New Year’s Eve in Iceland

read more

New Year’s Eve need not be over rated, anti-climatic and overpriced. Having spent the last six years in different cities, from London, to Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and Abu Dhabi, we love finding a new destination to enjoy the celebrations of New Years Eve. To ring in 2016 we picked Iceland. Iceland has to be one of […]

Hotel Chocolat Boucan, St Lucia

read more

I distinctly remember the day I first heard about Hotel Chocolat and feeing excited there was a chocolate hotel. Until reality struck that it was in fact the name of a premium chocolate brand. Although delighted by their chocolate there was always a slight disappointment that the Hotel Chocolat was merely an illusion of my imagination […]

Fire & Ice -The Best of Iceland

read more

A trip to Iceland was booked slightly naively, solely to hunt for the Northern Lights. Then realisation dawned that if we didn’t see them it would be a pretty disastrous trip. Fortunately Iceland has so much more to offer, than just the Northern Lights, so much so, we almost forgot they were the sole purpose […]

Santa’s Grotto at Chessington Garden Centre

Santa’s Grotto at Chessington Garden Centre

Celebrations Events

There’s a wonderful sense of nostalgia at Christmas time which makes it our favourite time of year. There’s obviously a desire to create even more magical memories every year, especially for our baby. This year we were so excited to visit Chessington Garden Centre’s Santa’s Grotto with our little one. There’s a really jolly feel from the moment you enter, with cuddly snowmen singing, and dancing elves to greet you. Promptly ushered into the Creation Room by Elves, the journey through the Grotto begins.The kids get to fill a bauble with their Christmas wish and endless sparkly confetti. It was a lovely activity which seemed to be perfect for all ages groups. It seemed to be an absolute favourite for our 18 month old. He genuinely didn’t want to leave. Give a baby a room full of endless glitter and it’s no wonder really! After a bit of coaxing we managed to get him out, but we couldn’t convinvce him to close his baubel. So he sprinkled a trail of magical sparkle with every step, leaving a trail through the grotto. The displays at Chessington Garden Centre are so phenomenal. It just leaves you feeling happy as you walk through hearing […]

A Blooming Marvellous Flower Afternoon Tea at Lancaster London

A Blooming Marvellous Flower Afternoon Tea at Lancaster London

Celebrations Food & Drink

It seems floral fever has landed in London this May, with the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show and Hyde Park’s Rose Gardens in full bloom. From now until 31 May 2017, Lancaster London chefs are switching bags of flour for flowers and butter for buttercups, as they present the ‘blooming marvellous’ Flower Afternoon Tea. The botanical creamy Lavender chocolate mousse cake, white chocolate macaroons topped with crystallised violets and the tangy Lime and elderflower trifle with edible flowers, are just some of the new delights on the menu. The Flower Afternoon Tea features traditional scones with classic toppings of strawberry jam, clotted cream, and a delectably nectar-sweet orange blossom jam. There are plenty of tasty, savoury treats too. The home-smoked salmon roses on rye bread and Coronation chicken served on sweet cranberry bread are amongst the impressive spread. There are warm tartlets of English asparagus, with exotic saffron and sun-blushed tomatoes and delicious Sunflower seeded choux buns bursting with British woodland flavours from wild mushroom, truffle oil and cream cheese. The floral afternoon tea at Lancaster London is the perfect Spring treat for any celebration. Be sure to check it out. Lancaster London, Lancaster Terrace, London W2 2TY

Life Size Monopoly, Dubai

Life Size Monopoly, Dubai

Events

Monopoly has to be our all time favourite childhood, Hasbro board game. The Christmas tradition of getting out the board game and playing day and night over the course of the holiday week, accruing debts and taking loans brings back fond memories. There was usually a bit of underhanded stealing from the bank during breaks, and it usually ended with a disgruntled sibling folding the board and demolishing all the houses and hotels if they didn’t land on “Mayfair.” Since the evolution of tablets and technology, digital Monopoly is not quite as exciting as it used to be. With auto roll of the dice, and no loans or I.O.U’s available, and no possibility of cheating it has become less exhilarating. Imagine the delight when we found our favourite board game in the form of a gigantic, life size monopoly board in The Mall of The Emirates, Dubai. This was complete with an actual prison cell for you when you were dealt with those infamous words “Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go,” With a policeman to escort you there, Mr Monopoly hosted the game clutching his stick and stroking his perfect moustache. Drawing in the crowds, we queued […]

Romantic Dinner at Celebrities, Dubai

Celebrations Food & Drink

The One & Only Royal Mirage is called the “one and only” for a reason. They pull out all the stops to make you feel rather special. Celebrities is their fine dining restaurant which is just as glam and glitzy as one would imagine. The gold décor is elegant and the huge crystal chandeliers impressive. Celebrities is definitely exceeding all expectations. For a special occasion, a central table looking outwards over The Palace Esplanade is perfect. With a scattering of fresh rose petals on the table, and served plates of art is enough to make you smile. Chef Laurent Michel is pulling out all the stops with his European menu. The pre starter of pate, warm bread and light and airy cheese puffs was delicious. The large creamy burrata served on a bed of thinly sliced courgette, accompanied by a drizzle of pesto was meticulously presented. The ravioli starter with wild mushrooms was so fresh and prepared with sheer finesse. Both the beef and the lamb main courses were succulent and tender and cooked to perfection. Dessert at Celebrities is really not to be missed. The chocolate torte is indulgent, rich and dreamy. The divine, chocolatey trio of intricate pastries, were a fabulous end to the special birthday […]
