The Best Non-Cruise on the Tyne
Our experience of holidays on a ship is very limited. We’ve only done one, and that was in the Caribbean. We’d looked at heading over to Amsterdam with DFDs Seaways last year but never got around to organising it. Then when it came to booking the mini-break to Amsterdam this year we booked flights instead of…

Bill’s Hammersmith Restaurant Review
Generally avoiding big chains we reluctently tried out Bill’s Hammersmith. After a day walking around central London on Good Friday, we bizarrely struggled to find a table for 8 people around 6.00pm. Everywhere we went they asked if we had a booking! Who knew that in jam-packed Covent Garden you had to book? OK. Everyone…

The Blue Lagoon… Experience.
Yo Ho yo Ho a Pirates life for me! I’m not sure if I would want a pirates life as I’m too used to the home comforts of cleanliness, coffee and a memory foam mattress. I would deal with the eye patch, as a child the eye hospital made me wear a plaster on one…

Duck Leg and Red Currant and Wine Sauce
After a disastrous trip to the meat shop, I was forced to drag myself to Tesco. We really fancied Duck with come form of sauce and it was my challenge for the Saturday night. We weren’t falling for the trip our kids pulled last time either. “I don’t want any I don’t like it” followed…
