It's quite something for a small local restaurant which has only been open a few weeks to already have created a buzz in it's city, get itself a great reputation and be nominated for Best Newcomer of the Year, so Mr M & I knew we were missing out by not having eaten at West... Continue Reading →
Project Green Tea – Launching a fab West Didsbury collaboration
Being self-employed can sometimes be a fairly solitary experience, so sometimes it can be great to be part of a team. Although I do work with builders, trades and decorators etc, the lion's share of my time is spent in my own company, sourcing, designing, doing admin, dealing with tenants and the responsibility for all...

Life: Pigeon Poo, the West Didsbury mosaic, prawns and MORE cakes!

Major extra... Continue Reading →

I am 100% positive the phrase 'lick of paint' was used. Let me tell you, if Helen ever... Continue Reading →
Life: Earth Hour 2010 West Didsbury Style
It's funny how a seemingly random post on Facebook can turn into quite a lot of Saturday night running around, but that's exactly what a pal's post about Earth Hour 2010 did a little over a week ago. 'Earth Hour'? That sounds like a load of old hippy nonsense, I thought, what's that all about? One... Continue Reading →
