Tonight we decided to treat ourselves to a meal out and went to the Quality Chop House in Farringdon, London. We had happy memories of eating there a couple of years ago and had never made the time to go back until tonight. Anyway, it is still there and we had a fantastic meal, with…

We have just got back from another lovely weekend on the Isle of Wight. We spent Saturday scouring the many charity shops of Ryde and picked up some beautiful vintage plates and saucers. The lady in the shop said her family had the same set when she was growing up so thought they must be…
