All of these things are on offer in this grand and historic city, but what really caught my attention during my recent stay was the street art on every street and corners. This wasn’t just the odd graffiti-style na

Amsterdam is such a fun destination for a quick city break and the food is most certainly worth planning for, there simply too much choice when it comes to, well, everything.  I spent a few days in Amsterdam with some friends recently and here’s a roundup of our favourite finds whilst treading the streets in the late summer sunshine.  CT Coffee & Coconuts.

I recently enjoyed a week off work, with nowhere to go but home. A “staycation”, with plans to enjoy a sleepover with some younger visitors, as well as a few days in rural Norfolk for some relaxed country air – perfect! “The bearded one” had family visiting, so we took advantage of the sunshine and enjoyed showing them around my home town of Cambridge – I always love showing it off!

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!

  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!
