Pigging Out At The Pointer
Cursing amatuer tube riders on the Baker Loo line is how my adventure started. It  was a Saturday and thank the lord there was an excuse to get out of the sweaty,  London mug. I was on my way to  The Pointer - a family run  farm, country pub and butcher in Buckinghamshire. We arrived …
Summer Cup-It’s Back! The Lost Angel, Battersea Sunday SessionÂ
In the summer of 2014 I spent my time reviewing Pimms, and what a good year it was. I parted the rip offs to the finest, taste the freshest fruit and was dazzled by garnishes of mint. In 2015 that passion took a back seat , however on Sunday something happened which awoke my desire …

Wine- The Training continues at no. 22
Sunday evening- what a rubbish time; 'the weekend is over!' you think as you sit and worry about Monday morning. My advice: go to a wine pairing evening. The feeling goes away in a instant. Yes lucky me got invited by TABL to a little place in Clapham Old Town called- 22 North Street. Now …

How To Win This Valentines Day
The queue at the garage is of men holding a pie in a packet and those deal roses. It must be Valentine's. In the old single days, I always felt proud on V-Day, smirking at all the pathetic couples with their cliche gifts. I don't need anyone I will say with pride! I tended to mix …
