Over the coming months we will be looking at some of the fabulous places that the UK has to offer in terms of holidays, great food and how you can start supporting the environments that you visit without cutting corners or forgoing the luxury and lifestyle that you want to experience when you are away from home. Destination Conwy has a world of culture, local food and breathtaking scenery to share with those looking to travel to Wales and supports its local communities every step of the way.

I like to think I am a careful driver. As an ex-motorbike rider I am aware of the dangers of not being seen. I am also aware that many drivers are still not as observant of other road users as they could be. The fact remains that if you are not in a car many road users simply don't see you. So why make yourself less visible when you could easily stand out from the crowd and make sure you are seen with a 'See Me More' High Visibility LED Reflective Light Vest.

Our VisitBrighton journey would not have been complete without somewhere central to stay, and there is nothing better than actually finding somewhere big enough to accommodate all your family and friends when you want to have a great break away. Vine Street Studios offer ample accommodation for up to 16 people with their retro loft conversion. And when the party comes to you in the form of a mixology class, it is the icing on the cake.

Mixing Oriental customs and a cool, urban setting, Ping Pong Wembley is a trendy addition to Wembley Park's popular Designer Outlet. Offering a wide range of Asian treats, the sleek Ping Pong restaurants offer a big choice of dumplings and steamed buns along with an array of fragrant Chinese soups and rice pots.

Swapping out potatoes and pasta for rice is a good way to keep your grain intake up, whilst consuming a good source of complex carbohydrates - but did you know that by switching to black rice you could also be boosting your antioxidant intake? With the Black Rice of Vietnam you can add a nutty flavour and bolder texture to your dishes, while increasing your intake of beneficial foods.

Living out of town and 'in the sticks' can pose an obstacle or two when you are looking for a great little place to grab a coffee, take a break away from the office or organise an informal business meeting or work-related chat. Whilst London has an abundance of pop-in places, Surrey has an enormous amount of country pubs but finding ones that stock soya and free-from cakes presents more of a challenge.
