***AVOID*** AVOID *** AVOID *** AVOID *** AVOID *** Sometimes there needs to be a zero rating, especially reserved for those experiences where even a rating of 1 seems too high!! I don't think I've every written such a negative review, but our experience at this establishment was so awful, that I feel the need... Continue Reading →

Service is virtually non-existent. Took ages for our drinks to arrive. When ordering our food we asked what dips came with the focaccia bread, but our server seemed unsure. Took a while for a food to arrive - the dips that came with the focaccia were not what we were told they would be. The... Continue Reading →

What a true joy and privilege it is to be blog touring today, not only for the fantastic Jane Green, but also for a book that I feel has taken her into a completely new realm in her writing journey. I’ve enjoyed all of Jane Green’s previous books, but I really didn’t want Sister Stardust […]
