp in a tent… In October, there will be […]

How to cheat at cooking lunch!

8 February 2012

Some ongoing battles of mine are to eat: more cheaply more healthily more variedly and less of it. I don't mind Point 1 that much, I already shop at ALDI for almost everything. However, trying to cut down on any kind of meal out is something I'm working on. Lunches being a particular problem. Point […]
