We know what you’re thinking – why oh why do we always buy turkey every year for Christmas dinner? It’s always so stressful trying not to serve up dry, cardboardy meat. Right? Wrong!… Continue reading
Easy like Sunday morning, as Mr Richie sang. Although there was nothing easy about this particular Sunday morning, apart from the prospect of an early lunch at Sugar Dumplin. Firstly there were a… Continue reading
Afternoon tea in London is showing no signs of disappearing, new twists are added all the time. There’s one for men (up our street), themed ones, Route Master ones, burger ones (surprised that… Continue reading

I have an idea of a new hotel concept – a cat hotel. Not a cattery, I mean a hotel for humans with resident cats. Humans like me who love cats but for… Continue reading
What is a pizza? We discovered recently that apparently a pizza with chicken as a topping is not a pizza, even worse, it is breaking pizza law. So what is it if it… Continue reading
