I’ve never been one for tradition, and my future wedding is far from the country retreat fresh out of the pages of a bridal magazine that most seem to choose. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the niceties of a ‘traditional’ wedding (I’ve been to many gorgeous churches, barns, stately homes and marquees and had…
Sushi sampling @ Wasabi, Grand Central
I’ve been mildly obsessed with Wasabi sushi since 2015 when I discovered the chain on a work trip to London. Having stumbled upon the takeaway sushi joints by accident (read: I was lost) my hungry belly was beyond happy to receive a selection of California rolls and nigiri. So much so that I went back…
Sweet treats @ Centenary Lounge
I pass through Birmingham Moor Street station at least 3 times a week, and have always been a fan of Centenary Lounge; the tiny cafe that takes pride of place in the main waiting area of the station. Offering a quiet slice of vintage respite in the always busy station, the Art Deco inspired cafe…

Seafood and eat it
Just a quick post tonight to give a little bit of love back to Birmingham’s Indoor Markets; in particular the fresh fish counters and the top folk who work behind them. I was running some errands in the area and (after being hit with the familiar whiff the building tends to radiate) it occurred me…
