Every now and again, an event we get invited to will exceed all expectation and end up creating memories I never could have imagined; this is what happened when we were sent down to Brighton for the weekend with ibis Hotels and Big Beach Screen Events. We jumped in the car, got stuck in traffic, sung our hearts to Alexisonfire and finally arrived in Brighton…

With CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) choosing Essex as a destination for their festivals, it’s hardly surprising that Essex breweries (and vineyards) are ‘jumping on the beer (and wine) wagon’ and attending food and drink festivals all over the county. East Anglian Railway Museum at Chappel near Colchester has been home to the CAMRA festivals for over 30 years – the 31st one will take…

Katy can put on one hell of a spread and feed 10 hungry bloggers without breaking a sweat! She teamed up with Newman’s Own to make us some of the best…

Wine delivered to your door is pretty much my dream in life, and when it’s wine that I’ve not had to pick it’s even better. That’s where Le Petit Ballon Wine Club comes into things; they are a monthly subscription wine company and every month they send customers a box including 2 bottles of wine, tasting notes, and the Le Petit Ballon Gazette which is…
