Don't worry, I'm not going to burst into a chorus of 'Life is full, full of surprises...' (although I did love that show; never a dry eye), instead I'm going to talk about a little gem I had last night.You know how it is; you have a rough day at work, you get home and… Continue reading Suprise Surprise

I thought I'd make Sunday Sessions a regular as it seems to be the day we throw caution to the wind and try out new brews. This Sunday was boring grown up things (including cleaning a rabbit's bum- I wish that was a lie) and a trip down to The Treehouse in Beaconsfield to see what… Continue reading Sunday Sessions #1

What started out as a hobby several years ago has turned into a passion (I realised I had a problem when I spent… Continue reading Here I go again on my own…
