Take a Ride to the Dark Side: I have to be honest, the words ‘Immersive Theatre’ usually fill me with dread. I’m far too much of a typically repressed Englishwoman to want to interact with actors. But when an invitation came to dine on board a train headed to the underworld, with the food […]
Young’s Pubs get their head in the game this Autumn
Autumn – A Game Season: There’s no denying that there is a hint of autumn in the air and our long hot summer is finally drawing to a close. Whilst that’s sad in many respects, there is a lot to enjoy about the autumn; including a change of food and drink styles. Young’s are embracing […]
St Germain and London Cocktail Week
St Germain – The Salt and Pepper in my Cocktail: It’s London Cocktail Week and that means it’s time to put your glad rags on and get out into the city’s many bars and clubs and get drinking – sensibly of course! I was invited to the bijou Petit Pois Bistro in trendy Hoxton Square where four of London’s […]
Skylight – funky rooftop venue – much more than a bar
Never played Pumpkin Draughts or ice skated on top of a car park? Now is your chance. Autumn – my favourite time of year. Chilly walks in the country, kicking through piles of leaves like a big kid, finishing off the day in a cosy pub with a roaring log fire. All good old autumn […]
Thames Rockets – the fun way to sightsee the highway of London
Can you speed on the River Thames? Both of us are Londoners born and bred, and we tend to think that we know most things about our City, but we couldn’t resist the lure of speed when the invitation came from Thames Rockets to try out their evening speedboat cruise down the Thames complete with […]
Battersea Arts Centre – BAC to its best
‘’Loved. Lost. Reborn’’ Theatre intervals are usually only long enough to drink some warm white wine and go to the loo, but given nearly three and half years, the BAC has shown us what can really be done if you have plenty of time, with the official reopening of its aptly named Grand Hall, destroyed […]
CARLUCCIO’S CHRISTMAS 2018
Carluccio’s Christmas 2018 – Preview: Last year Deborah went along to the Carluccio’s Christmas in July and got to try all the new Christmas collection before it hit the shops. This year, we somehow missed the preview, but despite that, I was pleased to discover that the Christmas Pixies (Italian Division) have been hard at […]
Three and the Samsung Gallery Project
A photographic opportunity with Three and Samsung S9: I am an iPhone girl through and through – it’s Apple all the way. So I thought until I was offered the opportunity to take part in a wonderful Gallery photography project with Samsung and Three who invited a group of UK bloggers and digital influencers to […]
Finest French Fizz – Crémant de Loire
Crémant de Loire – Créme de la Créme of Fizz: I’m a big fan of Crémant de Loire. Love at first sip, it was the first sparkling wine I ever tasted, on a camping holiday in the Loire Valley when I was about ten. I’ve always found that a good Crémant has plenty of benefits, not only […]
Cooking on Wood with Certainly Wood.
I’M A FIRESTARTER, TWISTED FIRESTARTER! Sang Keith Flint, as he fired up his BBQ for a quiet Sunday afternoon meal of cooked meats and veg with fellow Prodigy bandmembers Maxim and Liam Howlett as a Sunday comedown and relaxation technique after a Saturday night of playing with whizzed up ravers heads with their delightful big-beat […]
