Founded in 2001 by father of three, Angus Olipant, Miniscoff is aimed at busy mums like me. From the beginning, I will say I wish I had known about this company back in 2001/02 as my children and I too, were denied!

Most of us wake up and reach for our morning coffee without giving it much thought. And throughout the day the brew continues to flow, to revive, to relax, to enjoy. And now, thanks to Artemis Brew, you can also enjoy your coffee cold brewed!

There will be few people who haven't heard of Baileys Irish Cream. The Irish whiskey and cream based liqueur boasting a 17% alcohol content. It comes out at Christmas in many homes without fail, but what alternatives are on offer for 2016?

Over Easter we had a cocktail of chocolate to choose from and found a few home-grown companies right on our doorstep, offering great chocolate choices throughout the South-East.

Ever since I can remember I have never turned down the offer of chocolate. It's always been the brands everyone would recognise - and there is nothing wrong with that! I have always enjoyed a Terry's Orange 'tap and crack'’, or polishing off a Toberlerone. However, this Easter my family has been subjected to a 'real' chocolate education.

Christmas is a great time to have a good glass of fizz or flat to accompany your meal, greet your guests with or relax into the night after a truly festive day. And this year your table can be pretty in pink with the wonderful selection of rosé wines that are now readily available.
