You can’t be a Real Country unless you have a beer and an airline—it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer
With that in mind, we crammed the fridges full with 4 new beers; Lagunitas IPA, Mosaic IPA, Tally Ho Ale & Sole Star Pale Amber Ale. I picked them, which means they’re outstanding.
A Spring in your soup
The first glimmers of Spring are in the air, and that means we can thaw the Audi out and get a fresh delivery of produce from our farm in Norfolk. Time for a menu change methinks. We’ve got guinea fowls with pumpkin purée, cannelloni with spinach & ricotta, lemons soles covered in […]

Super sunrise, sunset
