Oh lockdown, what a strange thing you are. How can something feel so teetering-on-the-edge-of-apocalypse tense and also so peaceful and enjoyable at the same time? For someone who’s closest thing to a hobby is going out to eat at restaurants, lockdown has been a strange time for me. I didn’t miss eating out as much…
HDL REVIEWS: SUSHISAMBA, Covent Garden
I don’t tend to appreciate fusion food. It’s not that I’m some kind of culinary xenophobe, I just think that often when you take two clashing food cultures and force them into the same dish, it’s too easy to fuck them both up a little bit. Mac and cheese? Heavenly. Tacos? Delicious. A mac and…

23 things I’ve learned in 23 years
This week, I turned 23. I’m kind of at a point in my life where I don’t think birthdays are really much of a big deal to me. They don’t yet inspire dread, but they’re just a benchmark with which to measure how much of the year has passed. I had a wonderful, relaxed day,…
Lymington Seafood Festival 13th August
Well this post has been long overdue! This past week I’ve just been a bit busy sorting out my home and preparing for the end of my post-graduation unemployment, so I completely forgot about the fun I had last weekend in the quaint little place of Lymington. Now the autumnal weather is returning (did anyone…
