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 […]

Woodspeen – Stunning in every way
Woodspeen – Stunning in every way A lot of people now love fame, everyone wants their 15 minutes and if they cant have it then they want to know someone who has.� Whilst I wasn’t a Donny Osmond or Bay City Rollers fan when I was young (now you know how old I am) my […]
The Vineyard – Daniel Galmiche, such a nice chap
Crab and Boar and I am only telling you because I am kind hearted
This is one of those reviews that seems totally pointless. Every where I look I am seeing great reviews of the Crab and Boar, including the national papers. Still, I will give you my humble opinion regardless. Also at some point I will try out one of the rooms and review that. I have heard […]

I honestly don’t know what to say about this experience except that experience is a word I need to use a lot to describe it. Raymond Blanc is so wonderfully enthusiastic and passionate and seriously, if I could live in a corner of his room I would. This isn’t just about the food, he cares […]
Raymond Blanc

Today wasn’t meant to be such a foody day. Well not like I didn’t plan to eat, I am not completely insane, but I wasn’t intending to do a food piece. Today was the day of the garden and dog show. These aren’t things I normally enjoy, not least because we have a West Highland […]
