“Oh Wow, they are Massive!” There’s a scene in one of my favourite movies where the assistant to the high-powered lead actress is given a landslide of impossible tasks and errands. She repeats a very simple mantra in order to convince herself that the hellish to-do list is all worth it in the end; “I [...]

Wow! Weekends like this don’t come around too often… It all kicked off last Friday on the most beautiful summer’s day. Courtesy of Manley Communications, I was invited to dine at The Test Kitchen in the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock.
