Kew Prints

Mr Rev & I are getting married at Kew Gardens this year and we went into their art gallery at Cambridge Cottage to have a mooch and work out where to put the DJ.

 While I was there I took some pics of their fabulous prints - one of which sits in my kitchen thanks to my future sister-in-law and her husband!

 Anyway, they are beautiful and give a little glimpse into the past, so I thought you might enjoy them

Limeyard Ealing, new menu & competition!

Image
Today you're in for a treat, Limeyard Ealing have a new menu - launching today - for me to tell you about AND I have my first ever blog competition for you to go and try it for yourself! First and foremost though, I must tell you about the night I had at Limeyard last week. Along with some of the great and good of Ealing (note to reader - I do not consider myself to be either of those things!) I was invited along to try the new menu that Limeyard are launching today. Having been to Limeyard a few times ( more about that here ) I was pretty excited as I love the people there (special shout out to geordie waitress Sam who is pretty awesome!) and the food is always good, plus I was told we'd be trying the majority of the new menu...........including new cocktails. Unsurprisingly this sealed the deal and it was a date. We turned up to be greeted by a lot of cocktails to taste including the Smokey Joe (mezcal, triple sec, lime, grapefruit bitters & ginger beer served

Amalfi Caffe, revealing Ealing's latest little gem

Image
Like most Ealing residents I've walked up and down Mattock Lane a few times over the years, but apart from needing the practicalities of the newsagent and pharmacy or wanting some lovely fresh fruit and veg I really haven't ever seen St John's parade as anything other than a functional row of shops. That was until last Monday. Because last Monday, Amalfi Caffe opened. I drove past it a few times during the week, causing mini traffic jams every morning during my commute to try and see what was going on and working out how soon I could check it out for myself.  You see, before Amalfi opened, the site was Cafe Rosata - a spot that I'm sure was loved by some but it never turned my head (and if I'm honest looked a bit too close to the greasy end of the greasy spoon spectrum). But Amalfi Caffe have refreshed the site a treat. The fascia is contemporary and the inside has a modern and friendly vibe.   Our first trip (of many I'm sure)

Manicure Monday

Image
At the risk of sounding sexist, I think this is one for the ladies....so lads, look away now Since I live in London, you would think that I would be spoilt for choice when it comes to a good place to get a decent and reasonably priced manicure? To put it bluntly, you would be wrong. I have lost count of the places I've been to that have ripped me off, done a 'gel' manicure that has come off in 2 days (having been advertised as a 2 week manicure) and (in one case) damaged my nails. So, it gives me great relief to say that my search is over, and I have found the best place, right here in Ealing! Bhavi Beauty  are a relatively new salon in Ealing Broadway shopping centre (their entrance is in the covered bit opposite the back of M&S) and I have been there about 5 or 6 times now. Every time I've either had a mani or a pedi - always gels - and every time I have walked away happy and with fabulous nails. I wanted to share them with you as the
