@timhayward Le Garet, Café des Fédérations and La Voûte Chez Léa are good if you want classic bouchon

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@timhayward I’ve heard good things about Micro Sillon and was a big fan of the owner’s previous place (Cafe Sillon)

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@Christina_SvR Micro Sillon and La Cave des Voyageurs

@edwinheathcote I used A1 Bespoke Joinery (Highgate) recently and I’m happy with the results

@kerryjeanlister @nickrgilbert I only did the Singapore—AUS leg with Singapore Airlines but would recommend them for both legs

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@kerryjeanlister @nickrgilbert I’ve been twice in the past two years and went via Singapore both times. You only need a few hours in Jewel—I wouldn’t overnight in Singapore

@TomChivers @cjsewall9 I make it n=25. The samples for the focus groups (n=15) and online forum (n=10) are distinct. The depth interviews are with forum participants.

@kerryjeanlister @1charliebennett is a big fan of these: https://t.co/MJLebIovnD

@SharmilaSub Tenerife a safer bet in Oct — I visited in Dec and temps were still low 20s

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@SharmilaSub If you book either I can let you know some good places to eat

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@SharmilaSub Tazacorte a good base in La Palma: it’s on the west coast — which is more reliably sunny late season — and a nice harbour area with a small beach

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@timhayward Loved it from the moment we walked in. We ate very well in Fowey too but Kings Arms is a very special place indeed

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@timhayward One good turn deserves another: I had a fantastic dinner at The Kings Arms in Mevagissey last weekend 🦞

[Dave Stenton @davestenton]

@timhayward You shouldn’t have the lid closed during brewing (only to pour) and you don’t want it to bubble through. Worth watching some YouTube vids. I made terrible coffee with a Bialetti for over a decade before discovering how to use one properly

@henrymance Texted this to a mate a couple of weeks ago: “Ed M just rode past me on a bike. He was doing a very good impression of having never ridden one before.”
