I managed to get 2 for 1 tickets for the opening night of La Boheme at the Coliseum. So for £15 each Emma and I had a great experience watching the English National Opera (ENO) stage this production. I had signed up for the ENO emails to get this offer – they have lots of…

What do you do when you’ve got bananas going brown? Make banana bread of course! So I did. I went to google for a recipe and went for the first BBC good food one I found. Perhaps I should have gone for the second – it was the Mary Berry recipe!! Oh well, I think…

Halloween fun
Aka 2 easy looks with red lipstick! This time last year on Koh Rong island – we didn’t have much scope for dressing up so my David Bowie ‘costume’ relied heavily on the red lippie and some blue eyeliner. Cat came as the scariest thing of all to a backpacker – real life officer worker!!…

The Bitter Truth….
It seems the latest craze for cocktails is to do away with sweet ones and instead to embrace bitter flavours. This was definitely seen at the London Cocktail Week French Themed close party at Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings. All of these classic French aperitifs have a bitter edge – and then there was the absinthe…….
Frieze Sculpture Park
Last weekend I decided to enjoy the unseasonably warm autumnal weather with a walk around Regents Park. Whilst there I walked past the huge hanger set up for the Frieze Masters art fair. Tickets had all sold out for this, but there was a free alternative – the Sculpture Park open to all further on…

Greenhook gin is the gin of the month at the Oliver Conquest for October, so Gin Club with a Reading Problem decided to go along to the FREE gin tasting 🙂 Daniella from Amathus drinks gave us a brief talk about the history of gin and then Siobhan from the Oliver Conquest talked more specifically…
