I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a £3 Sainsbury’s voucher than this deeply philosophical three year old. She has got a point… Chris King, I salute you—a role model to Customer Managers nationwide!

Thanks Olive magazine for making my day! Much to my delight, the wonderful magazine that is Olive has made me February’s ‘Blog of the Month’. They (unsurprisingly) decided to lift an extract on olives to pop on page 9. Thanks once again for everyone’s enthusiasm with this blog—makes me very happy and keeps me out [...]

One of my saddest moments happened when I went to boarding school aged thirteen. It wasn’t down to feelings of abandonment or any old-fashioned fagging system. But I came face to face with the stark reality that normal people didn’t eat ice cream for breakfast. Five years of toast. Boring. Mum always had a liberal [...]

I don’t know what you were up to on your Friday night - pub, club, Christmas party…well, I was chilling out in the flat (literally - the heating system is far too complex for me to understand), and doing a spot of painting - living the high life! …anyway-here’s the result. Some acrylic apples to [...]

Back from Kerala about a stone heavier, covered in mosquito bites and buzzing from an epic adventure. We travelled between Fort Cochin, Ooty and Alleppy on trains, buses, and boat. We infiltrated the Maharaja of Mysore’s summer palace, had an epiphany over the actual meaning of ‘masala’, and Tom narrowly escaped serious injury after throwing [...]

It’s rare that you remember your first acquaintance with new food – I don’t remember my first cheese sandwich or my first sip of orange juice. But I do remember eating my first olive. I was about 14 years old –round the same time that I decided to like stilton and red wine. It’s not [...]

I love ice cream. It’s not a whimsical affair, not just a fad—it’s not like I enjoy a scoop of vanilla from time to time, but I’m full on infatuated with all colours and creed—sorbets, sundaes, syrups…the whole works. So, imagine my excitement when I heard that Häagen-Dazs is looking for an official Taste Testing [...]
