As my ‘birthday month’ continued, I was lucky enough to have yet another trEat at the newly opened Bilbao Berria in London. Ze German was lovely enough to pick this fantastic new home of the authentic Pintxo (pronounced ‘pincho’) from a shortlist of restaurants I had provided so that he didnt have to stress about where to go (he loves… Read more →
A beautiful sunny Sunday morning… and I am heading off from one home “in’t countreh” (imagine Hagrid saying that – yes I am re-reading Harry Potter!) having visited my sister and her family in Surrey, I take a train to Waterloo and a tube to Seven Sisters and then another train to ‘Ware’.

Or if you aren’t going to see the show (then it just doesn’t matter, does it!) What is Udderbelly? Something that happens inside a giant purple inflatable cow is the first answer that comes… Read more →
It’s not my first time in Karlsruhe. As our flight arrives bright and early from Stansted to Baden Baden’s teeny tiny airport, I am suffering.
