I’ve always loved writing but seemed to have lost my mojo, that’s ‘Bananas’ right! So, I thought I’ve got to write something soon. I was encouraged to write a diary from a ‘wee age’, then I went on to write short story’s in to my teens, then poetry which occasionally I’d get published, I even …
Yes, I’m the sort of traveller who enters a country armed with a list of foods to try, an eating schedule and a walking map. Plus, I like to book myself on to a food and drink walking tour, it’s a great way to learn about the history of a place, while eating your way …
There’s a new kid in town and one that involves eating – my favourite kind. The Bowling House is a one off, recently opened in the old Cinema (old Weatherspoons, old Asian buffet) on 7 Dereham road, Nr2 4HX. Five lanes of automated ten pin bowling from £5.50 Mondays to £8 per person weekends. But …

Jamie’s Italian Restaurant in Norwich Back when Trump wasn’t a pensioner & Kim Jung-Un was a toddler, I was on a risk assessment training course at Leith’s catering HQ, right next door to the TFI studios. It was our last day on the course, I was sitting the exam and Chris Evans guests were rocking …
