A Stay Of Premium Quality – Premier Inn
Since changing my job just over a year ago I have become a well-travelled man. Sometimes in Europe but mainly here in good old Blighty! That means, of course, that I have stayed in a multitude of hotels. Ranging from the basic to the luxurious, depending on what’s local to the place of work. But one hotel, or should I say chain of hotels, that I am never afraid of booking is Premier Inn. I find I can always book in confidence when it comes to Premier Inns. The beds are extremely comfortable (sometimes the best sleep I get) and the rooms are usually quite spacious and clean. There is…

The Doctor Who Experience
Over the last year our eldest has become a big fan of Doctor Who. So on their recent trip back to the UK I thought it would be fun to visit the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff. (The spiritual home of the Current, revived series) She had no idea where we were taking her but as soon as she spotted the familiar shape of the Tardis in the distance she became very excited indeed. Once inside she was thrilled to see actual Daleks and other props from the new adventures. As was our youngest even though she had no idea who Doctor Who was. The tour is every 30 minutes…

The Kinovo Wireless Speaker BTX270
So there you are, the sun is out, sky is blue and all is well on this slow Sunday afternoon. When the unmistakable smell of smoke drifts over the rooftops. You hear the sound of glass breaking and people shouting. Looking up you see an helicopter hovering above, only to see it shot down from the sky leaving a black trail of smoke and death behind it. You calmly fold up your garden chair and decide to relocate yourself to the front garden. Once there you settle back to witness this, the end of days. You reach over and crack open a fresh beer while all around you there’s running…

Elementary My Dear Reader
Recently we received a whole bundle of goodies featuring every ones favourite detective. The genius that is Sherlock Holmes. So without further ado lets pop open the popcorn tub and settle down for some great sleuthing…. First off it’s the two fantastic films starring the great Robert Downey Jr. Now as you may be aware (unless you’ve been hiding out with a hermit in a cave located in the foot hills of Tibet) this great actor is going through quite a renaissance at the moment with 2 huge franchises to his name. Of which this was the second to appear, and what an appearance it was. His turn as Holmes…

Ilumi – Delicious food for pleasure and wellbeing
It wont kill you that’s for sure!Ilumi – Delicious foods for pleasure and wellbeing. Yup folks, this week I have been trying out some new food from the Ilumi company. Ilumi make allergen-free food but their aim is to try and be a little bit more creative with it all. None of this flavorless stuff you find filling the small specialty section down at the local supermarket. This stuff has some real guts to it. On the menu this week there’s been Slow Cooked Beef Casserole, Aromatic Thai Red Curry with Yellow Basmati Rice and, tonight’s dish, Thom Kha Gai Soup. First off – The Slow Cooked Beef Casserole.
