There’s nothing better than a weekend away with your friends is there? Rather handily, my old friend Alex and his lovely girlfriend Mia live in Florence and agreed to put up with a bunch of us invading for a few days. My friends Harry, Olly and I arrived on Wednesday afternoon at Pisa airport and […]
Country lunching and farm shopping

My mum and I found ourselves in Bath the other day and, having both had a fairly hectic and stressful few days, felt we were in need of a relaxing lunch. There are few things better than a long lunch with your mummy and this one ticked all the boxes, good food, good company and […]

Last week Alex, my friend Sara and I checked out the new Roka in Mayfair. Our friend Will was supposed to join us but unfortunately got stuck in Nassau on business so we went as a three. After a massive blonde moment from me, causing us to go to the wrong restaurant, we arrived and […]
Rape, Pillage and Plunder

That sounds like a civilised way to spend a Saturday afternoon surely? The other weekend my oldest friend Sarah and I headed for Holborn to enter the world of the Vikings, or at least an exhibition on them at the British Museum. I have to confess to not having the most extensive knowledge of this […]
Lazy Sundays in Berlin

I don’t know about you, but one of my favourite things to do on a Sunday is go for brunch. Long lazy meals, usually followed by a stroll somewhere if the weather’s nice. What could be better than that? With this in mind we headed to Tauro, an enormous restaurant spanning 3 floors in the […]
Berlin’s Saturday Surprise

So, remember how I said we had that crack of dawn flight? Well that didn’t quite go according to plan. Having dragged ourselves out of bed at 4am, checked out and gotten to the airport hiccough free we then boarded the plane and just sat there. And then sat for a bit more, before being […]
Busy busy Berlin bees

After a fair unproductive day on Thursday we needed to get our bums into gear and make the most of Friday, cramming in as much as we could. Our first stop was breakfast at the restaurant Chipps on Jagerstrasse, we needed some fuel to get us going. For me it was tomato, avocado, feta and chilli […]
Super Simple Crepes

Not feeling the American style pancakes? Try these crepes on for size, it’s my absolute fail safe recipe and never disappoints. I’ve given a lemon sauce here to go with them but this recipe is really versatile and it’ll work with any topping or filling, sweet or savoury. It’s the recipe I’ll be using tonight […]
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Every year for his birthday breakfast I make Alex blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, it’s his absolute favorite breakfast and such a winner. I normally would always go for a savoury breakfast but I have to say, even I tuck in to these. The addition of the buttermilk just takes the edge of […]
Hallo Aus Berlin

Was it just my school that made us watch those bizarre ‘Hallo Aus Berlin’ videos? They’re all I can really remember from my forays into the German language and I can’t say it’s helped me very much I’m afraid. My mum and I flew out to Berlin last Wednesday and I was misunderstood from the moment […]
