Imagine arranging a night out, when you don’t know where your going. Imagine having a five course dinner arranged, but you don’t know what your eating. Imagine arriving at a venue, when you have no idea what you are going to be experiencing. Well this was us recently and I can tell you, it was blooming fantastic! Trying Immersive dining for the first time was…
Like the rest of us, (hopefully) I have become very aware that it is all of our responsibility to care for planet Earth, and try to reduce the damage we are doing to this beautiful home of ours. Last year I made a vow that I was going to move towards trying to live more sustainably, try to find brands for my beauty items that…
With its pastel blue exterior, cute pavement cafe style outdoor seating area, Mildreds, in the heart of London’s Soho, is as far removed from its original use as a seedy sex club, (complete with S&M padded cell in the basement) as you can get! Mildreds has been serving beautiful vegetarian and vegan food since the 80’s, and has grown so much in popularity, that it…
Ohhhhh now. This is one of those posts where I am not quite sure where it is going, but I feel the need to sit and write.

Turning right out of Goodge Street tube station in Londons West End, a short stroll along the road (avoiding the temptation of Oliver Bonas and all its interiors godliness that you have to pass by) you will see the hot pink facia of the Kalifornia Kitchen vegan utopia in London ahead of you. Bright blue coloured tables and chairs are set out the front, along…
You know sometimes, all the planets align and everything just works out? Well that was us last week. Nik was just starting to feel better from his rough weeks after his chemo treatment, our boys were off doing their own thing, we had been invited to a book launch in Covent Garden, and it was my birthday! All of that was reason enough to just…
I love food. Plane and simple, food makes me happy. I love the social aspect of eating around a table, the laughter, the chatting. It just makes me feel content. Well Las Iguanas, the popular latin american inspired food chain, encourages you to do just that. In fact, despite Nik and I being invited to the re-launch of the Thurrock Lakeside branch of the chain…
The cases were closed. One last check of the weight, just to reassure myself for the ninety-ith time that they were not over our allowance, I satisfied myself of this and locked the case. Wheeling this last bit of luggage over to the front door to join the other bags, I was satisfied that all was ready. City breaks have shaped our holiday habits for…
