When the day has been long, journeys have been screwed up, and you have to leave a fab event early having only just met some great people, only a few things can make you feel less grumpy. Those include being given a cocktail in a takeaway bottle so...

Since I wrote this post, Pharmasea has sadly closed.  It's always the same when a new place opens, especially in a small town where any addition to the slightly limited choice is eagerly awaited. People get excited, the launch night is usually a...

I'm not really someone who does trendy very well. Since I was a kid I've always been slightly behind the curve when it comes to anything fashionable, whether it's clothes, nightclubs or TV programmes I should be binge-watching. Either that, or I...

I'm no stranger to Turtle Bay - I've been enjoying the delights of its cocktail happy hour (or should I say hours, since they have two each night) for quite some time now. Every time I've been I've looked at the menu, looked at the plates of food...

While it may seem like I’m Rugby through and through, I’m not actually from this little Warwickshire town. I first moved to Rugby in 2008/9 (I think) and have lived here ever since. Why the life story? Well, because for the first five-ish years...

Another week gone, a few more promises broken. Okay, so maybe not that bad, but I’m not sure I entirely stuck to last week's Meal Planning Monday plan. The best laid plans and all that, hey. On Monday I was super good, I had my asparagus tips and...
