Spicing up dinner with Gousto

Spicing up dinner with Gousto

I have worked with Gousto a number of times in the past (find the posts here and here) trying out their boxes and testing out some delicious new recipes – but each time one of their lovely boxes turns up I am still blown away by the quality of the food and the amazing dishes I (yes me!) manage to create from following their simple step by step instructions. I was sent a box to spice up our January a couple of weeks ago and it was just what I needed the January blues were in full swing and I needed something fun to get…

Fireworks & Fun At The Thistle Hotel

Fireworks & Fun At The Thistle Hotel

Last week I was invited to stay at the Thistle Hotel in Poole for a fun bloggers event celebrating bonfire night and enjoying lots of delicious food. I have been for dinner at the Thistle once before so I knew I would be in for a treat. I arrived to check in at about half 5 – pouring with rain so I wasn’t holding my breath for the fireworks to be going ahead. The room was a good size, with a double bed and a separate sofa bed in the room too. The decor is a little outdated but the room itself was clean,…

Princess Cruises #RoyalLuncheon

On Sunday I was a very lucky girl indeed and was invited on board the Princess Cruises Royal Princess cruise ship to celebrate their 50th anniversary with a Royal Luncheon, to say I was looking forward to the day was an understatement, with the promise of a day full of cocktail making and little foodie surprises this little foodie practically skipped on board. Get ready for a picture heavy post of my day which will leave you dreaming of cruises and probably just a little bit hungry as well! This was my first time on a cruise ship and I…
