It can be strange can’t it, this ole thing called life. So many twists and turns. Well a strangers kindness provided us with a tranquil escape in Pembrokeshire, that we perhaps didn’t realise quite how much we needed. Nik and I have always found that being surrounded by nature is restorative and restful, and the beautiful bolt hole in Pembrokeshire that we have just returned…
Stepping outside of the tube station in Hammersmith, West London, we were a little unsure where we were heading for our afternoon tea. We knew we were off to The Melody restaurant, and we knew it was located within St Paul’s Hotel. That was what our gift experience voucher informed us anyway. We had been gifted this afternoon tea at The Melody by our eldest…

Brunch. The fanciest of fancy-ness. There is something a little indulgent about having brunch, especially when it is accompanied by beautifully chilled glasses of champagne! Well, we were that fancy last weekend when we headed up to the 39th floor of the iconic Gherkin to try the Searcys Sunday brunch in the Helix restaurant. Now, Sunday brunch at The Gherkin comprises of four courses, so…
Cast your mind back to your childhood. Did you ever go down to the bottom of your garden, be it a big or small area, to investigate what was under rocks or whether there really was fairies living at the end?
