I recently blogged about the “Gentleman’s Tea”, which is is growing in popularity across the UK. This is an afternoon tea in keeping with an all “British” theme to proceedings, one of which more and more hotels and afternoon tea venues are offering “manlier”afternoon tea tiers to appeal to the gents, as well as the ladies. After an invitation to join Julia and the team at Dorothy Clive Garden for #NationalCre
We’ve all heard of afternoon tea, the traditional cream tea, high tea, low tea, even a champagne tea, but have you come across a “Gentleman’s Tea” before? This is a rising trend here in the UK, in keeping with an all “British” theme to proceedings, more and more hotels and afternoon tea venues are offering “manlier” afternoon tea tiers to appeal to the gents. Many venues are taki
If you haven’t yet heard, it’s officially “National Cream Tea Day” on 26th June! It’s a day to show recognition to the humble scone (with lashings of jam and clotted cream) with many celebrations take place across the nation. This is a celebratory day dreamt up by The Cream Tea Society (sponsored by Rodda’s and Tiptree) and they have a new cream tea-loving ambassador in the form of Frances Q
I’ve lived in Cambourne for years, tucked up just on the outskirts of Cambridge, but also perfectly placed just down the road from Huntingdon, Royston and even St Neots – all of these places get overlooked when it comes to dining out or spending some time relaxing. In fact, if somebody told me I could pop over to St Neots for one of the best spa experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of sampling, I may have even chuckled
If you go down to Wildwood today…you’re sure of a big surprise. Well, at least I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised! After my recent adventures in The USA, whilst staying at The Villages in Florida I got chatting to a stunning lady (both in beauty and in passion) called Trish and we found ourselves swapping notes on the city of Bath and my recent visit there to review this historic UK destination. She had v
So, afternoon tea seems to be getting bigger and bigger when it comes to something to do in the UK (as well as overseas!), but I’ve recently been posed an interesting question. What makes afternoon tea so special? Well, it wasn’t as rude as it first sounded… it was a genuine and interested query coming from a gentleman called Liam with a company logo in the form of a sparkling unicorn – I kid you not!
You may or may not have heard, but recently Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie met with Prince William & the beautiful Princess Kate Middleton for afternoon tea at Kensington Palace. According to Vanity Fair, “they discussed their shared interest in combatting the illegal wildlife trade,” a Kensington Palace spokesman said. You can read more on this story news update here. I just can’t get the image of this unusual sound
Having recently come back down to earth with a bump following my travels to the USA, I’ve been giving this truly exciting road trip a lot of thought. I’ve actually, as a blogger, found it very tricky to put words on my blog to recap this epic adventure and as a result, I’ve not been able to force myself to share my experiences with you as easily as I thought I would. In fact, I’m never usually lost for
When I tell people that I’ve just had a fantastic meal in The Library, I can honestly tell you that I’ve received some funny looks… Who goes to the library to eat their dinner? I can assure you that this library not only has shelves of books, but serves superb wood grilled food in the very centre of Norwich City – it’s my new favourite venue for a client coffee meeting or equally for dinner with f
I recently wrote a blog post on how to enjoy traveling alone, following some eager research to fill the nervous gap between being here in the UK and flying out to the USA alone for the very first time. I thought I would let you know how it went in reality – as giving tips prior to doing something is all well and good… This is the real stuff, the nitty gritty (not too gritty I hasten to add)! It was my very first ti
