Month: June 2015

Summer's coming and we all know how much I love the sunshine. I wrote just a few weeks ago about how I planned to return to the King's Arms in Knowle, Solihull when the sun shone, and this weekend it's the perfect time. On Saturday, yes THIS...

You've seen me post about Lichfield before, and probably guessed that while I live in Rugby, I work in this lovely little city. For anyone who hasn't been, it's worth a trip - not just for the cathedral, but for other historic highlights, nice...

I'd heard great things about Dishoom, so when my friends suggested we meet there for lunch, it was an added bonus to catching up with some long-lost mates. Modelled on a Bombay Street Cafe, Dishoom serves small dishes – kind of Indian tapas. For...

We've talked before about my lack of confidence in the kitchen, and my decision this year to try and rectify that by learning some cooking skills. Mr M and I started with some knife skills at Recipease, which I've been putting to great use, so when...

Following on from last week's foray into gallery posts, I decided to treat you guys to some more foodie pics - this time from Cornwall. Mr M and I, along with his sis' and brother-in-law and some of our friends went down to spend a weekend...

On our recent visit to Munich, Mr Manning and I found ourselves searching for somewhere for an early dinner before our flight home. Carb'd out by several days of currywurst and chips, pretzels, and general bready goodness, we couldn't quite bring...
