So, last year, the People’s Choice Wine Awards were a very different place. We were able to get together at The Comedy Store and celebrate producers from across the world. We could sample the wines that went through as finalists (there were a lot). And we could cheer on those we supported. Judging too, was very…
Another weekend, another excuse for a Sunday roast delivery. I mean, I enjoy cooking. I enjoy making a Sunday roast even. But an excuse not to have to do all the prep, and avoid the washing up? It’s my new favourite. And this week, we went super local with The Hive. In fact seven minutes…
So, lockdown 3.0 sees us go back (again) to home delivery options. As well as Hello Fresh continuing, we’re still getting takeaway/delivery once a week. Sometimes, this is a restaurant at home kit – we’ve had a few so far, including some delicious options over Christmas (Nibble NQ, can you do that breakfast box again…
It has many different names doesn’t it, the change, the menopause. I started feeling… Not myself about four years ago.

Stand back gin liqueurs, there’s a new kid in town. The rum liqueur. Over the last 12 months or so, we’ve seen a massive growth in rums, and in spiced rums in particular. For some they offer a sweeter, softer and a little bit more accessible option to a full strength barrel aged rum. And…
I’m not sure I ever thought I’d say this, but I’m missing Christmas dos. I mean, I’m not missing being squished next to someone I don’t know very well, in a too-small space, whilst harried looking staff run around trying to get a turkey dinner to everyone, bar the one person who didn’t order it,…
If you haven’t yet started your Christmas shopping, well you’re far braver than I. I’m almost finished. Like many, just waiting on a final payday before I get the last bits, those that I don’t have to rely on the post to deliver. But I’m still looking at gifts for deliveries, or for those December…
