Manchester Food & Drink Blog
Before I begin, please let me confirm that this post has taken hours of research. Much like the first ordering in blog post which concentrated on groceries, this one too has seen a lot of change. Some venues started doing deliveries and found it impractical, others had to work to make it viable, and useful, other…
I know, I’m being all confusing posting on a Tuesday again, but given I’d already written yesterday’s post, it was a shame to waste it. Especially when it’s been such a fabulous experience. If you missed it, I put out an invitation to people to send me nudes. And its been a hugely rewarding experience,…
This weekend I did something that could have been thought of as rather silly. In fact my husband just shook his head when I told him. I asked people to send me nudes. Yep, sounds daft – especially in an online world where you’re only seconds away from an unwanted dick pic, or someone asking…
I miss cocktails. I miss bartender chat, I miss catch ups with my girls over a well crafted drink in a bar. And whilst I can chat to my girls online, and I can probably annoy a bartender via social media (sorry loves), a cocktail that’s not been thrown together with what I’ve got in…

I love making jam. And jellies. And chutneys for that matter. We used to live in a little place called Chaddesden. We had a massive garden. Big patio, big lawn with trees for us to climb in and then my dad’s veg garden. It was full of fruit and veg, we had a sour cherry…
Time for something sweet. We’re slowly running out of snacks. We’re hoping for a successful top up delivery this week, but we’re down to four packets of Frazzles and three digestives. And given I’ve got my period due this week, this is a bit of a situation. I need sweet stuff, and I need it…
I’m writing this from the comfort of my sofa, cat curled up next to me, mug of tea close enough to my right hand to reach for, but not so close as I’ll tip it over. I’m clumsy. Apparently I’m learning how to work from home the hard way. The hard, messy dammit-what-did-I ruin-this-time way….
