A few weeks before Christmas myself and my husband travelled to Luleå in Swedish Lapland, and then onto Brändön in the Gulf of Bothnia. Upon arrival in amongst a foot of snow we were led to our cosy little log cabin that was to be our home for the week. Right on the frozen sea,…

Etsu, Liverpool
This cosy place has been one of our special occasion destinations for a few years and is somewhere we like to go as a couple. After both finishing work for Christmas we travelled into town to enjoy some Japanese food and a drink or two. So it was a shock when we arrived this week,…
El Gato Negro Tapas, Liverpool
This new Spanish tapas restaurant can be found in the Exchange flags building in Liverpool, looking out onto the Town Hall. With a nice frontage and heated outdoor area we headed inside on this freezing evening, opting to eat with feeling in our fingers. On Christmas market opening night I don’t know why I was…
The Fishpool Inn, Delamere
This welcoming, dog friendly and charming Inn near Delamere Forest in Cheshire is one of our favourites. We have taken friends, family and often visited as a couple with our dog. Sadly we lost our pooch this summer and so haven’t been back in a while. However my sister and her husband recently took on…
Two Days Two Takeaways
Wow this past weekend was calorific. It was one of those weekends where all the socialising happens at once, and it all revolves around eating. Friday night with the neighbours involved a curry. Saturday night with the family, a puppy and a birthday boy involved copious amounts of pizza and cake. The curry was from…
Siam Thai in Chester
Chester is a lovely city, with its abundant shops, hotels and indeed restaurants. Nestled in and around the Roman walls a day of browsing shelves can be followed with drinks by the canal and a meal on the rows. The Siam Thai and Teppanyaki can be found on City road, up from the city’s train…
Dibbinsdale Inn ‘Afternoon Tea With a Twist’
Down a tree lined road in Bromborough on the Wirral you can find the Dibbinsdale Inn. Now a Pesto restaurant, it also has twelve rooms and apparently is home to a few ghosts too. Must be fun at Halloween. We had booked an ‘Italian style’ afternoon tea for three people and were quickly taken to…
Comptoir Libanais- A Taste of the Lebanon in Ellesmere Port
Cheshire Oaks is very local to us. We know when it’s quiet, when the bus loads of tourists have gone home and we only brave shopping there if we need something in particular. To eat in the evenings though, especially on a grim October evening can be a pleasure as there is virtually nobody there….
Northcote Tasting Menu
We arrived for a birthday celebration in the pouring rain and were ushered through to a cozy waiting area with big squishy sofas and cocktail menus. Having previously decided upon the tasting menu we only needed to decide on drinks. The ladies decided upon a bottle of Mount Vernon Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, the…
Mahiki Manchester
I had never heard of this place until a friend entered an Instagram competition to win a meal for four, tagged my sister, who then won the prize. Located on Central Street in Manchester, we cheerfully descended into a different world. A world of totems, intricate jade tiles, bamboo, Japanese and Polynesian food. It was…
