Li-ling OoiAxminster, Eat, Local Food & Drink, Location 0

If you looked up Safar Restaurant on Google Maps you would be forgiven if it did not appeal in the least, but you would be mistaken. Located right in the middle of an industrial estate, no stranger to large rumbling lorries and the deserted quietness of the end of a busy day, Safar was a […]

Mere paces from the water, almost uniform with the rest of the wooden beach huts that line the beach, the Knoll Bookshop is a pleasant surprise on the Studland Bay. For anyone who has come to the beach without their summer read, the bookshop is a life saver.

The British Library, London and Statue of Isaac Newton

Li-ling OoiAttraction, Library, Location, London, Place 0

Of all the wondrous sights to visit in London, The British Library is hardly top of anyone’s list unless you’re a true bibliophile. With that disclaimer out of the way, I must admit that the British Library is possibly one of the most impressive libraries anyone could visit ever. Not just because of its heft […]

Borrowing the name of the street it is on – Panton Street, Panton Yokocho is Japanese for Panton Alleyway. In Japan, Yokochos are narrow streets packed with small eateries, dive bars and izakaya. They offer some of the best food and drinks while staying hidden and off the high street. In Japan, you have to […]

So we turned up at Minack Theatre in Porthcurno on a bad weather day but enjoyed the experience just the same as we were in the middle of a Rehearsal of “The Last 5 Years”. We also enjoyed the beautiful subtropical garden that forms par of the landscape here.

Mousehole, Penzance Seaside Views

When I first heard the name Mousehole, it conjured up images of Tom pursuing Jerry as he escapes, firmly and safely into that little black hole in the wall. We did not know what to expect, but this little dot on the Cornish coast between Penzance and Newlyn was certainly well worth the visit, even […]

Rosa’s Thai in Bath – A review

Rosa’s Thai is a brave foray in to a city already overwhelmed by a vast choice of great Thai restaurants. While the overall environment and feel of the restaurant was pleasant enough, the food sadly was disappointing. We certainly took our time to try out Rosa’s Thai new restaurant in Bath. With such a huge […]
