Hellooooooooo, Fresh!

Hellooooooooo, Fresh!

Right, so this is going to sound like an advert.  But it ain’t. I can honestly put my hand on heart and say that Hello Fresh has landed a huge boon right in our kitchen. For those not in the

We come from the land of the ice and snow. Well, we’re trying to get out of it, anway.

Mum’s Trip

In July 2015 my Mum was scheduled to fly over from Adelaide and stay with us here in Bristol for a couple of months, because it’s nice to get away – especially in winter. In May 2015 one morning I

So the thing is, we’ve been really busy!

2015 has been interesting for me – it felt like I didn’t have much at all in the way of spare time or spare money with which to do stuff.  That’s not to say that we didn’t have any fun,

A great man

A great man

My Dad passed away on November 7th following a short and fairly unexpected battle with cancer.  We had his funeral on Friday the 14th and though we’re all sad that he’s gone, everyone’s been saying that they thought it was

Let’s raise a glass to The Gunmakers

Let’s raise a glass to The Gunmakers

Saturday September 6th 2014 was an important day.  I was away at Maltstock in The Netherlands (one of the best whisky festivals on the planet), but my mind was frequently on a little back-street pub in Clerkenwell – The Gunmakers.
