So the inevitable happened. On Thursday last week we went into Lockdown 2. Not a shock but very frustrating. It’s not quite the same as Lockdown 1. This time schools and universities stay open and people are encouraged to go to work if they can’t work from home. But all hospitality closes except for takeaways […]
Restaurants in London
A Docklands day out with lunch at The Ivy in the Park
In my time in London I’ve worked in all corners of the city. Lucky me to have had the opportunity. I worked in Docklands while Canary Wharf was still a hole in the ground (sounds unlikely I know but seriously).

Lunch South African-style at Kudu in Peckham

I travelled on the lovely Overground line for my first visit to Peckham in South East London. Every journey still feels like an exciting event to me, […]
The taste of Italy at Bocca di Lupo

I’m happy to adapt, it’s just so nice to be out there. Today at Bocca di Lupo we were shown to a table enclosed on two sides and separated from the next-door […]

Today’s Covid news is more bad news with Nightingale hospitals being mobilised again and more stringent rules imminent. It’s a strange and somewhat scary time we’re […]
