Easter Holidays see me transfer in to the role of Chauffeur Mum - running the children here, there and everywhere. And last week we met Grandma in Petworth at the Hungry Guest. Surprisingly, there are three Hungry Guest’s in Petworth. How do I know? Because I was waiting in the wrong one!
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.
When it comes to work, the last few weeks of being an 'Out & About' reviewer for Your Source Today has been pretty painful! In the last fortnight I've had a 'forced' introduction into the world of 'proper' chocolate for the first time in my life... and it has been exceptionally hard work, I am sure you will all agree.
About a year ago, James and Jen Middlehurst took over an existing café in Tunsgate Road, Guildford, formerly named 'Gluten & Glee'. Having run a successful wedding events company for over nine years and recently been awarded Wedding Caterer of the Year 2016, the couple are understandably very proud of this achievement - so what would they do with this new café venture?
Last week I went for a working lunch with our editor (Sue) to Denbies Wine Estate where she was organising an art exhibition of new and emerging artists. But I have to confess, prior to our lunch I hadn't been to Denbies Wine Estate for years. Fifteen in fact, because the last time was at a corporate wine tasting in another working lifetime - but I was so impressed with my visit last Friday that I think my husband and family would all love a visit too.
Local foodie Joanne Banks joins us at Your Source Today, as she searches out new bars, bistros and cafes for lunches, light bites and snacks. Jo spent a cold February morning hanging around waiting for her car to be serviced, and she will tell you, it is not something you really want to be doing in the half term school holidays!
