Lebanese Food
As part of my birthday celebrations, my boyfriend took me out last week for a Lebanese meal. Lebanese food is characterised by plenty of starch, wholefoods and vegetables. Red meat is not as used as widely as other types of meat, such as lamb. I haven’t eaten a lot of Lebanese food so was excited to try it. I was really glad we did as it was delicious. Here is a plate of Chicken Escalopes with olives and pickles on the side: Reem, Bedford

Tempura Prawns
A few weeks ago, I visited Hyper Japan, a festival of all things Japanese, taking place at the O2 arena, Greenwich. One of the great things to do there is experience Japanese cuisine, hence we sampled the above Tempura prawns and noodles.

Mini Adventures June and July part 2
Shuttleworth WW1 Airshow I had never been to an airshow before so being invited along to this one on the 5th July was an unexpected treat. I have to admit I came woefully unprepared, however I was impressed by how much there is to see and do there. One of the highlights was the Vulcan bomber making an appearance on its last tour. I did not expect the sheer exhilaration of seeing that kind of aircraft up close. It was fascinating. Katrina over at Mum for Fun has written a guide to airshows for women, that would be worth checking out if you were ever to go to one: http://www.mumforfun.com/duxford-airshow-review/…

Just a light bite
We managed to cheer up Monday by devouring this meat platter. Unfortunately, the wasps wanted it too but we managed to protect our goodies from them! The Bell, Westoning

Mini Adventures June and July
It feels like I’ve been on a few little trips recently. The great thing about this time of year is there are always things to do. I’ve written a roundup of some of the places I’ve been to. Hyper Japan I’ve been to this Japanese festival before and really wanted to go again so finally managed to get there this year. There was quite a bit to see. I’ve always wanted someone to draw a manga version of me, so got myself rendered in chibi form. We also really liked the candy stall selling Japanese sweets (green tea Kitkat anyone? ) I had to resist the impulse not to buy…

What To Take To A Festival
Friday marks the starts of Glastonbury 2015. I have already started seeing photos on Facebook and Instragram of people arriving at the festival. As someone who attended Glastonbury last year, I expected to feel envy that I’m not going to be there this year, but I’m actually quite relieved, as I get to sleep in a warm bed and drink tea! I’m also pleased not to be experiencing the long drop toilets (try using them in the dark) and trying to dodge hypothermia. Plus I have done my fair share of muddy festivals already this year, with Download two weeks ago and the torrential rain splattered British Summer Time last…

Quorn in Pitta
Another luscious meal that was cooked for me by a friend. I have never tried quorn before but my friend is vegetarian. I actually really liked it, I don’t know whether I’d want it as a regular substitute for meat but I enjoyed it and would definitely eat it again.

Time for dessert
I went to a party a few weeks ago, where the desserts were set on fire. It was really spectacular. The Swan Restaurant at the Globe Theatre, London

Afternoon Tea
I absolutely adore afternoon tea. As a tea drinker, I love the idea of eating cakes and sandwiches alongside my cuppa. Yesterday I had the pleasure of enjoying afternoon tea at the Woburn Hotel, alongside my Mum. It was her birthday 🙂 The Woburn Hotel, Woburn
