Food, Travel, Design and Cooking!
Last weekend we made a quick trip over to Vancouver Island. It’s been about three years…far too long! Back in the day, before we really got the travel bug and when we still had a mortgage to pay off, we used to go over quite often. Vancouver Island is very beautiful and if you get […]
A couple of days ago we were fortunate enough to attend a special “Rose Dinner” at Burdock and Co. here in Vancouver. Sorry about the lack of photos…a bit too dark! But click on the link below to get your mouth watering! Highly recommended! Two wine importers/makers were in attendance walking us through tasting each […]

One sunny morning, we headed to Smithfield & Clerkenwell, to check things out. The area has been attracting a lot of designers & architects. It is […]

We enjoyed two visits to the Harwood Arms. They‘re the only gastropub in London to have a Michelin star and are known for […]
