Having moved office to Kings Cross earlier this year, I was slightly overwhelmed by the range of lunch options that now sat (quite literally) on my doorstep. Kings Cross is a treasure trove for lunch and dinner solutions to match all budgets, from the beautiful setting of Coal Drops Yard, to the cheapest pizza in … Continue reading Foodilic: lunchtime superstars
Even though it is my fourth Fringe festival, this is the first year where I have spent some time just being at the Fringe as a punter instead of volunteering. My mum wanted to see what the Fringe was all about, so I took some time off and spent a week seeing shows & eating … Continue reading Veggie Feasting at the Fringe Festival
So you might find that this is a bit of a different blog post, as I normally write in reflection based on recent experiences/visits to different places.

Evenings of going home from work to cook dinner and watch Netflix have been replaced by wanting to soak up the sunshine in cocktail bars and beer gardens.
