The lovely Food Urchin had extolled the virtues of his local Turkish restaurant so I, always eager to find a really good place to eat near where I live, asked for the details. High Road, Hornchurch is apparently the place to be for really good Turkish food. Life got busy for a couple of weeks, …

The Forge
On a bit of a whim, Col and decided to forgo our usual Tuesday night gaming evening, and have an Us Night Out instead. This entailed a last minute Travelodge booking, of which more later, maybe, and a booking at The Forge in Covent Garden.I will say, here and now, that they scored so very …
The Cricketers, Clavering, Essex
There was a nasty rumour going around last month that The Cricketers had closed because Jamie Oliver's mum and dad had retired and Someone Else had taken over. This was a bit upsetting as it is a lovely place that we have visited a few times but huzzah! Hurrah! It turned out to be just …

Back with a bang and a dinner.
This poor blog has been rather neglected of late, and for that I apologise but life does have a tendency to get in the way of, well, blogging. A holiday, then the wearying attempt to catch up with life again, takes its toll. Work, then home, then work, then home, then work again makes me …
