Gin Travel Food
Having visited Vivi restaurant at Centre Point before, I was delighted to be invited back to try their afternoon tea. A very British institution, afternoon tea has to be done right to be worth it. So I was looking forward to visiting again with some other bloggers from Love Pop Ups London, to check out…
I recently visited India for the first time and being a control freak the organised person that I am, I did plenty of procrastination research into what to wear. I had a few considerations to take into account: 1 my light untanned Western skin which sunburns easily; 2 the local culture; 3 the variety of…
I first visited the City of London Distillery (COLD) back in 2014. (If you read that first visit on my blog you can see how far I’ve come since I started blogging). This time Joe their brand ambassador invited me back to check out the changes and the new additions to their gin range. *Full…
All Summer long Turtle Bay restaurants around the country will be celebrating with different event. I was lucky enough to be invited with the Love Pop Ups London gang, to their launch event at Turtle Bay in Brixton, which included live music and rum tasting masterclasses! #cheatingongin read on to find out what to expect!…

The Gin Cooperative, run by Natalie and Martin Reid, want to promote and support Scottish gin, so for the first time they’ve created International Scottish Gin Day to celebrate all things ginny and Scottish.

I’m taking you through the Caspyn range in time for Summer! *Full disclosure Caspyn provided samples to me for free, but all opinions remain my own!* Caspyn gin – inspired by…
When I was told that Cheeky Chicos Mexican fusion restaurant were doing a brunch menu at their Clapham Junction location, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would this be a Tex-Mex affair? What does fusion mean in this context? Would there be eggs*? To answer all these questions and more I went down with a…
After being back in London for a week, in admittedly not such good weather, I joined some friends on the Southbank for a Ukulele flash mob on Sunday the 8 June. First off we prepared – Ping Pong Lazy Sumday Dim Sum, ice tea and beer. Fully sated we headed to the appointed place –…
It was World Gin Day last Saturday 14th June, so my friend Kimmy and I decided to celebrate with a warm up event at the Oliver Conquest. The Oliver Conquest is pretty much a gin bar – I think their stock of +180 different gins qualifies them for this moniker – they also serve Meantime…
A busy week this week! On Tuesday the girls and I went to a gig at Dingwalls – Scott Bradlee and the postmodern jukebox. This band is effectively a cover band – but to describe them as that is severely underplaying the talent they have. They don’t just cover songs – they reinvent them by…
