I like books. I love picking up a book and immerse myself in its world. Whenever I am walking around a new town, I love to find old book shops, the older the better. I always hope that in one of those tiny shops I will find a new wonderful world to dive into. And …
Fundamental Food Festival Tips
Food festivals are places for food worshippers to gather and stuff their faces. They are places where new and crazy ideas can be found. For new relationships to blossom (with new favourite foods) and to take in the wonderful smells and tastes all around you. BUT for the true veteran of food festivals, there are …
Restaurant next Door
One of my favourite things to do on a warm afternoon, is to walk through a residential area and look at all the different houses and gardens. I like to imagine what the inside would look like and what part of the house I would want to incorporate into my dream house. The one downside …

Fast Food Under a Fast Motorway
Having a fast food restaurant situated under a motorway doesn’t sound like a recipe for a good evening out, but you would be surprised by how relaxing and enjoyable the Fork and Bottle is. My family first found this little gem a few years ago and we have been returning as often as we can …
