I’ve been working in Newmarket for over two years now and when I first started heading into town each day for a cup of coffee or a light bite with friends or colleagues, there wasn’t really much choice when it came to places to eat. Over time, Newmarket has become a little more better on the independent food scene (and it’s about to get even more exciting with a few more openings in the pipeline within the very near fut
Have you got an addiction to cookbooks? Lots of old (and new!) cookbooks sat on a shelf gathering dust? Do you love trying new recipes? Want to get stuck into a particular recipe book and try out recipes, but have’t got a table full of willing guests to share the food with? Well, join the club… I have been toying with this idea for a while and I’m going to bite the bullet and give it a go – Fancy joining me? How It Wo
Budapest has been on my bucket list for some time and I was lucky enough to explore this stunning and historical city last summer. Full of beautiful architecture, relaxing spas and quirky “ruin bars” this is a place for adventure, there’s so much to see and do, 6 days simply wasn’t enough. One of the very few grand places we did visit whilst wandering these (very hot summer!) Hungarian streets was New York Café (New York
It’s not often I fall in love with art, but when it grabs my attention I can’t help but tell everybody about it. But, what’s a real first for me is falling head over heels in love with a graffiti artist. Not just any graffiti artist either, this new found love is for the super stylish, amazingly approachable, tattooed goddess; Ruth Knapp. I always enjoy seeing a new Banksy piece and reading the hype around it
The first thing you should know about the Gunton Arms is that they cook huge chunks of meat above a rip-roaring fire and their eclectic art collection is worth the visit in itself. On the road between Norwich, towards Cromer, you’ll find this historic country estate nestled between trees and acres (and acres!) of stunning parkland (one thousand acres in fact!) fit for a queen…. or a herd of local deer. The Gunton A
According to a journalist at the Telegraph, psychologists warn that a visit to Ikea could seriously damage your relationship. I’m really not too sure how true this is, you’ve got to be pretty seriously argumentative towards each other to argue as much as the hype of Ikea causing breaks in relationships might suggest. But, if you ARE worried about visiting Ikea with your loved ones and the thought makes you break out into a s
This weekend I had the pleasure of joining some of my favourite local (and some not-so-local!) bloggers and social media addicts on a photo walk around Cambridge. This was hosted by local creatives Claire of Claireabellemakes and Jo of Hello Sunshine, amongst other collaborators such as Kate from Daphne Rosa. Armed with a beautifully illustrated map of Cambridge created by Jo, we marched off on a chilly, but sunny #CambridgeC
Can we just stop for one moment to realise just how selfish society has become? I won’t go into some sort of deep rambling here, but I’ve been surrounded by a lot of sadness of late through friends and acquaintances and the sadness they are currently enduring for whatever reason that might be. I’m in a happy place, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, sometimes I feel a little guilty for that even though I know I shouldn’t. To
Ask me for my amazing sweet hotspots in Cambridge and I really struggle to recommend anywhere worthy of a write up lately. However, ask me for my favourite treat destinations in Norwich and I simply don’t have enough fingers to count them all! See my guide to Norwich here for some ideas. But if I read this fabulously tempting menu out to you…. Ahem, queue my beautifully sexy, gruff reading voice… How would t
