Strutting the Lucullus style…
I’ve always been bit of a wimp about cooking a meal for just myself. I’m a dry-biscuits and a bit of fruit or a bowl of soup kind of girl if I’m on my own. It doesn’t bring the same amount of enjoyment, cooking for one, dining alone. Sharing is nice, eating with others is …
‘Chasing the Sun’: travelling to two gorgeous locations and finding fabulous festivals, fun and food.
As the worst of lockdown is over, despite wide predictions of another possible ‘wave’, we are all looking forward to the summer and the chance to travel again, whether it is to the nearest beach, or to see much-missed friends, or to somewhere distant but safe.
