New Amsterdam is my new guilty pleasure

Business Insider named it one of the worst 8 network tv shows last year, The Atlantic said it is ‘an atrocious portrayal of medicine,’ in all honestly, if you type “New Amsterdam” into Google search, you’ll find a host of other big named newspapers and magazines equally saying the show is terrible for various reasons….

Little Ships, Ramsgate Breakfast Review

Last month I met up with my friend Jo and we went to the Little Ships cafe and restaurant on the Harbour front in Ramsgate. I’m not sure why I’ve not been there before but when I finally did, I can see why people have been raving about it. It’s like a well known fact…

TV is so good this year, I’m loving it

Every year TV gets better and better. But this year, tv channels and broadcasters are pulling out all the stops to compete with streaming services such as Netflix or Prime. This year some great tv has really stood out from the crowd and there are shows coming back to rock the boat too. Whether you’re…

Afternoon Tea at The Grosvenor

A few weeks ago, I had afternoon tea at The Grosvenor on Park Lane and it was fabulous. Thanks to a very lovely client of mine, my birthday present last year was a Bottomless Champagne Afternoon Tea for two and after months of trying to organise a date that worked for all of us, Sunday…

I went to Kaspas and I loved it,

If, like me you’ve been to Kaspa’s in Broadstairs, you’ll know what the fuss is all about. Kaspa’s are a chain of exciting new dessert houses that offer the world’s favourite hot and cold desserts under one roof. Their emphasis is on high quality desserts, good customer service and an overall amazing dining experience for…

I think you should watch Three Identical Strangers…

Last year a film was released called Three Identical Strangers by Channel 4 and the film premiered at the 2018 Sundance film Festival where it won the US documentary special jury award for storytelling. This year, Channel 4 showed the documentary on tv. I had read an article about these three identical strangers earlier this…

I’m just caught up with Luther..here are my thoughts

I’ve just caught up, finally, to Luther season 5. To say I was a little disappointed with it, is an understatement. Previous seasons have always been so deliciously suspenseful, with a gripping storyline, but season 5, I thought it would be just as good, but for me, it was a little drab. I know, I…

Birthday Cake bakerdays Review

Who doesn’t love cake? Marie Antoinette once famously said, “Let them eat cake,” and cake we shall eat. I love cake, it’s cake! I don’t think you need much more convincing than that, but cake is a need, a must really for almost all occasions, not just celebrations and birthdays. A few weeks ago I…

Christmas Lunch at Brewers Fayre

When it comes to Christmas, it’s usually a family affair. Last year Emily was so small, Christmas was hardly an event as she was so ill that a get-together with Sam’s brother and family on Boxing Day was planned around hoping she wouldn’t vomit at the Holden Horse. This year, our Christmas lunch with Sam’s…

Who’s watching The Sinner on BBC Four?

I’ve been watching The Sinner on BBC Four the last few weekends, and I totally understand why it’s been so popular. The American anthology crime drama mystery television series, based on the novel of the same name by German crime writer Petra Hammesfahr, is currently airing on BBC Four. Spread across 8 episodes, featuring Jessica…

We ate in Travelodge in Bristol’s Patchway and it was horrible.

We were up in Bristol in August visiting Sam’s brother and family. We had thought about trying to see the hot air balloon festival but unfortunately the weather was terrible and that never happened. Instead we spent time chilling out with family and it was good fun, Emily loved hanging out with her cousins too….

We ate at Cafe Rouge for my birthday and I still love it 28 years on.

Cafe Rouge is one of my favourite restaurants, ever. As a child my dad used to take my sister and I to the Richmond restaurant where breakfast, lunch or dinner was a favourite time spent there. The smell of freshly roasted coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, baked croissants, sugar cubes in little white bowls, chic…

I’m addicted to Killing Eve

Ok, let’s just recap I’m not actually killing someone called Eve, but the fabulous BBC drama “Killing Eve,” is amazing. Originally this post was to mention how bloody (literally) amazing it is whilst I binge watched it, but I binged watched it in a few days and I can safely say, if the rumours are…

I’m so disappointed in Sky Witness’ new drama Instinct

My last post I wrote about TV programs I couldn’t wait to watch. But, there’s one I’ve watched 2 episodes of that I’m so disappointed with that for me, I’m not going to watching any further. If you like me have been watching Sky Witness’ new detective drama with the brilliant Alan Cummings, then you’ll…

A good walk for little legs

A few days ago after a morning meeting, Emily and I met Clare and Scarlet for a few hours. We had decided the day before that we’d walk along Government Acre, letting our little ones run free, then pop by the boating pool for a cuppa, hoping that the long walk would have an affect,…
