Looking for food at Old Trafford? Let us introduce you to Cafe Football.
Lat weekend we were headed for our first ever stay in Manchester. I’ll admit, I was pretty excited – not only was it a kids-free night out, but also my first ever football match (we were going to see the SoccerAid match). We were travelling up from Dorset on the Sunday of the match, so knowing time would be tight we decided the best thing would be to drop our bags at the hotel, and head straight for food at Old...
If you want me, I’ll be in bed with Nora | The Nora Mattress from Wayfair.
Have you seen the new Nora Mattress from Wayfair.co.uk? It’s the all new, affordable premium foam mattress-in-a-box. And I’ll be honest. When they asked if we’d like to review it I didn’t leap up and down and say yes immediately. Even though our mattress is almost as old as our 11yr old daughter. Even though my husband has a deep-seated enmity with our ancient memory foam mattress topper and the way it...
Need a garden bench? We’re in love with this one.
I know, it’s not a glamorous or exciting thing. But I’ll tell you now, every single one of us properly loves this bench. Our old garden bench was made of a softwood, and the last valiant man standing from a table & bench set we purchased years ago; despite loving care, they slowly rotted and disintegrated until sitting on that last bench was a precarious and risky challenge. We swore that next time we’d invest in...
Lunch in Covent Garden? Try The Ivy Market Grill. You’ll LOVE.
Trying to find a good Lunch in Covent Garden is ridiculously tricky. I’m like a kid in a sweet shop – WAY too much choice, and the perennial issue of discovering that today’s a pink mice sort of day when I’ve already opted for cola bottles or white jazzies?? It’s tricky. We’d had a fabulous night in Trafalgar Square courtesy of Thistle Hotels (we’d seen Cuba Gooding Jr in Chicago –...
Oddly Great Steak in the West End – Heliot Steak House Review
We seem to have been in the West End more in the last couple of years than we have in the previous ten. And no, that’s not a complaint; it’s one of my favourite places to spend a few days! The lure of the theatre is strong in this one, and when it’s surrounded by amazingly fascinating places to visit, and some of the countries finest places to eat… well, frankly what’s not to love? A few weeks ago we were...
Headphones for travel-loving teens | The Sennheiser PXC 550 Review
Over the years I’ve gone through a lot of headphones, earbuds and various brands in the process. The one brand that has always stuck out as a clear winner in terms of consistency and quality is always Sennheiser. Recently after nearly 3 years of daily use (that’s not an exaggeration, they’d be on my head pretty much from the moment I woke up right until I went to bed) my old Sennheiser Urbanite XL’s finally died. The audio itself...
