Considering designer radiators

Posted on | August 26, 2011 | No Comments

I’m going to hopefully buying a place of my own in 2012, and I’m already starting to look out for suitable fittings and furniture. One thing I feel can really improve the look of the inside of a house is the radiators, usually people stick with the bog standard white ones and sometimes just going a bit more adventurous can do wonders for the inside of house.

I’ve been looking at some designer radiators that would tick all the boxes of style and design for me, but now it’s just a case of deciding what type I get and where to place them in the house.

While I’m looking for a house, I would like to find somewhere where I can use electric radiators since I’ve heard they can be a lot more cost effective.

Anyone know where I can buy designer radiators?


Wild Garlic restaurant – Nailsworth

Posted on | December 14, 2010 | 2 Comments

I’ve been to the Wild Garlic restaurant a total of 5-6 times now in the past two years and every time I’ve been the food has been amazing, and the staff wonderful.

Somehow Wild Garlic manage to make each meal feel very special and magical, half of this is down to the food itself, but the other half is how the staff treat you.

The restaurant manager has recently changed, and the new David is just as brilliant as the old David, if not even more slick on service.  David and Matt (head chef) recently helped me plan a birthday meal at the restaurant, and could not have been more helpful and enthusiastic about making the meal very special.

I really love my food, and every time I eat at Wild Garlic I’m always impressed by the menu, and blown away by the taste and textures of the dishes.  Standout dishes for me have been the pork belly main, and the liquorice crème brulee.  The menu is always changing so it’s worth checking out all year round.

Price wise you get what you pay for – quality all round.  I’m really glad they’ve started selling nice local bottled ales since the first time I visited they only sold bottled lager, and I usually like a beer as a welcoming drink.

Basically if you live within 50miles of this restaurant then make the effort to visit.  If you live within 10 miles and like exquisite food, then you really should have been here already.

5/5


Beer in the garden after a weekend in Ludlow

Posted on | August 1, 2010 | No Comments

Just back from a fun weekend in Ludlow, having a beer in a pretty garden after a fairly long journey home.

Ludlow is a fantastic place if you’re into your food and drink, so many good local food suppliers and exquisite restaurants.

Also, this post has a purpose, I’m composing it via the WordPress app on my iPhone. The photo you can see was also taken in app, geotagged and everything (although since I have no mobile reception it’s not working right now).

More posts coming next week.


A view from my front door…

A summers evening in Minchinhampton, here we see two calves following their mother around the streets.  In ‘Minch’, the cows are free to go wherever they fancy with only cattle grids to stop them.  This explains why there is a load of cow muck around my regular parking space.
