Ok I had to put this pic of Angela Hartnett up first as, amazingly, she used it as an advert for her next brilliant Smoked and Uncut festival at the Pig Hotels. She didnt realise it but that rather stalkerish looking person in the bowler hat is me! I had gone along, not just for […]

Talking Stick Necessity
How exciting, a competition from Clickstay.com to win a holiday in Italy. Whilst I have never been to Italy it is on my bucket list and I chose a lovely 12 person villa in Tuscany. I am meant to tell you who my dream guests would be and I am sure they are meant to […]
Paxton&Whitfield Comte – Hallelujah I am converted!
How lucky am I? Recently fortune smiled on me and I was sent some Comte cheese from PaxtonandWhitfield.co.uk to try. I need to confess now that there are two things I am a bit rubbish at, one is wine and the other is cheese and that is a bit of a let down […]

Vineyard Stockcross Annual Wine Festival
I can’t think of anywhere better to have an annual Wine Festival than at the Vineyard, the place where the wine list is in fact a very heavy hard backed book! This was the fourth annual Festival and was well attended. There was a magnificent dinner put on the night before with a menu developed […]
Vineyard Annual Wine Festival – don’t miss this fantastic event!
As I am sure you have read in previous posts I am in no way a wine expert. I drink champagne and that is about it. However at one of my recent visits to the delightful Vineyard I was persuaded by Saffron, and she is VERY persuasive, of the importance of food and wine pairing. […]
