With Birmingham Cocktail Weekend** on the horizon, an invitation popped up in my inbox recently that got me rather excited. Did I want to come to an event at Jekyl & Hyde to meet the Edinburgh Gin team and create my own gin? Errr, damn right I did! As anyone who follows my ramblings will know, … Continue reading The Gin Lab @ Jekyll & Hyde
Vietnamese street food @ Pho
I've written before about my love affair with Pho - check it out - located in the food court area of Grand Central. Once you get over the fact that there's always a queue (and in winter it's ruddy freezing) it's a great spot for a steaming bowl of noodle soup or one of the other Vietnamese inspired … Continue reading Vietnamese street food @ Pho

A few weeks ago I was delighted to see an invitation pop up in my inbox to check out the latest swish bar to open up in Brum hotspot … Continue reading Cocktails in the sky @ the Haig Club Bar launch
Bloggers go dating @ Siamais
Despite being an almost married woman now, let it be known I went on my fair share of dates when I was a Single Sally. Oh yes! I was quite the expert as it goes and even wrote a weekly blog for a magazine about my experiences trying to find love in this fair city, … Continue reading Bloggers go dating @ Siamais
Sunny Sundays @ The Distillery
I don't really like living in Tyseley. It's lacking in entertainment, Deliveroo don't deliver Lebanese food at 10am here, and my next door neighbours are basically a 2017 version of the Nesbitt's (showing my age there). However, one of the few things I am grateful to this shitshow of an area for - aside from … Continue reading Sunny Sundays @ The Distillery
