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 […]

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 […]

A Retreat at the New Hilltop Reserves at the Isle of Eriska

A Retreat at the New Hilltop Reserves at the Isle of Eriska

Celebrations Honeymoons Weddings

As you arrive over the clickety clackety bridge, to the impressive private island of Isle of Eriska, nothing can prepare you for what awaits. Passing through woodlands, the “Relais Chateux” property of Eriska, is a charming building set amongst 300 acres. It’s located close to a private air field if you’re lucky enough to own a private jet. For most its a picturesque three hour scenic drive through Loch Lomond from Edinburgh. Eriska boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant, a nine-hole golf course, the Stables Spa, a casual Deck Restaurant and even a private beach as well lots of lovely nature trails. The Isle of Eriska is truly magnificent. The main house is welcoming and homely, with a quintessentially British charm, and roaring fires, even in the midst of the unpredictable Scottish Summer. In contrast, the new Hilltops are really modern, beautifully appointed and immaculate. It’s a nice feeling being the first to stay in the Hilltop Reserves. They have a Scandinavian hygee feel to them. They are furnished luxuriously, with everything being quite sleek, stylish and rather plush. The lodges have been designed with attention to detail. The kitchen is well stocked with Joseph and Joseph accessories and there’s even some fresh milk waiting in the fridge. It’s […]

Rock Bar, Bali

Celebrations Food & Drink Honeymoons

he Rock Bar, at The Ayana Resort & Spa, has to be one our favourite bars of all time. Nestled in the side of a cliff, it boasts unprecedented, panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Accessed by a small cable car it is rather unique. It’s best to arrive early and have cocktails and nibbles on a lounger to avoid the crowds. As the sun beams down it get’s sweltering hot, but it’s a truly spectacular experience. Relax on the loungers and enjoy phenomenal sunsets. It’s perfect for a memorable celebration. It’s romantic and surreal and an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to go back. Rock Bar, AYANA Resort and Spa Bali, Jl. Karang Mas Sejahtera, Jimbaran, Badung, Bali 80364, Indonesia

London Eye, Waterloo, Southbank

London Eye, Waterloo, Southbank

Celebrations

Christmas brings London to life. Having been a few years since we last went on the London Eye, we thought we would revisit it, as it is a landmark that makes up the London skyline. So although the view hasn’t changed and it’s still a gentle ride round, we recommend visiting at sunset. Take in the breathtaking views of London in a romantic evening whilst sipping champagne in the air. There is lots going on in Waterloo too with Christmas Markets and ice skating rinks being added to the usual attractions. It’s always heartwarming eating at food markets on a cold, crisp day. Southbank Market has some amazing chips cooked in duck fat with truffle mayonnaise, or pulled pork sandwich with apple sauce. Catch Slava’s Snow Show at The Royal Festival Hall if you dare.

Sweetheart Cupcakes come to London

Sweetheart Cupcakes come to London

Celebrations Food & Drink Weddings

It’s always rather exciting when there’s a new opening in London. Especially when we are talking cupcakes. Owner Polly Antoniadi’s has been making customers smile in Greece since 2012 with her amazing cupcakes. And now Sweetheart has finally come to London’s Covent Garden. Having opened in September, the bakery resembles a cute, Victorian dolls-house, with floral décor, polka-dot cushions and pastel bunting. The cakes are freshly baked in store daily, with an ever-changing menu of masterfully adorned cakes. Each cake is baked to perfection with the finest, wholesome ingredients and laced with Sweetheart’s very own marmalades, creams, spiced fruits and flower extracts. This is the secret to their delicious, traditional family recipes. Sweetheart are true to their motto, “Baking Happiness” and put their heart and soul into every cake. The ever so pretty, vanilla cupcake is topped with a baby pink strawberry frosting, meringue and a strawberry, lightly dusted with icing sugar. The meringue adds a little twist to a classic cupcake, as does the surprise of strawberry jam in the core. The cake is light and airy, and as the strawberry jam oozes out into the meringue, one can’t help think this takes inspiration from two of our favourite desserts. A classic Victoria sponge amalgamated with […]
