What's this? Two blog posts on Leicester in succession? I've been making an effort to branch out a bit more and am finding myself all over the place these days. But with Leicester pretty much the same distance from me as Birmingham, I figured it's...

We may have missed the wine harvest during our Tuscan stay in a vineyard (more on that very soon when I finally post about our epic foodie tour of Europe) but we still got a chance to celebrate, thanks to an invite to join in Sofitel Wine Days. No,...

Whipping up a saucepan full of sangria isn't my usual camping weekend activity, but recently I found myself winning my friends over with a slightly off-piste version of the Spanish classic. We might not have been sat in a bar on a Spanish Costa but...
