To mark National Cream Tea Day, I want to share my top tips on good scone and tea manners – Pinkies up (or down, ahem)! Learn how to be both the perfect cream tea guest and the scone-wielding hostess with the mostess. It’s such a sophisticated tradition you deserve to do it properly. If you would rather learn from my latest YouTube Video, feel free to sit back, make yourself a cuppa and enjoy this mini (tongue-in

I recently enjoyed a weekend away with some gorgeous girl friends in Amsterdam. These new travel buddies were the best i could have asked for, we had an awesome time exploring a new city together! We explored so much, I can’t even begin to tell you where we went and what we saw…. So, I’m going to show you some of my favourite photos instead until I’ve created a worthy enough blog post to share with you

I’m so excited to announce that I will be joining forces with Rodda’s Clotted Cream and the Cream Tea Society for National Cream Tea Day 2016! This year I have been invited to be an official ambassador for The Cream Tea Society and National Cream Tea Day, of which I am thrilled to accept such an honour – it’s very exciting indeed! We will be hitting the press with some top tips for making a super cream

  Aromi is a small independent Italian pizzeria in Cambridge and I defy anybody not to be impressed by their offerings. It’s the kind of place that started up small, taking on a corner property just across the road from the Cambridge Corn Exchange and close to the market square, with queues out the door and round the corner on any given day…. and for good reason! These guys know a thing or two about pizza, it&

Yes, I finally got myself over to the USA. My version of a road trip over the last 15 years or so have involved a few hours drive from Cambridge to either the north or south of the UK with a service station pit stop in the middle for a depressing cup of “Starbucks Coffee” en route. So, imagine my sheer pleasure when I was offered the opportunity to not only visit Florida for a few weeks with my (not-so) new boyfrie

It’s been one heck of a year, with travelling to far flung destinations that have been on my travel hit list for a very long time… But sometimes a girl simply craves some peace & quiet in a spa for a day or two. After a quick discussion on where we might like to go for a weekend pre-Xmas break, the bearded one agreed that he fancied shutting himself away in a luxurious spa with me by his side – he’s

As true Brits, we all know and love this Cornish brand when it comes to topping our scones at afternoon tea. In fact, we love it so much that we get into deep conversations and even debates over how we should eat it. It’s a truly important topic when it comes to enjoying afternoon tea and Rodda’s is the crowning glory when done right. I’ve always used Rodda’s for my own afternoon tea events & spread

This is the newest restaurant opening in Norwich, well, one worth getting excited about. Not only is it on my favourite street in Norwich, it’s opposite my regular drinking haunt whilst in this fine city (The Mash Tun), so needless to say it’s been on my hit list for some time now. Benedicts has been open for a few months now, owned by Richard Bainbridge (and his wife Katja) who you might recognise best from BBC

I recently enjoyed a spa day at Yspa at Wyboston Lakes, but as part of a press day with some truly lovely ladies during the summer. After this visit to a luxurious spa just a hop from my own front door, I swore it wouldn’t be long before I headed back for another relaxation day… And I didn’t wait too long before that was made a much-needed reality! “The Bearded One” hadn’t yet indulged in a

If you’re anything like me, you love to dunk a biscuit into your cup of tea, no matter how much it goes against the rules of afternoon tea etiquette, it’s simply far too satisfying not to. Don’t you agree?... Sometimes you fancy something sweet with a cuppa, but a simple Jammie Dodger, Hobnob or chocolate finger just won’t do. Enter Godiva. Yes, this is notoriously a luxury chocolate brand, however, the
