I have mentioned before that one of the bonuses about being an expat is all the lovely people you meet that you normally wouldn’t have, but that it’s sad when those lovely people leave. It’s not as bad though when they end up just down the road from your family! Lesley is one of those…

Le Raj, Banstead, Surrey
The spot of “My Favourite Restaurant” is a really tricky one to fill. I like so many different types of food, and have been fortunate enough to eat in so many different countries, that I can never quite decide on an absolute winner. I mean, how do you choose between your favourite steak place vs…
The Barge House, London N1
You know how every now and again you see something on Instagram and think “I need that”? It could be a new face mask, or a mermaid blanket, or something delicious to eat. But you just know that you will have to have it in your life at some point. Well, that was me and…
My Chocolate
As laid out in my previous two posts (here and here), Mummy and I do love a good adventure. With this in mind and knowing that I would be home on certain dates, I bought us a chocolate making class via Virgin Experiences. It was a bit of a random gamble but I went with…
Our London Adventure – Pt 2
After eating a lot of very yummy pasta at Prezzo, and realising that it was technically still Rush Hour, we decided to walk across the road to Trafalgar Square. Naturally I had to sing “Feed the Birds” despite the fact there are no birds to feed anymore. I couldn’t tell you the last time I…
Our London Adventure – Pt 1
As anyone who has read my blog knows, Mummy and I do enjoy a good adventure. We also like stage shows. We do like food too. So when we go off adventuring and it includes not only a show but yummy eats too, we feel like we have hit the jackpot! One such trip was…
The Two Brewers, Windsor
After our incredibly long walk down the aptly named “Long Walk” in Windsor Great Park, we were thrilled to see that literally next to the Castle was the pub we were booked into for lunch. The Two Brewers is absolutely one of those ‘local knowledge’ places.
The Great Windsor Walk
One of the fabulous things about being an expat is that you get to meet a bunch of awesome people that you wouldn’t have if you had stayed in your home town. Not only that, you tend to find serial expats are fairly like-minded and have a great sense of adventure. One such person is…
Jacoby’s Tavern & Kitchen
Every time we went to visit Grandma in the later years, and certainly since I moved abroad, she would like to treat us to a nice lunch out. There was only one or two places that would pass muster, and Jacoby’s was one of them. With that in mind, there was really only one place…
Ware to start!?
Ware in Hertfordshire, that’s where!! My childhood revolved around trips to Ware as it is where my grandparents lived. I have so many happy memories of seeing Grandma and Granddad, but also our extended family too. As I explained in my last post, I have a wonderful set of God-parents and all of them came…
