With everything reopening it’s the perfect time to visit old favourites, or visit those places you keep meaning to, but never quite make it to. Hard Rock Cafe at the Printworks is one of those places I haven’t been to for ages – even before everything closed. It’s not deliberately so, it’s just one of…
Yes, we went out again. Whilst we’re still cautiously dipping our toes in going out, Paloma Bar & Kitchen was always going to be high on the list. Partially because like some other places, it opened when everything went into lockdown, so it was somewhere we should have visited months ago. But also because it’s…
It’s a lot isn’t it? I mean, I know we’ve all been waiting for hospitality to open properly, for us to be able to go out. For classes in gyms to be back. To see friends and family. For normality. But if it’s all feeling a bit much, you’re not alone. Because it is, on…
When it comes to chocolates, I don’t mind admitting I’m a bit fussy. They don’t have to be the most expensive, or the most fancy. I have a soft spot for a bar of Galaxy, or Aldi’s little bars with orange and almond. But I have rules. I don’t like fruit in chocolate (unless it’s…

Yes, I know, I’ve written about The Hive in Stretford before – from it’s opening mid pandemic, to the delivered to home Sunday Roast. But this time it was in person, there was sunshine. And there was my first post lockdown pint. And it was good. In fact all of it was good. We went…
Those who’ve been following me for a while will know I’m no stranger to no and low. From chatting to Spencer about Clean ‘Gin‘ to Nona June and Sol Duc hard seltzers. I know there are those who aren’t a fan of the category. I know there are issues. I mean, we can’t really call it…
I know things are opening, and it’s easy to get swept up in relief/joy/being able to see people. But, we’re taking it slow. Sure I went out on Monday, on a day off, but that’s it so far. Aside from hitting the gym, I’ve kept things at home. Baby steps. So take away and delivery…
