On a recent trip to Mexico City a couple of months ago we stayed at the Hotel Geneve, one of the oldest hotels in Mexico City. As you slowly make your way through crowded and busy street you certainly don’t expect to arrive at this […]
My granddaughter (Little Miss) recently turned nine years old. Where did the time go? I remember being handed a little 5lb12oz pink bundle and suddenly she is fast growing into a gorgeous young lady!! Little Miss’s mother is a Manager at Pizza Express in Milton […]
I was invited to lunch at Sopwell House in St Albans with fellow blogger Fiona (London Unattached) which was very convenient for me as I live just 10 minutes away in St Albans. I picked Fiona up at St Albans train station and off we […]

I first fell in love with oysters on a beach in Cancale in France where the oysters were brought in from their beds only a few yards from the shore to the shacks selling them by the coast. They were so fresh filling your mouth […]
When I was talking to Neil, my brother-in-law last year he was telling me about a couple of music festivals he had been to recently. He was so excited and passionate that I asked him to write them down and share his experiences here. So […]
Kung Hei Fat Choi! Once again it is time for the Chinese New Year and this year is the Year of The Rooster! I wanted to show how easy it is to make some really good Chinese food at home. You don’t need loads of […]
