Festive Feast: Eggnog
Did you know that Eggnog originates in England? This festive feast, that is nowadays so synonymous with our cousins across the pond, does in fact owe its culinary heritage to this fair isle. In the 14th century a drink comprised of hot milk curdled with ale called Posset was enjoyed. Over the years eggs and […]
Dorset Diaries; The Barn Cafe and Piggery at Lytchett Matravers
The second instalment of my Dorset Diaries series involves a local trip to the Barn Cafe and the tiniest but most characterful garden centre called The Old Piggery.

Dorset Diaries; Lulworth Castle
I recently had the chance to indulge my inner Duchess with a day out in beautiful Dorset at Lulworth Castle. Nestled along the dramatic Jurassic coast on the Lulworth Estate sits this impressive 17th century castle. Expansive manicured grounds and views out to the ocean are the stuff of dreams.
