About a year ago I noticed a buzz on social media about Nelsons Gold. Then a few months later I bumped in to Steph and Matt at a trade fayre, the couple behind Founding Drinks. Now the proud parents of three little beauties – Wild Knight Vodka, Nelsons Gold and the new baby Boadicea Gin. …
I was watching ‘Victoria’ last night and Albert commented that the British press referred to him as a sausage. That’s quite typical of the British with our good balance of sarcastic, a twist of irony & a big measure of xenophobia. So, typical that even back then the press would refer to Prince Albert, as …
Whenever I’m coerced on to a committee I’malways in charge of the catering –so when over a decade ago I was organising the ice-cream for St Christopher’sschool summer fate, I taste tested a local ice-cream (not in existence any more) – – it tasted like a horrible mass-produced product from a factory shop and I …

It fascinated me to think of the regular afternoon tea’s and the glass of champagne before bed, with 20 Buckingham Palace chefs and butlers galore on hand.
