No. 1 Duke Street- Richmond
The pleasure of somewhere nice to eat is a big deal. The pleasure of finding somewhere nice to eat, close to where you live or work is an even bigger deal. Its one of the reasons why I thoroughly enjoyed dining at No.1 Duke Street. A little neighbourhood spot in Richmond. Its almost like going…

London- Monday Evening at Mason’s
Fortnum and Mason that is. One of the best things about not living in London is getting to see London in a whole new light. Discovering places that were right outside your door, and meeting old friends in new places. I miss London for its familiarity, but I love it even more now for its…

Lindfield Village
Its getting hotter over here in the UK, blue skies, sunshine, birds and butterflies. After months of putting everything in place at the new space in Sussex and settling into my home proper, a sojourn into the surrounding villages was long overdue. Lindfield, named many times as the “best kept village in sussex” (it even had to withdraw…
