I have been frequenting Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants for over 15 years now. It started with The Narrow, now called Bread Street Kitchen On The River. We went there regularly for years but less regularly more recent. We used to go every Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve. We loved it. We visited The Flagship Hospital […]

How often do you get to somewhere and it is not as described? What do you do? I often complain and sometimes I look at what I have booked and just think it has been cleverly described. Recently we went to New York and our hotel room was not as described, but we didn’t do
An actor friend of mine told me his mother always said, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. I think some people need to take notice of that these days. As I am sure you have realised my husband uses a wheelchair, that in itself poses some issues in going out.

Many years ago my Mother In Law suggest we try out Thursford for their Christmas Show. We were a lot younger then and the thought of going to a show that she was on a Pensioners Coach Trip Calendar every year, wasn’t appealing at all. Fast forward 20 odd years and, with someone we knew
People say never go back, but I don’t believe that is true. It is like anything, sometimes you go back to something and it is not like you remember at all, in a bad way. I remember taking my husband to Glasson Dock, near Lancaster, which I remembered it with gift shops and a pub.

You often get “ghosted”, friends drop you both with no explanation, people arrange to meet you and then drop out, or you just don’t get invited out. However, sometimes you find such kindness in people and it can be very touching. From making adjustment

We tend to stick to hotels, thinking they are better than most other places to stay, but this week we did something different from the norm. We had been used to staying at a Five Star Hotel when we visited Chichester and travelling to and from the theatre, but decided to find somewhere nearer. We
