When it comes to the spring, I love getting out and going for picnics. I tend to enjoy them a lot more then, than I do in Summer as I’m not a huge fan of sunshine and getting sunburnt! Pale skin problems are the bane of my life! Spring brings the promise of longer days, and it’s often still light after work so it means…

A good way to lift your mood is using colour around your house, so it can be a great feature if you want to add extra flare and dynamic to your kitchen’s design. Kitchens do generally tend to be a white or cream shade, but adding a bespoke colour scheme, or a hand-painted bespoke design, can really bring life to your kitchen. Together with Harvey…

As you should all know by now, I’m a huge fan of eating out, and I’m an even bigger fan of when new eateries open up close to home so I don’t have to travel too far for food! So you can imagine how happy I was when it was announced that Raymond Blanc would be opening up in Upminster. He had bought a dingy…

There’s no secret to my American food addiction, I’m pretty open about it and today I’m going to divulge into this a little more with some gushing words about The Diner in Islington. I never say no to the chance to dine in American style establishments as they’re pretty much my favourite kind of food stop! The Diner, a well-known diner-style chain, has recently refurbished…

But having to head over to America to do this is a…

The average Marathon runner will burn between 2900 and 3500 calories as they negotiate the 26.2 mile Virgin London Marathon course on this weekend. With energy levels low, runners will need to recharge their batteries with a lunch of champions. Or in my case, it’ll be a dinner of champions as I’m so slow! To help replenish their depleted fuel tanks, the Royal China Group…

Towards the end of last month, Mike and I headed down to Venerdi, a newly refurbished Italian restaurant in Homerton. On first impressions, the decor was pretty much how I would decorate a restaurant if I had one so that meant we were off to a good start. It was a Thursday evening and at 18:30 the majority of seats were already taken by families…

When it comes to Easter, we’re not very traditional.  We’re the same with most celebration days, for example, for Mother’s Day, we go out the weekend before as we hate going out on the day as you get rushed, it’s usually a set menu, and the service can be pretty bad too. So we decided to host a little Afternoon Tea Easter celebration this year. We…
