Slipping into spring in my stylish mahabis If you spend a lot of time working from home like me, a good pair of slippers is essential. Slippers that feel good tend to be a little more expensive and properly structured with a good footbed. I’m a big fan of natural fibres and my need to […]

South Place Hotel – Valentine’s Review
Naughty or Nice? It’s that time of year. The annual ritual of the last-minute panic to buy your loved one/s a card, flowers and chocolates and then book a restaurant is upon us.

Baking workshop at Le Cordon Bleu, London
Sourdough doughnuts and cinnamon rolls on the menu A pre-Christmas baking workshop at Le Cordon Bleu London was a treat with bells on.

Christmas in the City
Visit and explore Christmas in the City of London A mild evening spent exploring the City of London’s Christmas offerings got me well into the festive spirit. Not that I am any sort of Grinch, just that I have not had much time to get out and enjoy the lights, festive foods and spirit. There […]
Russell Hobbs Satisfry Air Fryer and Grill Multicooker – Roast Partridge
Feasting on Roast Partridge with a Satisfry With limited kitchen space, it’s vital for me that any new gadget I introduce is compact, smart, easy to clean and multifunctional.
